Directorate Office of Central Intelligence

"Those OCI men. No emotion. Blank expressions. I don't think they feel anything, anything at all. They're like machines..." - anonymous Directorate Navy serviceman

The Directorate Office of Central Intelligence [Officium Centratum Intelligentiae / OCI] is the euphamistically-named umbrella organization for the Directorate's domestic and foreign intelligence services as well as its national police forces, both paramilitary and secret. Through the OCI [pronounced O-SEE], the Directorate maintains an effective, authoritarian grip on its millions of worlds and conducts espionage, intelligence-gathering and infiltration operations on its enemies. The OCI shares many parallels with the real world American CIA, as well as the more sinister Nazi SS and Gestapo.
