"We've no motto or reputation. We pride ourselves on our ability to remain silent and carry out our lives and our work in secrecy. There is no glory, no riches waiting for us back home; no family to pray for our safe return; no one but us to mourn the men and women that'll never live to see another day or fight another fight. Someone must make those sacrifices. If not us, then who?" -- Anonymous Operative ___________ _____________________ The Ubiqtorate, also known as the Department of Imperial Intelligence, is a division of the New Sith Imperium and one of the oldest legacies of the Galactic Empire, preceding even the Galactic Republic. As an elite branch of the Imperium, the Ubiqtorate exists as the galaxy's foremost intelligence agency, collecting information and engaging in clandestine activities for the benefit of the Sith Imperium.More specifically, the Ubiqtorate is an intelligence-driven and threat-focused organization with both the authority and responsibility to investigate specific crimes assigned to it and to provide Imperial law enforcement agencies with cooperative services, such as biometric identification, network analysis, and training. The Ubiqtorate also gathers, shares, and analyzes intelligence -- both to support its own investigations and those of its partners, and to better understand and combat the security threats facing the New Sith Imperium. The sole mission of the Ubiqtorate is to protect and defend the Empire against both foreign and domestic threats. The Ubiqtorate is not a secret police force, nor do its operatives act as such. |
"Out in the field, any connection with home just makes you weaker. It reminds you that you were once civilized, soft; and that can get you killed faster than a bullet through the head." -- Anonymous Operative ___________ _____________________

"Power and influence: things that should be obtained not for means of greed, nor pride, nor ego, but rather to ensure that in the right moment, when your wisdom and benevolence are required to keep the Empire strong and united, you can deliver and orchestrate others toward the greater good." -- Anonymous Operative ___________ _____________________ As a part of their training, every potential operative undergoes an extensive psychological evaluation, designed to root out any lingering personality defects or mental illnesses before being cleared for field work. Given that the exams are administered by a medical professional and a highly-trained Force sensitive, it is impossible to fool the battery of tests; hopefuls who exhibit signs of mental illness will be reassigned, or in extreme cases - where they are unfit for any kind of work within the unit - subjected to a total memory wipe, and released to either the IAF or the Sith to continue their service in a more accommodating environment.Those who pass the required screenings, however, are outfitted with cutting-edge technology such as ICARUS-enabled communication devices, along with extensive training in various hand-to-hand combat techniques, forms of information gathering and analysis, surveillance methods, and interrogation techniques. Force sensitive operatives receive training in various concealment techniques, telepathic skills, and anti-mental tampering methods as well. It is worth noting that every Ubiq operative is a skilled and highly trained member of the Imperium: junior and probationary officers are often times just as capable as the Imperial operatives they serve under, and are not to be underestimated. One of the key programs written into the minds of every Ubiqtorate operative is the mind-rub. Upon capture and interrogation by potential hostile forces, the operative's mind enters a deep catatonic state, preventing them from divulging information, nor feeling pain. Their mind essentially shuts down. This state is quite risky, and has frequently put several agents in a deep and prolonged coma (and occasionally death); the only way to reverse the mind-rub is a secret chemical treatment known only to a select few Ubiqtorate medical officers. |
"Once you've lived the inside-out world of espionage, you never shed it. It's a mentality, a double standard of existence." -- Anonymous Operative ___________ _____________________ The Ubiqtorate handles the Imperium's most sensitive and secret information on a galactic scale. Thus the organization is very clandestine, furtive, and covert, and restricted to a select chosen few. Consequently, not all who apply to the organization will become entitled to a position among their ranks. Please understand that this is not because we don't want people to participate. The group, by its very nature, must remain small and only the most able applicants will be allowed to join due to the nature of the Ubiqtorate's various jobs. If you do wish to apply, please send a private message to Bee with "Ubiq Interest" in the title, at which point an application will be forwarded to you. Please note that while past incarnations of the Ubiqtorate required characters to be created specifically for the sub-faction, that is no longer the case. Established characters are welcome and encouraged to apply. Similarly, if you have concerns about the sub-faction's activities, please do not hesitate to PM any inquiries you may have. |
