MIIO Insignia

Formed in 2798[1] the Ministry of Information, Intelligence, and Operations (MIIO) is the civilian intelligence arm of the Federated Suns. Its military counterpart is the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns' Department of Military Intelligence.

The MIIO was created during the First Succession War to address a problem with Military Intelligence: at that time all information on other realms was gathered and analyzed by the DMI, and military officers would decide what (if anything) their civilian counterparts needed to know.

As of 3025, the MIIO consists of four divisions: <gallery> Image:Miio-infogathering.png|Information Gathering Division Image:Miio-covertops.png|Covert Operations Division Image:Miio-internalinvestigation.png|Bureau of Internal Investigations Image:Miio-counterintelligence.png|Counterintelligence Division </gallery/
