Federal Intelligence

Within the European Federation's Ministry of Defense is the Federal Intelligence office. As far as the public mission of Federal Intelligence states, the office is merely responsible for collecting, processing and disseminating information relative to military operations and national security of the European Federation. In actuality, the scope of the organization reaches much farther.
Although a constituent of the Ministry of Defense, Federal Intelligence is separate from the Federal Armed Forces and the Special Operations Executive. Its agents do not use military rank or wear uniforms.
==Organization==
Unlike most intelligence organizations, which operate separately depending on their responsibilities, Federal Intelligence handles military, foreign, and domestic civilian intelligence matters as one comprehensive organization divided into several departments.
==Departments==
===Department of Domestic Safeguarding===
The DDS concerns itself with monitoring wired communications throughout Europe through the operation of a massive domestic spying network that collects all online and telephone data from every private citizen in Europe.
The DDS is headquartered at the Cheltenham, BPR.
===Nonconformant Activities Monitoring Division===
Part of the DDS, the NAMD parses data collected by the DDS and provides intelligence to the European Federal Ministry of Justice. The Monitoring Division's tireless work identifying dangerous and harmful criminal opinions online has been instrumental in neutralizing dissenters that could pose a risk to the Federation's integrity and to public peace of mind.
===Department of Foreign Appraisal===
The DFA is the intelligence department oriented towards monitoring, intercepting, understanding and influencing foreign affairs.
The DFA is headquartered in Berlin, Germany.
===Department of Truths===
The DoT is the public relations and propaganda branch of Federal Intelligence. It works with the federal government to construct press releases and advises officials on most matters.
The DoT is headquartered in London, BPR.
===Department of Military Counterintelligence===
The DMC is the intelligence department tasked with strategic deception and misinformation. One of the DMC's known duties is assisting with the planning for construction for high-security areas.
The DMC is headquartered in Berlin, Germany.
===Strategic Operations Division===
(See also: Section 534)
The SOD is a paramilitary organization employed by Federal Intelligence. The true scope of their mission is left to speculation by the masses, but is generally assumed to mainly concern highly sensitive operations of a nature that the Federation prefers not to associate with, presumably out of an uncharacteristic concern for its public image abroad.
Unlike the SOE, Strategic Ops agents are not necessarily elite combatants, but can be more expected to be highly proficient specialists with flexible skills and morals. The SOD has been known to poach operatives from the Special Operations Executive when the need and opportunity present themselves, but truthfully will recruit any promising and talented individuals the office sees potential use for, regardless of military background.
