The other main component of the Ministry of Defense (along with the Office of Military Affairs) is the Defense Intelligence Agency, which focuses on collecting and analyzing intelligence and conducting non-military covert action for the benefit of New Alexandria without revealing the hand of the republic.
New Alexandria's spy and information networks significantly expanded with the addition of Dweomer's, and DIA maintains friendly liaison relations with Lazlo, New Lazlo, Relic, and a few others to enhance intelligence capabilities.
The DIA is broken down into 5 directorates:
1. Directorate of Operations (clandestine collection of intelligence)
2. Directorate of Technical Services (clandestine electronic and communications collection of intelligence)
3. Directorate of Intelligence (all-source analysts who review the information)
4. Directorate of Science and Technology (supports technical ops and develops new tech means for clandestine collection)
5. Directorate of Support (handles all the admin for hqs and stations abroad)
There is also a large training facility located within Camp Caligo that is used to train DIA personnel.
The collection priorities for DIA are as follows:
1. Coalition plans and capabilities
--collection through low-intensity guerrilla fighting on the Tolkeen front, learning tactics and capabilities, recovering equipment for analysis
--use of spy networks in the major cities and burbs to collect info on CS activities, troop movements, plans and capabilities
--use of drones and SF teams to ID Coalition bases around the continent, with a special eye toward ID'ing any that would be a staging area for use against us.
2. Vampire kingdoms to south
--mapping kingdom locations, collecting information on numbers, tactical collection to assist our hit-and-run raids
3. Xiticix to the north
--mapping hive locations, collecting information on numbers, tactical collection to assist our hit-and-run raids
4. Federation of Magic
--The relocation of Dweomer has probably put a mark on New Alexandria's head from the Fed of Magic (although New Alex is far enough away it may not be a priority, Dunscon likely is upset with NA's support to Dweomer)
--Penetrations of each of the kingdoms to keep abreast of plans and capabilities
5. Calgary demon congregation
--Colection on numbers, plans, and capabilities
6. Continued development of networks in all the major city centers in the continent, including (but not limited to) Kingsdale, Merctown, NG/Ishpeming, Old Bones, Lazlo/New Lazlo/Relic, Tolkeen, Coalition burbs (and maybe inside penetrations if possible), Juarez.
--Looking at political, economic, and military developments
7. Trans-oceanic collection is second tier compared to knowing what's going on in North America, but we would certainly work to stay aprised of events/developments in all the places we have established relations, including NGR, England, Japan.
--One element of this tier two collection is an initial exploration into the impregnable killer satellite web orbitting earth. Mapping out the satellites using psychics (astral projection) and ground-based optic systems would be a start.
