Imperial Secret Service

Imperial Secret Service: Although every service of the Imperium maintains its own intelligence section, such as the IISS Covert Survey Bureau, Imperial Naval Intelligence (INI), ITTO Intelligence, etc., the major part of the Imperial Intelligence Agency field-work is carried out by the Imperial Secret Service (ISS).

Description (Specifications)

The ISS is a massive organization estimated to employ some forty million sophonts throughout known space. It recruits from the best personnel of the government intelligence services as well as the intelligence services of the various branches of the armed services, particularly Imperial Naval Intelligence, the IISS Security Branch, and Imperial Army Intelligence.

The service is divided into three sections:

1. Special Intelligence, which undertakes the more important and secretive missions
2. General Duty Branch, which performs the ‘dirty work' (Sometimes called 'Wet Work') and general operations
3. Detached Duty Branch, to which all retired members of the service belong.
