The Naval Intelligence Agency was created by [[Slicer]] with the approval of Emperor [[Vodo Bonias]] during the regency of [[Arturus Goth]]. Grand Vizier [[Machkhit]] and Regent Goth had frequently been at odds, leading to the dormancy of many COMPNOR departments, at the time including the Department of Imperial Intelligence and the [[Imperial Secret Police]]. The NIA was intended to keep the Imperial Navy from being vulnerable to security leaks due to the weakening of these departments.  
The two main differences between the NIA and the ISB are the fact that NIA
 
dealt with intelligence (reconnaissance campaigns, gathering intelligence), and
 
that it's officers and agents were undercover unlike the ISB whos agents are not
 
undercover. Now there was a bad side to having all NIA agents undercover, which was
 
that they could not publicly exercise their authority. With ISB any of their agents
 
can directly address you and exert authority therefore. NIA agents could not directly
 
address and exert authority publicly, but had to report any violations to their CO
 
and the CO had to go through "proper" channels to address issues. This cut-down NIA's
 
efficiency a lot in internal security. That being said it was well adept in it's other field of
 
intelligence. The NIA ran numerous reconnaissance and counter-intelligence campaigns.
 
  
==Reform==

The NIA's recruitment policy was similar to COMPNOR's; they only wanted loyal and zealous Navy officers with an eye for illegal activity. NIA officers served undercover, so they were expected to secretly perform their NIA duties as well as their regular duties to the fleet. NIA agents could not directly address concerns of security or suspicions of leaks; they had to report any violations to their commanding officer, who was in turn expected to report those violations to the Director of NIA. This limited the NIA's efficiency in matters of internal security. The NIA ran numerous reconnaissance and counter-intelligence campaigns.
In Year 9 the Naval Intelligence Agency made a reform by including the army branch, appointing Major Kex as XO and
 
renaming it to Military Intelligence Agency (MIA). Shortly after MIA became defunct with former Regent Goth placing internal security
 
and intelligence under COMPNOR. MIA never had a chance to re-surface following the GE/NIO merger and the ISB/II re-integration back into the Empire

The Military Intelligence Agency, the precursor to Imperial Intelligence's Department of Military Intelligence, was an agency that dealt with matters of internal and external security regarding the Imperial Military. The MIA ran many reconnaissance campaigns to advance the military and political goals of Emperor Vodo Bonias. Founded as the Naval Intelligence Agency, Slicer served as its first Director.

When the agency was expanded to cover matters regarding the Imperial Army, and thus renamed to the Military Intelligence Agency, Major Bacara Kex was brought on as a Director.

The emblem of the NIA


The Naval Intelligence Agency was created by Slicer with the approval of Emperor Vodo Bonias during the regency of Arturus Goth. Grand Vizier Machkhit and Regent Goth had frequently been at odds, leading to the dormancy of many COMPNOR departments, at the time including the Department of Imperial Intelligence and the Imperial Secret Police. The NIA was intended to keep the Imperial Navy from being vulnerable to security leaks due to the weakening of these departments.

The NIA's recruitment policy was similar to COMPNOR's; they only wanted loyal and zealous Navy officers with an eye for illegal activity. NIA officers served undercover, so they were expected to secretly perform their NIA duties as well as their regular duties to the fleet. NIA agents could not directly address concerns of security or suspicions of leaks; they had to report any violations to their commanding officer, who was in turn expected to report those violations to the Director of NIA. This limited the NIA's efficiency in matters of internal security. The NIA ran numerous reconnaissance and counter-intelligence campaigns.

In Year 9, the Naval Intelligence Agency expanded to include matters of security regarding the Imperial Army. To reflect this, it was renamed to the Military Intelligence Agency, and Major Bacara Kex was appointed as MIA's Deputy Director. Shortly thereafter, Regent Goth placed matters of internal security and intelligence into the hands of COMPNOR, weakening the influence of the MIA. Following the reunification of the New Imperial Order and Galactic Empire, the MIA was disbanded. Matters of internal security were adopted by the Imperial Security Bureau and matters of external security by Imperial Intelligence.
