| | | '''Imperial Scholae Intelligence''' (ISI), is the central intelligence service of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. It is dedicated to collecting information and carrying out covert operations. It is responsible for watching all activities of the various planetary governments, corporations and other entities within the [[Caperion System]] and as necessary the greater galaxy. As well, it monitors all impacting mercenary, bounty hunter and other illegal activities. |

| == Structure and Organisation ==
| | The ISI, originally separate from the military, would focus almost exclusively on the internal and external protection of the clan. Dante hired Impetus for the task of building the force shortly after her return from [[Plagueis]], given her intimate knowledge of the [[Clan|Clan’s]] system, long history in Special Operations and Intelligence, and being a famous name across [[Cocytus System|Cocytus]], she was the obvious and ideal choice. Impetus and Dante quickly assessed the required funding and drainage on the house’s resources and come together with a plan that would minimize the security problems that threatened the house both internally and externally. |
| The Imperial '''Scholae''' '''Intelligence''' is split into two separate Directorates, the Internal Directorate, and the External Affairs Directorate. The functions of the two Directorates are self explanatory, they split the wide area of security into two distinct parts, the regular duties within the system, and more specialist agents for when the ISI must venture beyond the boundaries of its own system in order to protect it and its inhabitants. | |
|
| |
|
| | As the ISI continued to grow and show continued success in their original mission, it was called on again to grow and expand to take on a larger role. It was moved under the umbrella of the [[Scholae Palatinae Military]] and took on an expanded role of Military Intelligence. As part of this realignment a Directorate was formed to run the group with a public Director at the head, while the Tempest Division joined the group as the strong operational arm of the ISI with the Emperor's Hand at the helm. Caliburnus was also pulled in to participate at a high level where the Force was involved. |
|
| |
|
| === Internal Directorate ===
| | In 35 ABY, the Imperial Scholae Intelligence has suffered significant loses due to the attack ordered by the [[Grand Master]]. Most of operatives that acted in the [[Cocytus System]] have been killed, spreading ISI resources thin and forcing it to recall some of its operatives from other areas in the Galaxy to be temporarily stationed at IMS Tipoca, so they could reinforce the remaining internal agents in their quest to find and purge any hostile agents that could infiltrate the refugees from the [[Cocytus System]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==== Security Defence Forces ==== | | == Deployment & Garrison == |
| The Security Defence Forces are essentially common police officers, and as such they make up the bulk of the ISI. Trained in all manner of tasks, they can be relied upon for day to day crime prevention, crowd control, and guards. They also serve as lookouts on their patrols, trained to recognise the tell tale signs of a Jedi in the area, and report any mysterious occurrences up the chain of command.
| |
|
| |
|
| | Headquarters of the ISI are on [[Seraph]] near the headquarters of [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]]. While the location serves as the primary address for the group in reality they are spread out across the system and galaxy. In addition many of the locations of various units varies or is actually stationed within the ships of the [[The Fleet of Scholae Palatinae|fleet]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==== Forensics ==== | | == Command == |
| Those assigned to Forensics are the detectives of the ISI. There are always the situations in which things happen beyond the control of the Security Defence Forces, in which case action must be taken to deduce what happened and who was responsible. The Forensic Scientists are generally only deployed to high important scenarios.
| |
|
| |
|
| | The highest level of command over Imperial Scholae Intelligence is a group known as the Directorate. Membership within this group is made up of seven members including the Director of ISI. |
|
| |
|
| ==== Internal '''Intelligence'''
| | The Directorate will oversee all activities of the ISI, formulating strategies and aligning goals and moving the organization in the right direction. However, the Director of ISI is the public figure at the head, while the rest operate in relative secrecy and do not attend gatherings on behalf of the organization. |
| ====
| |
| Another division that only generally sees action in the more high profile cases, the Internal '''Intelligence''' provide tactical assistance to the Defence Forces and Counter Terrorism. Their speciality is finding people, things, whatever needs to be found, whether it be stolen property of high value or a fugitive in hiding.

| One of the most crucial tasks of the Internal Directorate, counter-terrorism is just what the name implies. Trained extensively to respond with rapid precision, usually with tips from the Security Defence Forces, this division’s function is to prevent wide scale attacks, with lethal force if required. Due to the high criteria for eligibility, this is one of the smallest divisions in the ISI.

|
| | All members of Imperial Scholae Intelligence are commissioned officers as part of the military, however they do not follow the normal rankings of the other units.

