Wedjat

The Order Intelligence Division, officially codenamed the Wedjat and colloquially referred to by those within it as “the eyes”, was formed soon after The Order came into existence itself, in a smaller less organized incarnation called the Udjat, around 800 AS. It was founded by one of the founding members of The Order, Xander Aaron Ainsley Augustus Jacen Bastian Eadbhard Alexander Qayshon Dabney von Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorf.

Formed to safeguard humanity by gathering immense amounts of intelligence on every faction and event within the Sirius sector, it has done just that. It's massive growth can be compared to the growth of The Order itself, having assets in every corner of Sirius, and continually acquiring more.

It’s operatives are loyal to the core. Adaptable, impenetrable and omniscient, they operate on a higher plane than any others in the same business do. Service within the Wedjat means seeing the bigger picture, realizing that every breath and step you take affects humanity as a whole and being able to do whatever it takes, regardless of the sacrifice needed.

History

The history is well known to those who should know it and completely unknown to those who should not. 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 this organization's activities and goals. Information leaks were unavoidable; there were so many variables and so many sources that it was difficult for a militarized organization, even one as idealistic as The Order to monitor and more importantly, control. It was too soon for humanity to unravel all the secrets The Order kept private and for that reason the gears slowly ground to form the Udjat, and eventually the more successful Wedjat.

Politics and structure

The Wedjat operates on a basic structure with a few levels. When it was the Udjat it used to operate on a tiered pyramid structure, but a newer efficient cellular structure was designed to protect The Order from infiltration.

The rank system operates in two main parts; operatives in the field, and operatives at home. Both of these parts are equally important, and must integrate and co-operate efficiently to ensure the well-being of the division as a whole.

These two parts then split into their own cellular structures. Each part reports to the Spymaster.

Any operative can report directly to the Spymaster. This is to ensure that if a superior officer 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.)
