INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONSStarfleet Intelligence Operations (SFIO):When most people think of SFI, they think of spies, and clever agents infiltrating the enemy's of the Federation. All such missions are handled by the agents of SFIO. Personnel of SFIO are responsible for performing the actual SFi missions. They gather intelligence, conduct counterintelligence operations abroad, and infiltrate threat organisations such as the Orion Syndicate. However, whilst SFIO is a big organisation, it is a much smaller section when compared to SFIA. Major planets, such as Cardassia, may have 15 or less agents working upon it at in once during peace times, minor planets, even less, or non at all. Agents move around as required, depending on the actual major threat at that time. All agents of SFIO are expected to take a tour of duty in SFIA Command Division. Whilst only a short period of time is spent in the service of SFIA, generally only 2 months, it allows the SFIO agent to see the work that is undertaken by the agents of SFIA, and appreciate the skill needed in this section of the organisation, as well as the dedication. This procedure was implemented after it became apparent that SFIA agents where underestimating the need for SFIA, and conflicts started to occur between the two organisations, due to the arrogance of the SFIO personnel. The tour of duty has become compulsory for all trained agents of SFIO. All SFIO agents dread this section of there training, but come out appreciating the work that there office bound fellow agents undertake.
