The Bureau of Intelligence is the division within Imperial Intelligence responsible for interpretation, prediction, and trending based on collected data.
When the Bureau of Analysis finishes sorting, cleaning, decoding, or otherwise manipulating the data sent to them, they pass it on to Intelligence. Intelligence has culled experts from all over the Empire. They have recruited military experts, cultural experts, experts in politics, economics, science and technology, experts in almost every possible field of endeavor. Intelligence has plucked experts from universities, the Corporate Sector, planetary governments, artistic movements, religious movements, the media, the underworld - they have pulled in experts from nearly every conceivable place or organization, including some defectors from the Confederacy of Independent Systems and turncoats from rival spy organizations.
Intelligence combines the vast knowledge of its agents with the most sophisticated computer models in the galaxy to predict trends or future actions of the enemies of the New Order. These predictions are refined into reports transmitted directly to the Ubiqtorate. From these reports the Ubiqtorate establishes priorities and sets strategies for the whole of Imperial Intelligence.
The Deputy Director of Intelligence reports directly to the Ubiqtorate and is, in turn, reported to by the Intelligence Branch Chiefs of External Communications Branch (ExComm), Sedition Branch (Sedition), Crisis Branch (Crisis), and hundreds of separate Sector Branchs.
Divisions of Intelligence
The Bureau of Intelligence is divided into several divisions, called branches, which themselves are can be further subdivided based on function and sphere of control.
External Communications Branch
Sector Plexus remains the normal conduit for information between the bureaus and the system cells. The External Communications Branch (ExComm) is a branch with is own communications equipment. While much smaller than Sector Plexus, ExComm is used for emergency communication with system cells, or for priority communications with the military forces of the Empire. ExComm is used for those rare times when the labyrinthine communication works of Sector Plexus are just not quick enough.
Sedition Branch
Sedition is a branch of Intelligence which specializes in knowledge and predictions on organized opposition to the Empire. Sedition has been growing rapidly since the inception of Imperial Intelligence, keeping pace with the resentment to the new Emperor's rule.
Crisis Branch
Crisis is not a permanent branch of Intelligence. It is created as need arises, a Crisis branch for each active hot spot within the Empire. A Crisis branch is in constant contact with the Ubiqtorate, and ExComm facilities are at their disposal for direct contacts with Grand Moffs, even the Emperor if the situation is dire enough.
Sector Branch
The Sector Branches are the basic divisions of Intelligence. There is a sector branch for each sector of the Empire, and each sector branch has scores or hundreds of experts within it. Sedition and Crisis draw from the sector branches as appropriate for the situation currently under consideration.
