Description (Portfolio)

Each NITS facility contains eight information sections, each of which is designated by a distinguishing color:

1. Red for Research and Development;
2. Yellow for Financial Services;
3. Blue for General Information Retrieval;
4. Green for Xenological Services;
5. Orange for Personnel and Recruiting Services;
6. Purple for Imperial Resources and Services;
7. Silver for Non-Imperial Resources and Services; and
8. Black for Security Information Retrieval.

A voice-actuated computer link in the lobby of each NITS facility, programmed in Common and the local languages and dialects, will assist any traveller who might be unsure of the services or section required. Charges for inquiries are standardized throughout the NITS network and will vary due only to the fluctuation of the Imperial Credit based upon the local planetary rate of exchange.

Simple inquiries cost CR25, a more detailed inquiry with accesses to more than a single data base may run as high as CR2,000. A hardcopy printout of the inquiry will cost CR10 per page or portion thereof, plus an additional CR50 for each fotofac required.

A security request, provided a need to know has been adequately established, will cost between CR1,000 and CR5,000; however, the establishment of NTK clearance will result in automatic security inquiries into the requesting individual's personal file and an automatic logging of the individual's name, UPP, personal identification data, query and response to the query with both NITS and IDES.

Analysis of NITS charges since accessibility was granted to individuals in 703 shows the average cost of an inquiry to be CR137.2193 and the average charge per inquiry to be CR143.9788. This gives NITS a profit of CR6.7595 per inquiry, of 4.69%.

History & Background (Dossier)

Founded by Marcus Gozpodon Smyth in 594, during the expansion of the Rimward Fringe under Empress Jaqueline I, as a cost-effective service for the gathering, collation, extrapolation and dissemination of data relating to the Empress' economic policies. This was accomplished largely through the development of the Licensed Information/Communication Exchanges established on Imperial worlds with technological levels of 9+. Today, NITS maintains facilities on most Imperial worlds and on many non-Imperial worlds as well
