SIA: Truth Through Vigilance. Freedom Through Knowledge.

History Manifesto Charter

History

The Space Intelligence Agency (SIA) boasts a long and convoluted history, its roots surprisingly intertwined with some of the most infamous and influential organizations across multiple universes. Its origins can be traced back to the shadowy depths of the planet Nirn, where a clandestine group known as the Dark Brotherhood operated in the shadows. This guild of assassins, masters of stealth and subterfuge, were renowned for their ability to gather information and exploit weaknesses. Over time, their focus shifted from contract killings to political intrigue and intelligence gathering, eventually attracting the attention of powerful figures beyond their provincial borders.

As their influence grew and with the advent of interstellar travel, the Dark Brotherhood expanded its operations, transcending the boundaries of Tamriel and establishing a presence on Earth. Here, they subtly infiltrated the nascent intelligence community, their expertise in covert operations and information warfare proving invaluable. By the mid-20th century, they had effectively evolved into the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), a key component of the United States’ national security apparatus. However, their true origins and underlying motivations remained shrouded in secrecy.

Over time, the DIA’s focus shifted once again. Recognizing the vast potential of the galactic stage, they established a new headquarters at the Citadel, within the Widow’s system of the Serpent Nebula. Operating under the guise of an intergalactic peacekeeping force, they continued to gather intelligence and manipulate events from the shadows, their influence extending across countless star systems.

However, their presence at the Citadel eventually attracted unwanted attention, forcing them to relocate once more. They set their sights on the lawless and unforgiving planet of Matar, within Minmatar space of New Eden. Here, amidst the constant conflict and shifting alliances, they thrived, mastering the art of corporate espionage and interstellar warfare. Their vast network of informants and agents provided them with unparalleled access to information, allowing them to manipulate markets, orchestrate coups, and even instigate wars for their own benefit.

Eventually, the SIA’s insatiable thirst for knowledge and power led them to the Stanton system. Establishing a base of operations at Orison, a sprawling city in the clouds on the planet Crusader, they continue their clandestine activities, their influence permeating every level of society. From the bustling spaceports to the shadowy underworld, the SIA’s agents are constantly at work, gathering intelligence, manipulating events, and ensuring their continued dominance in the galaxy. Their ultimate goals remain a mystery, but one thing is certain: the Space Intelligence Agency is a force to be reckoned with, its legacy stretching across time and space.

Manifesto

The Manifesto of the Space Intelligence Agency

From the shadows of Nirn to the clouds of Crusader, one truth has guided us: knowledge is power. We are the inheritors of a legacy forged in secrecy, honed by necessity, and driven by an unyielding thirst for understanding. We are the Space Intelligence Agency, and this is our creed:

I. Truth Above All: Deception may be our tool, but truth is our objective. We pierce the veil of lies and expose the machinations of those who would manipulate and control. We illuminate the darkness, revealing the hidden agendas that threaten the stability of the galaxy.

II. Freedom Through Awareness: Ignorance is the breeding ground of tyranny. We empower the citizens of Stanton with the knowledge to make informed choices, to resist oppression, and to safeguard their liberty. We are the guardians of their right to know.

III. The Unseen Hand: We operate in the shadows, not for our own glory, but for the greater good. Our agents are the unseen eyes and ears of Stanton, weaving through the fabric of society, gathering the whispers of truth from the corridors of power to the depths of the underworld.

IV. Action Through Intelligence: Knowledge without action is meaningless. We are not passive observers; we are catalysts for change. We use our intelligence to disrupt the plans of the corrupt, to expose injustice, and to defend the innocent. We are the shield against the encroaching darkness.

V. A Legacy of Evolution: From the assassins of the Dark Brotherhood to the analysts of the DIA, we have adapted and evolved to meet the challenges of a changing galaxy. We embrace innovation, constantly refining our methods and expanding our reach. We are the future of intelligence.

VI. Guardians of Stanton: Our loyalty lies with the people of Stanton, not with any single faction or ideology. We are the guardians of their freedom, the protectors of their truth. We stand vigilant against those who would undermine their liberty, no matter their power or influence.

Join us. Embrace the shadows. Become a champion of truth and a guardian of freedom.

For Stanton. For the future. For the galaxy.
