OVERSEER
Bretonian Intelligence Service, Overseer Branch

[Network Management Node]

The Gallic Invasion left Bretonia in the worst shape. Leeds is lost, New London still recovering from bombardement, Police and Armed Forces are understaffed and the economy is crippled. Bretonia is open and vulnerable. The Bretonian Intelligence Service has received new funding directly from the Queen for its operations directly under her authority. But who watches the watchers?

The Overseer Branch, indented to operate independent from the Secret Intelligence Service, was created both to prevent hostile intelligence agencies from threatening Bretonia as well as to monitor the operations of Bretonian intelligence factions.

[Access]

The following groups and individuals have read-only access to the Overseer Network Management Node:

- Overseer Administration

[Goals]

- Primary Goal: Defense of Bretonia from Intel-related threats

While the Police takes care of common criminals and the Armed Forces fight military-level threats, Overseer agents do whatever is necessary to eliminate threats caused by foreign or rogue intel operations.

- Secondary Goal: Preparing, contributing to and increasing Bretonia's defensive capabilities

The arms race will never end, and so Overseer agents will never rest. Acquisition of new technologies and deployment of new defensive assets aim to ensure an adequate protection of Bretonia from threats.

- Tertiary Goal: Gathering intel on other Houses and factions

Overseer agents act both overt and covert for maximum effectiveness. Show presence when necessary, listen from the shadows when possible.

- Quaternary Goal: Ensuring anonymity of Overseer Branch agents if requested

Overseer agents operate anonymously. Only the Overseer administration knows the true names behind the masks, helmets and voice modulators. Overseer agents will only know about each other if it is necessary and based on mutual consent.

[Missions]

Overseer will reward their operatives for their professionalism, loyalty and ambition. To motivate Overseer agents to put their skills to optimal use for the sake of Bretonia, Overseer agents will be able to request specific missions provided by Overseer.

Level 1 - Intel Mission

『 MAPPING 』

Nav-Maps tend to be outdated rather quickly. To prevent basing our operations on outdated intel, it is required to update our maps frequently, and this is done best first-hand. Directive: Head to one of the listed regions and chart them fully. File a report about your findings, include pictures of the fully charted nav-map. Precision is crucial!

Some of the most valuable information are gained from small talk. Never press any issues - when people feel comfortable, they like to talk.

Find out what they know and report anything that could be helpful to Overseer.

Level 3 - Intel Mission

Recruiting new agents for Overseer or establishing connections to assist in maintain our directives is important. If you see a chance, strike. Directive: Talk with people. Be subtle and talkative. Try to convince them to support Overseer's cause, directly or indirectly. Report valuable established connections. It is up to you whether you want to maintain the connections or whether Overseer can interact with them as well.

『 ANALYSIS 』

Overseer appreciates combat-ready field agents, but more so does Overseer value agents with an eye for the detail and for the bigger picture. The complete analysis of a faction or a specific situation is not only valuable intel, but also a strong display of analytic capabilities and strategic understanding. Directive: File a complete analysis essay on a faction, a House or a specific event. Be thorough and detailed. Point out strenghts and weaknesses, chances and risks, possible threats and how to deal with them.

Overseer is currently looking for KNI, MND, LSF, GNI, Order and Auxo vessels as well as those of the Mollys, the Gaians, the Red Hessians, the Corsairs and the Coalition. These ships need to be in operable shape as we lack the parts to restore broken vessels authentically.

Level 1 - Security Mission

Announcements regarding these specific convoys will be sent to Overseer field agents.

Level 2 - Security Mission

『 FILE 』

The war with Gallia left Bretonia in a horrible state. Capital ship wrecks and debris will attract salvagers. This is bad, as there are weapons of mass destruction out there. Step 1 of dealing with this threat is to document all debris fields and ship wrecks in and bordering Bretonia. Directive: Locate debris fields and ship wrecks in Bretonian space and rank them by priority. Big shipwrecks have a higher priority than fields of loose debris. Send your report to Overseer.

Level 3 - Security Mission

Remember to inform the owners of an illegal installation about your plans to make sure they evacuate.
