Starfleet Intelligence

Starfleet Intelligence (SFI) is responsible for all matters pertaining to the security of the Federation. Its duties include scouting of potentially dangerous space, reconnisance of enemy space, and classification of enemy ships to name just a few of its tasks. Starfleet Intelligence also maintains a small number of operatives, and counter operatives, within the goverments of threat and potential threat races. It also assists Starfleet sciences in pre-contact study of cultures, and is responsible for the analysis of potentially dangerous cultures posessing warp travel. Starfleet intelligence reports have helped avert many misunderstandings in this capacity. Starfleet Intelligence is also responsible for the special operations division, which undertakes many of the missions described above aswell as many other classified operations simply refered to as "black ops." It is for these missions that SFI maintatins a small number of unmarked civillian vessels, for the insertion and retreival of Federation operatives.

SFI is located in one of the four space stations that make up the Andor Fleetyards, in orbit of Andor. Due to security restrictions the exact space station is not published in unsecure documents. The high security which is prevalent at the Fleetyards, and indeed at any Andorian facility, helps keep its exact location a secret. If you are interested in appying for Starfleet Intelligence positions speak to a career advisor, or OTI, who will refer you to a intelligence advisor.

Starfleet Security is also a part of Starfleet Intelligence, and although a Rear Admiral is head of Starfleet Security, Starfleet Intelligence is ultimately responsible for the training programs which security personnel undertake. Starfleet Security's tasks include more immediate concerns Federation well-being, such as the posting of Security personnel at Federation bases and installations. Starfleet Security also prepares reports for Starfleet personnel on where best to utilise security and tactical officers aboard starships and space stations.

All Starfleet security training is conducted at Starbase one in orbit of Earth in the SOL system. The head of Starfleet Security, as well as Starfleet security administration is also located there.
