Prior to the [[Red Interregnum]], the [[Government of Urcea]] employed several police agencies - both local and national - to root out potential enemies of the Government, including the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal Army]] itself. None of these agencies had a systematic, nation-wide mandate, and many were forced to public account for their actions. With the start of the [[Red Interregnum]] and the legitimist insurgency, legitimist forces - once organized as an actual fighting force by approximately 1895 - established the Security Division. The Division largely superseded all the pre-Interregnum agencies in both size and scope due to the relatively unprecedented civil war nature of the conflict, which required subterfuge against individuals which were theoretically fellow countrymen. This was intended on rooting out [[Gréagóir FitzRex|FitzRexist]] informants and potential defectors within the Army and was also responsible for managing the flow of information to the public (and, consequently, the enemy) by any means necessary. The Security Division also ensured that allied political leaders within Urcea remained loyal to the cause of the restoration by a wide variety of means, ranging from {{wp|blackmail}} to monetary rewards. | Prior to the [[Red Interregnum]], the [[Government of Urcea]] employed several police agencies - both local and national - to root out potential enemies of the Government, including the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal Army]] itself.

The Agency was established as part of the Constitutional Settlement Act of 1902, passed approximately a month after the recapture of [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] by forces loyal to [[House de Weluta]], ending the [[Red Interregnum]]. The Act included a large number of reforms affirming some of the changes made during the rule of [[Gréagóir FitzRex]], but also many changes intended to strengthen the restored Monarchy while introducing some further democratic reforms in order to stabilize the country. The establishment of an Agency to root out domestic insurgents or threats to the regime was considered imperative and was accordingly included within the Act. The bulk of the initial force of the Agency was drawn from the ranks of the Legitimist Army Security Division, though additional personnel - both officers, law enforcement, and paid informants - were added over the course of the Agency's existence. | The Agency was established as part of the [[Constitutional Settlement Act of 1902]], passed approximately a month after the recapture of [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] by forces loyal to [[House de Weluta]], ending the [[Red Interregnum]].

The Agency's tactics and existence were significantly controversial, even in its earliest days. Its participation in the [[Trasinor affair]] invited public scrutiny and investigations by the [[Concilium Daoni]], though it was allowed to continue operating. | The Agency's tactics and existence were significantly controversial, even in its earliest days.
