Lyran Intelligence Corps |
The Lyran Intelligence Corps (LIC) is the intelligence arm of the Lyran Commonwealth. It contains six major branches: |
Lohengrin |
Lohengrin, is the counter-terrorism division. Operatives from Lohegrin are orphans and through indoctrination they get ruthless,fanatical agents on par with the DEST, often used for "internal threats". Many agents were deployed on the Federation of Skye on the eve of the outbreak of the rebellion of 3065. |
Propaganda |
Before the Civil war this division was passive. During the reign of Katherine this changed considerably. Their technicians were now to suppress "harmful" reports, to discredit persons who opposed the archon and they coordinated with Loki for dirty work. |
Norns |
Norns (named after the mythical Nordic beings of fate) Is subdivided in an active and passive department. The passive department analyzes all communication in the realm and in foreign states also.
The active department owns a networks of field agents and scouts. |
DC + DG |
The Diplomatic Guard (DG) is charged with the protection of important individuals in thy Lyran Alliance (bodyguard, transportation and couriers for sensitive information. Members of the Diplomatic Corp are often part of ambassador's or noble's staff. They make contacts, gather information and engage in negotiations. The DC uses more softer techniques than Loki/Lohengrin. |
Espionage is composed by three subsections. | |
Loki (named after the Nordic god of lies) essentially is a state-sponsored terrorist unit. Their task is not only to assassinate and sabotage enemies of the state, but also to strike fear into the hearts of the foreign enemies of the Lyran Commonwealth. The over-the-top brutality of Loki-agents is infamous throughout the whole Inner Sphere | |
Bodians training, education, and deployment of operatives. Is the assignment and command branch. Its seeks new talents and transform it for a useful tool for the Lyran Alliance. | |
Molehunters counter-espionage, their task is to protect the Lyran State against all outside agents. Before the Civil war they discover and identify agents from House Marik, Liao and Kurita, this changed under Archon Katherine. Their new enemies were the MIIOand the DMI. Also used during the Skye-rebellion of 3065 to find out if the rebels had infiltrated government agencies. | |
Heimdall | Heimdall is an unofficial department and in some ways a internal affairs safety valve. Formed by LIC-agents who considered themselves patriotic Lyrans. Unwilling to accept the massive collateral damage that often resulted from Loki-operations they sabotage those that they deemed to be going to far. They are the "watchdog" of the Lyran peoples. |
