The Bureau of State Protection is the direct institutional continuation of the Commission of Public Safety that existed under the military regime for the entirety of the post-imperial era. After 1992 [[Linge Chen]] and the [[Party of Corummese Democrats]] renamed the commission and began transferring members of the PCD's organization department into leadership positions at the renamed bureau. A partial purge ensued with many agents perceived as unreliable being disappeared. For those that remained of the pre-1992 structure, Party membership became mandatory. The influx of ideologically motivated agents into the organization resulted in a more brutal approach being used on security matters as exemplified by one of its first official actions, Operation Brakion. Whereas the Committee of Public Safety might have simply arrested or condemned [[Shen Doik]] to internal exile, the BSP determined that he be humilliated and executed in brutal fashion.

By mid-1993 the BSP had been given the directive to begin the repression of the [[Communist Party of Corumm]] and its armed wing, the [[Army of Common Men]]. Operation Dendron decapitated the communist political leadership and left the party directionless however the cell structure of the ACM prevented most of its leaders from being found out and killed. Dendron marked the beginning of a bloody period of state terrorism as the government sought to crush the armed resistance of the ACM.
By mid-1993 the BSP had been given the directive to begin the repression of the [[Communist Party of Corumm]] and its armed wing, the [[Army of Common Men]] (ACM). Operation Dendron decapitated the communist political leadership and left the party directionless however the cell structure of the ACM prevented most of its leaders from being found out and killed. Dendron marked the beginning of a bloody period of state terrorism as the government sought to crush the armed resistance of the ACM by any means necessary. Tens of thousands of left-wing activists, students, journalists, writers and anyone suspected of sympathizing with the political left were imprisoned, tortured and killed. The ACM responded by unleashing a wave of terrorist bombings, hit and run attacks on military and police targets and targeting of government employees for reprisals.
