Sith Intelligence

**Sith Intelligence** also known as **Imperial Intelligence** or **SI**, is the primary organization of Espionage, Intelligence and Sabotage of the **Sith Empire** or **Sith Remnant** of the 37 and 3600s. A reformed version of the aging Intelligence Corps of Ziost, Sith Intelligence has since returned to its spot as being a force of terror and mysticism.

### History

Sith Intelligence was formed in the early 3700s as the Sith Lords began to reform the Sith Empire in the outer rim. The current intelligence agency was an underfunded and corrupt mess of an Intelligence Agency, with most of its networks and systems either outdated or otherwise nonexistent.

After a long period of deliberation, it was decided that the Intelligence Corps of Ziost was to be disbanded, the few salvageable remnants folded into a new organization under the command of a new Sith Lord. However, after a brief stint in operation, the Sith Lord was put into an overseer position as a new corps of non-force officers were placed at the head of Sith Intelligence. The result was beyond satisfactory, Sith Intelligence turning into a powerhouse.

### Organization

Sith Intelligence has two direct leaders, the Sith Overseer of Intelligence and the Head of the Ministry of Intelligence. The Sith Overseer reporting directly to the Sith Council, with the job of ensuring the loyalty and proper function of the agency, while the Head of the Ministry of Intelligence is the commander of the entire organization.

#### Divisions

Sith Intelligence has four primary divisions apart from the main agency. Naval Intelligence, Army Intelligence, Internal Intelligence and Foreign Intelligence. Each division handling a very specific and important aspect of the organization that requires a dedicated chain of command, officers and resources.

However, it should be noted that the agents of Sith Intelligence may not necessarily belong to a specific division. Such agents operate directly under the banner of Sith Intelligence, and act to enforce the will of the agency across multiple fronts. This chain of command has been the cause of multiple conflicts between Divisions and within the agency as a whole. Each division is headed by a Minister.

##### Naval Intelligence

Naval Intelligence has the job of working alongside the Navy to ensure its integrity and operational capacity. Naval Intelligence often having the job of rooting out spies, informants, weaknesses in the navy and any internal issues that they decide to involve themselves in. Naval Intelligence also functions as the analysts for information on hostile navies and infiltration of pirates, compromising enemy naval command structure, and sabotage against starships. For this end, Naval Intelligence agents have the authority to supersede the actual Navy should the opportunity call for it. This has caused a massive rift between the Naval Intelligence and the Navy. A rift that has even been the cause of vindictive attacks by both parties, going so far as to assassinate high ranking members of each other.

The Minister of the Navy is currently: **Loreth Vido**.

##### Army Intelligence

Army Intelligence is functionally identical to Naval Intelligence except directed towards the Army. Many of the same rivalries also exist, with Army Intelligence having the authority to remove Army officers and soldiers from their posts should the opportunity call for it. One difference however between Army and Naval Intelligence is that Army Intelligence operates in less of an offensive role. Still maintaining many of the roles, however in a reduced capacity.

The Minister of the Army is currently: **Aura Poxcarin**.

##### Internal Intelligence

Internal Intelligence, or better known as the unofficial name of the "Ministry of Propaganda" has the singular job of controlling the populations of the Sith Empire. Ensuring the loyalty of slaves, officers and the common folk while also controlling what they see and believe through both subtle and direct manipulation. Internal Intelligence is also the most powerful of the Divisions, controlling the most agents, having the most resources by a wide margin and also having the most internal power over the Empire out of all the divisions.

The Minister of Internal Intelligence is currently: **Insrith "The Hammer" Pentegar**.

##### Foreign Intelligence

The final division of Sith Intelligence is the division of Foreign Intelligence. Foreign Intelligence has the job of setting up espionage networks in foreign nations and controlling the many assets acquired in the various other powers of the galaxy. The role of Foreign Intelligence is more of a long-term one however, with most Sith Intelligence Agents who operate on foreign soil belonging to the main organization, not Foreign Intelligence. Instead, Foreign Intelligence focuses on the long-term operations and usually works on passive intel acquired by the various established intel networks.

The Minister of Foreign Intelligence is currently: **Mark Thyrestander**.

#### Departments

Sith Intelligence also operates various departments which have dedicated and specific roles to play within the larger framework of Sith Intelligence. Each department is usually headed by a department head, who then reports directly to the Head of the Ministry of Intelligence.

##### Internal Integrity Bureau

One of the first departments established, the Internal Integrity Bureau or **IIB** was formed to hunt down and purge any corruption within Sith Intelligence. Their role is universal with no division or department safe from their scrutiny. In one of the more controversial examples, the head of IIB exposed the Sith Overseer for plotting against the council, this resulted in the execution of the Sith Overseer of Sith Intelligence. While officially IIB was commended, the fact that such an organization had the power to pull something like that off terrified the Sith Council, and the next Overseer tightened control of the IIB. However, the fact remains that the IIB is one of the most powerful forces in Sith Space.

##### Watcher Corps

Through a complicated eugenics program built around breeding in and out certain genetics while also utilizing some genetic manipulation, the Watcher Corps aims to produce a group of the most elite analysts and scientists in existence. The program has been exceptionally hit and miss, with some aspects resulting in resounding success while also having unimaginable setbacks.

As of 3969 the Watcher Corps produced a small contingent of analysts and scientists for Sith Intelligence. An effective group of directors for their corps.
