Kemet Intelligence Agency

The Kemet Intelligence Agency (abbreviated as KIA) is the official foreign intelligence organization of the Commonwealth of Kemet, Kush, and Retjenu. Its main goals are the collection of sensitive information from foreign countries, both allied and hostile, establishment of pro-Commonwealth networks in them, and execution of outcomes favorable to the Commonwealth. This can include but is not limited to: destabilization of hostile countries, elevation of pro-Commonwealth and/or pro-OFK leaders, funding and supplying of pro-OFK organizations, and assassination of foreign leaders.

## History

The KIA was established in 75 AEE, near the end of the OFK-EC War, in what was still at that point the Kingdom of Egypt. The idea of such an intelligence agency emerged after the successful Egyptian operation to assassinate the Kushite qore Taharqa in 75 AEE. The operation was executed by a mercenary assassin known as the Silver Serpent and captains Rashaken and Sutenhi of the Amun Army, and its results were overwhelmingly positive for Egypt, as, after a short civil war, Harsiotef emerged as the leader of Kush and agreed to a ceasefire with Egypt, as well as the unification of the two realms, which led to the creation of the Commonwealth. Wanting to have the ability to replicate such or similar results, Ramesses founded the KIA shortly after the assassination of Taharqa, with Rashaken and Sutenhi becoming one of the first officers of the organization, among other - also former military - commanders and agents deemed suitable for such work. The organization's headquarters were established in the city of Khemenu, though over the years the KIA has established bases in other cities across the Commonwealth.

The agency did not accomplish much else during the OFK-EC War due to the war ending not even a year later, however, after the war the organization became much more active, especially since 77 AEE. This was due to both thousands of army veterans joining the organization, as many units were disbanded after the war, and the fact that the peace treaty made secrecy a lot more important in accomplishing any of the Commonwealth's foreign policy goals. The KIA's first major mission was Operation Deluge, focused on supplying and funding the Assyrian Liberation Army - a terrorist organization composed of former Assyrian soldiers, who wanted to overthrow the EC aligned Assyrian government and reestablish a pro-OFK kingdom. However, this attempt ended in failure in 79 AEE, as the ALA was defeated and the KIA were forced to lure out and execute its remaining members themselves, in order to avert a diplomatic catastrophe and a potential war between the OFK and the EC.

The organization's most successful mission was Operation Kingmaker, executed in 78 - 79 AEE, during which KIA agents used bribery, blackmail, and other methods to convince the Mycenaean kings supporting Hecataeus to support his brother Tirynthius for the succession of the Mycenaean throne, due to Tirynthius being much more open to cooperating with the Hittites and the OFK, compared to Hecataeus, who opposed any agreement with the Hittites, was much more isolationist, and also opposed the Treaty of Euphrates, which had ended the OFK-EC War. The KIA also supplied Tirynthius with secret new weapons - Egyptian made guns - to help him defeat the Thracians and so win the competition against Hecataeus, which in the end led to Tirynthius being elected as the wanax by a unanimous vote of the Mycenaean kings.

The KIA continues increasing in personnel and scope, and has completed other missions, while still being in the process of completing many more. This includes operations in most regions accessible to the Commonwealth, including Hatti, Edom, Moab, Sabaea, Punt, Libya, Tartessos, and more.
