=== General information ===
Istikhbarat serves as the vigilant guardian of the Zaqqumid Sultanate's national security. Its primary mission is to collect, analyze, and disseminate intelligence crucial to the sultanate's safety and wellbeing. The agency operates in the shadows, with a network of skilled operatives and analysts dedicated to uncovering threats, both internal and external, that may imperil the sultanate. Istikhbarat's structure is meticulously crafted to maintain the highest levels of confidentiality and security. At its helm is the Chief of Istikhbarat, a figure of immense authority responsible for overseeing the agency's operations and ensuring that it remains aligned with the sultanate's interests.
=== Cooperation with AWARE ===
Istikhbarat, the intelligence agency of the Zaqqumid Sultanate, and AWARE of the Charlmann Empire, while distinct entities, share a unique cooperative relationship rooted in a common commitment to national security. AWARE, under the command of Empress Jeanette II de Charlmann, operates as a prominent intelligence agency within the Charlmann Empire. Istikhbarat, on the other hand, serves the Zaqqumid Sultanate, led by Sultan Saluddin IV.
While their primary responsibilities are distinct, AWARE and Istikhbarat recognize the mutual benefits of sharing intelligence and coordinating their efforts. This collaboration includes the exchange of information related to potential threats, regional developments, and other matters of shared concern. In addition to addressing conventional security threats, AWARE and Istikhbarat share a common concern about the spread of atheism in their regions. Both organizations are committed to preserving the religious and spiritual values of their respective nations, particularly the Ahadawineti faith.
