History
Whilst The Order played a key role in the defeat of the first alien threat, word had spread out around Sirius about the secret organization faster than anticipated. Inaccurate information skewed for propaganda purposes spewed outwards about The Order's activities and goals.
Information leaks were unavoidable; there were many variables and many sources, making it difficult for a militarized organization, even one as idealistic as The Order to monitor and more importantly, control. The Order decided it was too soon for humanity to unravel all the secrets they kept private and for that reason the gears slowly ground to form the Udjat and AID, and eventually the more successful Wedjat.
As the personal child of two eccentric and individual Admirals, one would expect the Wedjat to be rather unusual. Needless to say, it is, but it is just as effective. The Wedjat was formed out of two divisions merging, the Udjat, a division known for it's reconnaissance and asset production ability, and the AID; an organization responsible for the assassination of the infected in high-level positions of power and the interrogation of captured enemies.
The merge happened as X was elected to the High Command in late 814 A.S.. One of the people that chaired the council with him was the Head of AID. The then former Spymaster of the Udjat proposed a plan to Admiral Mirage Bre'Delakorsa about merging the Udjat and the AID. This event is believed to be the catalyst in the reformation of The Order's intelligence divisions.
History of the AID
The AID's history is rather extensive and well-documented, having been much more overt than the Udjat. It was created in 807 A.S. and the priorities and tasks of the small division were simple; to locate and destroy all information and technology leaks concerning The Order.
Originally, methods were soft and had little to no effect. Those in-charge were struck by the sheer magnitude of information leaks around the entire sector. Information had become a valuable commodity and various hostile organizations were willing to pay in order to attain it. The Order and everything concerned with it was of special interest to bidders all around Sirius.
As such, more efficient methods were required, such that needed fewer amounts of resources and one that would strike fear into the hearts and minds of potential information traders. For the reasons presented in front of them, those tasked with making the decision replaced the original creator of the AID with his second-in-charge, Admiral Mirage Bre’Delakorsa.
With a new leader in place, drastic changes happened in the core structure of the AID. Many of it's pioneering members were discarded and the entire organization was shut down temporarily. Under the watchful eye of the Admiral, new recruits were chosen. Upon retrospective analysis the majority of people chosen were those whose records showed extreme violence and determination in previous operations.
Further training saw them turned into ruthless and efficient killing machines, trained to work in small squads, or standalone, deep behind enemy lines. Newer methods were also implemented, replacing the older, less efficient ones. The sanctioning of the use of deadly force was the largest, and most controversial change of all.
In 811 A.S., the new AID was fully operational. It's purpose was once again simple and clear; the elimination of all information concerned with the Order and its activities. Results were not far behind, for in no more then a few short years a significant majority of all information traffic had ceased, with all people behind it either eliminated or captured, with no trace pointing to The Order.
History of the Udjat
The Udjat, having been much more covert in it's operations, is only known as fact now that the Wedjat has been formed, and the existence of the Udjat is officially acknowledged by High Command. The exact date of it's forming is disputed, but the first signs of a shadow division within The Order started emerging around 805 A.S., a few years before the AID was originally founded. The Udjat functioned under the original cell leadership of Admiral X who used his influence amongst those in power amongst The Order to start this splinter reconnaissance group.
One thing that is not disputed is the efficiency of the Udjat when it first emerged on the scene. Half a decade after X's movements became for the most part unknown, around 809 A.S., the Udjat showed itself to those in-charge of The Order at the time. It came in with a fully set up spy network throughout the houses that was providing massive amounts of useful information.
Over time, due to the fact that the original AID did not have the powers to be effective in their role of eliminating information leaks, the identities of defectors, informants, agents and their controllers were exposed. This was a stinging blow to The Order, and the Udjat, but they recovered quickly, ordering the reformation of the organization. This reformation however only really took place in late 814 A.S. once X was elected to the High Command.
Politics and structure
Politics
The Wedjat maintains slightly different relations to The Order as a whole. These relations are constantly changing.
Structure
The Wedjat operates on a basic structure with few levels of hierarchy. Unlike one of it's predecessors the Udjat, which used to operate on a tiered pyramid structure, The Wedjat uses a newer, efficient cellular structure that was designed to protect The Order from infiltration.
The Spymaster(s) operate in the middle of the entire organization, each having contact with several leaders of separate cells. They issue instructions to the cell leader, and the cell leader carries out these instructions. The Spymaster(s) also have separate contact with each individual agent. Any operative can report directly to the Spymaster(s). This is to ensure that if a cell leader is ever compromised, they can be removed from the equation without the severing of those underneath them. However, this is rare, even though there are cases where it has happened in the past.
Cell leaders lead a cell of 3-6 agents. However, some cells can be as large as twenty agents. They take instructions from the Spymaster(s). They are given operations. They are also expected to present reports.
New agents are assigned to a cell. Over time
