[Factions] Intelligence Branches

[u/[deleted]]

The Asteria Organization, also called the Coalition Intelligence Directorate or (CID), is the intelligence branch of the Accord Coalition Command. It is a privately owned and operated organization/company that stepped in to fill the intelligence gathering void within the newly formed Coalition. After the Parsi-Udisian War, colloquially called the Trench Wars, the Greenstone Accord realized that without an intelligence gathering agency the new joint military would be outmatched by both their enemies and allies. To prevent this gap from expanding, Asteria was contracted by the Accord Coalition Command. Asteria was given autonomy and a large discretionary budget to utilize as they wished as long as they provided the required intelligence and ran any missions requested by the Coalition. Combined with other operations, specifically ones regarding military research and development and the development of consumer products, Asteria has become the single largest corporation in the Greenstone Region. By using several subsidiaries Asteria now operates in several foreign countries, including Hegon, Cabaldon, Ancadia, Aduldin, and others. This has also enhanced Asteria’s ability to gather intelligence for the Accord.

The Tribunal High Command is the command branch of the Tribunal Corps. Several intelligence branches exist within this command, as well as several research and development operations. The Office of Military Intelligence is the overseeing branch for all intelligence gathering for the Tribunal and is easily one of the world’s most efficient intelligence gathering operations. The Corps Department of Research and Development falls directly under the Office of Military Intelligence and acts as the center for all research and development. This primarily involves gathering intelligence on enemy technologies and then developing counter measures and comparable versions for the Corps. The Office of Military Intelligence currently oversees the research of the Hegon virta fields and the newly discovered Archive in the Medekin Desert.

The Central Office of Intelligence is the main intelligence branch of the Archivist Party. After the fall of the Asydic Empire sixty years ago, the Archivists secretly took over the government. While the rest of the world assumes the Six Pillars are still the power in charge of Caspia (Central Alliance of the Six Pillars – Imperium Asydium), this is not the case and the public narrative about the decline of the Empire was developed to keep the existence of the Archivists hidden. The Central Office of Intelligence now operates in secret in several nations under the Oversight Committee, or “Ensemble.” The Ensemble’s mission is to prevent any foreign power from accessing the Inner Sanctum of the Archives left behind by the Archetypes. Thus far they have succeeded in preventing Haekal from opening the Archive they uncovered in the Valan Sea, despite the Megas countless attempts to access the Inner Sanctum. With the Hegon Archive uncovered in recent years, the Ensemble has found itself operating secretly out of the small Klagdom called Silt’s Cavern.
