Starfleet Intelligence Command

Command patch (Thomas Marrone).

**Starfleet Intelligence Command** was one of the two support commands of Starfleet Tactical Command. It was responsible for gathering and analyzing information about organizations and individuals throughout the Milky Way Galaxy, for assessing threats towards the United Federation of Planets, and for both covert and overt operations stemming from such information and threats. It was the most controversial agency within Starfleet.

## Organization

The command was overseen by the Chief of Starfleet Intelligence from the Office of Starfleet Intelligence (OSI) at Starfleet Headquarters on Earth. Until it was shifted under Starfleet Tactical, the agency was divided into three subdivisions: Administration, Plans and Policies, and Operations. After the move in 2378, it was restructured to two: the Office of Intelligence, which handled administrative duties, and the Intelligence Operations Directorate.

Field agents and analysts comprised the bulk of the command. While analysts were typically assigned to a specific starship or facility, they would participate in away missions and some basic field work. Field agents were those who worked undercover.

Specialized units were created as needed, to complete specific missions or to fulfill unique roles. These typically operated under code names, with one of the most secretive and infamous being known as "The Merchants of Menace."

### Leadership

* Chief of Starfleet Intelligence
	+ ADM Chakotay (2406-)
* Deputy Chief of Administration
* Deputy Chief of Plans and Policies
* Deputy Chief of Operations
* Director of Intelligence Operations
	+ VADM Bzrare Rininz (2403-)

## Uniforms

Personnel, subject to the Starfleet Uniform Code, wore the standard duty uniform with the departmental color of violet, unless on specific assignment requiring otherwise. On special occasions, personnel wore formal wear from their homeworlds or a Starfleet dress uniform.

### Service uniform

In 2410, when the service shifted to the new "Odyssey" uniforms, Starfleet Intelligence received special dispensation for its own division color. A shade of violet was chosen, which led to the uniform's nickname of "Violets" amongst SI personnel.