| | ==== Internal Division ==== |
|
| |
|
| | All members of the Internal Division fall under the title of Agent under both the Investigation and Counterintelligence Branches. If necessary new members will start out as a Junior Agent while they complete necessary training but the majority of members will hold the rank of Agent. The most experienced of these Agents will find themselves promoted to Senior Agent, mentors to other Agents and sent on more difficult missions that require their level of expertise. A small set of the best of these Agents will become Special Agents. Given access to the most classified and critical of operations. They are the most trusted and skilled individuals within the Internal Division. |
|
| |
|
| === External Affairs Directorate === | | ==== Analysis Division ==== |
|
| |
|
| ==== Insurgency Operations ====
| | A majority of the Analysis Division hold the rank of Analyst. They gather and analyze data and are the main driving work force behind the knowledge and data of the entire division. Specialized and unique in their given tasks they are good at what they do, crunching numbers. With more experience and skills, the next level are Senior Analysts. They have access to more classified information and allowing more analysis across sets of data and work with more time sensitive and critical operations and trends. A select few of the best will find themselves as Watchers. They are given access to all levels of secure data of ISI and directly support Agents and Operatives in the field and are among some of the best and most trusted individuals. |
| Sometimes the best way to protect one thing is to make another thing explode. The Insurgency operatives understand this, and are the division called upon if an enemy structure needs to be destroyed, being trained in the use of explosive charges and missile launchers.
| |
|
| |
|
| | ==== Operations Division ==== |
|
| |
|
| ==== Espionage and Reconnaissance ====
| | Members of the Operations Division are collectively known as Operatives, however specific titles designate the type of work and level of skills. The lowest of these is informant, taking the most basic of missions and taking new identities and collecting information. Specialized and more technical of these will become Fixers, with a specialized technical skill in the field required to slice or apply scientific knowledge to collect information at a higher level. The best and most skilled of these individuals will become Ciphers. With a high level of autonomy and combat skills, Ciphers are dangerous and critical to ISI operations. Completely given over to the ISI are the Keepers at the top of Operations. These individuals know some of the deepest secrets are the most deadly in all of the ISI with direct access at all times to the Watchers of the Analysis Division. |
| A simple task in writing, this division’s purpose is simply to provide information on what '''Scholae''' Palatinae’s rivals are doing. Exploring unknown territory, gauging enemy strength, and compiling information and schematics on key enemy locations, this division is essential support for the entire External Affairs Directorate.
| |
|
| |
|
| | === Internal Division === |
| | The Internal Division is made up two elements, the Investigation and Counterintelligence Branches. Together these two branches handle internal affairs while also looking to prevent external affairs from having a negative impact internally. As well as special teams directly looking to protect the integrity and stability of the entire Scholae Palatinae Military, especially the ISI. |
|
| |
|
| ==== Appropriation ==== | | ==== Investigation Branch ==== |
| This is the division responsible for theft from items in enemy hands. Their function can have many different triggers, from discovering useful objects such as expensive technology, to counter-thievery in the case that anything is stolen from CSP. These agents have also been responsible for plagiarism, copying enemy designs and plans before they can implement them.
| | Agents of the Investigation Branch primarily enforce the laws of the [[Caperion System]] and through forensics and investigation look to resolve cases. They track mercenaries and bounty hunters while they are present in the system and look to keep tabs on all illegal activity going on in the system. The investigation into these individuals they are tracking are directly tied into the efforts of the Analysis Division. This group also monitors organized crime in the area keeping tabs on everything and maintaining loose relationships with them. |
|
| |
|
| | ==== Counterintelligence Branch ==== |
| | Agents of the Counterintelligence Branch are primarily concerned with the security of the [[Caperion System]]. Protecting from espionage, sabotage, assassinations and terrorist activities that seek to destabilize the region. |

| ==== Lethal Ops ==== | | === Analysis Division === |
| This division is the ISI’s assassin network. Sometimes people just need to be killed. The entry criteria for this division is extremely high, and its members diverse, from highly competent marksmen in camouflage to the seductresses with a hidden blade. The main target for this division are high profile enemy names, from suppliers to commanders.
| | Large amounts of data gathering. Collecting information, hacking, decrypting, interrogating, public news networks, surveillance, etc. |
| | * Cyber Security: Not falling into any particular category, the ISI’s Cyber Security tirelessly monitors data communication.

History
The Imperial Scholae Intelligence, founded in 33 ABY by Kell Dante and Impetus M'Nar, was created to fill the void of Internal Security, an area that the clan had neglected for years. With widespread changes across the Clan rising from its downsize into a House, innovations and changes to the new house’s structure were so common it seemed a natural time to introduce another new system, the Imperial Scholae Intelligence, or ISI.
The ISI, originally separate from the military, would focus almost exclusively on the internal and external protection of the clan. Dante hired Impetus for the task of building the force shortly after her return from Plagueis, given her intimate knowledge of the Clan’s system, long history in Special Operations and Intelligence, and being a famous name across Cocytus, she was the obvious and ideal choice. Impetus and Dante quickly assessed the required funding and drainage on the house’s resources and come together with a plan that would minimize the security problems that threatened the house both internally and externally.
As the ISI continued to grow and show continued success in their original mission, it was called on again to grow and expand to take on a larger role. It was moved under the umbrella of the Scholae Palatinae Military and took on an expanded role of Military Intelligence.
