Kusari Naval Intelligence Division
KNI| - KNF ID and IFF
On 823 A.S. the Kempeitai Agency staged a massed defection to the Imperial Restoration movement, creating a huge gap in the Republic of Kusari information and defence capabilities. at the same time, a few thousand former agents and staff of the agency that remained loyal to the republic remained imprisoned or otherwise unauthorized to perform any of their former duties, as the KPT had been outlawed.
Realizing the need of advanced data gathering and intelligence operations, and to prevent the squandering of the highly specialized manpower and knowledge present in the Kempeitai Agency remnants, the Kusari Naval Forces decided to reorganize internally some of their recon and analysis units into a new Intelligence Division, and pleaded to the Republican Government to allow for the incorporation of the former agents who had been found not guilty of conspiracy against the state.
Kusari Naval Intelligence Division, also known as KNI, is a division within the Kusari Naval Forces whose mission is to collect, analyse, and exploit information and intelligence in support of law enforcement, national security, military, and foreign policy objectives.
With less operational capabilities than the former KPT, and dealing with the incorporation of agents and transferred military staff, the KNI is working hard to build its mark on the republican war effort, and expand its assets and options.
The KNI operates under the command of the KNF admiralty, and the continuous watch of the Tokkeitai military police.
