Alliance Intelligence

Alliance Intelligence was a branch of the Alliance to Restore the Republic under the direct control of the Alliance Military responsible for obtaining and analyzing military, diplomatic and economic information and reporting such information to the relevant branches of the Alliance, neutralizing Imperial agents before a planet may be allowed to join the Alliance, and recruiting agents on Imperial planets. Intelligence was particularly potent when coordinating with other branches of the Alliance Military, particularly Special Forces.

Some of the missions performed by Alliance intelligence were similar in nature to those of Alliance Special Operations. SpecOps agents, however, tended to be energetic and not necessarily best suited to operations that required patience and discipline. Indeed SpecOps missions groups were often sent to worlds to draw attention away from existing Intelligence agents who's cover was endangered. Mission Groups were sometimes attached to Alliance Intelligence's Operations department and SpecOps free agents often reported directly to the Chief of Intelligence.
