Imperial Intelligence

ISB Internal Affairs protects Imperial institutions from hostile penetration, disloyalty, obstruction, abuse of entrusted authority, and security compromise by persons holding public power or sensitive access.

Jurisdiction

The branch investigates ISB personnel and may conduct security and loyalty cases within COMPNOR, ministries, territorial administrations, and military institutions when authorized. IOCI Public Integrity retains responsibility for criminal corruption and offenses against public integrity. The Imperial Inspectorate retains responsibility for administrative misconduct, institutional performance, and failures of public administration. Routine employee discipline remains with the employing body. Cases crossing these boundaries are managed jointly or referred to the authority possessing the principal jurisdiction.

Responsibilities

• Investigate espionage, sabotage, undisclosed hostile contacts, and serious security breaches by Imperial personnel.
• Examine abuse of classified access, retaliation, obstruction, and compromise of security investigations.
• Conduct sensitive background and continuing-vetting inquiries.
• Protect complainants, sources, and evidence from interference by senior officials.
• Refer criminal, administrative, or military findings to the authority empowered to act.

Independence

Cases involving senior ISB leadership are reported outside the ordinary chain to the Select Committee, Ruling Council, Inspectorate, or Ministry of Justice as appropriate. Subjects are not presumed disloyal merely because an allegation has been made.

Loyalty and Law

Loyalty officers advise commands and identify genuine security concerns; they do not demand personal allegiance to individual superiors. ISB Marshals execute specialized authorities but remain accountable to law, records, and review.
