This division plays a critical role in national security, gathering intelligence on potential threats and acting swiftly to neutralize them. Working closely with international counterparts and domestic agencies, they maintain a constant vigil against extremist activities, ensuring Caphiria remains a step ahead of potential terror plots.
Dedicated to safeguarding the security interests of the Imperium, the Intelligence Cohort dives deep into the shadowy world of espionage, counterintelligence, and information warfare. Their purview isn't just restricted to domestic threats; they span across international borders, gathering insights, decoding intentions, and staying ahead in the intelligence game. Below are the specialized units and their functionalities:
 
* Human Intelligence (HUMINT) Wing: Focusing on the oldest and most direct form of intelligence, this wing involves agents gathering information through interpersonal contacts and networks. They might work undercover, recruit informants, or negotiate for information.
* Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Unit: Concentrating on electronic signals, this unit captures and analyzes communication between foreign entities, radar signals, and other electronic emissions. It's a goldmine of real-time intelligence, critical to national security.
* Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Division: With the proliferation of information in the digital age, this division trawls through publicly available sources - media, internet, publications - to glean strategic insights.
* Counterintelligence Bureau: Tasked with detecting and countering threats from foreign intelligence entities, this bureau works relentlessly to neutralize espionage threats and prevent security breaches. They identify moles, thwart espionage attempts, and safeguard critical state secrets.
* Technical Intelligence (TECHINT) Team: This team evaluates technological artifacts, recovered devices, and machinery to glean intelligence. Whether it's a captured drone or a confiscated communication device, they reverse engineer and extract invaluable data.
* Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) Unit: Utilizing satellite imagery, aerial reconnaissance, and geospatial data, this unit maps out terrains, tracks troop movements, and monitors infrastructure developments.
* Cyber Espionage and Countermeasures Division: Working closely with the Cybercrime Cohort, this division focuses on cyber threats with a geopolitical angle. They penetrate foreign networks, gather digital intelligence, and defend against state-sponsored cyber-attacks.


=== Special Operations Cohort ===

Trained to handle high-risk and high-stake situations, this division houses elite teams such as SWAT, Hostage Rescue, and Counter-Sniper units. Whether it's a volatile hostage situation, a potential bombing, or a high-profile raid, the Special Ops Division is the go-to force for immediate, expert action.
The Special Operations Cohort is trained to handle high-risk and high-stake situations. Highly trained, exceedingly versatile, and fiercely dedicated, members of this Cohort are prepared to handle the most challenging and sensitive missions that regular forces might not be equipped for. Below are the specialized units and their functionalities within the SOC:
 
* Direct Action Teams (DAT): These units specialize in swift and decisive strikes, targeting high-value individuals, sabotage, and other surgical strike missions. Whether it's a precision raid against a fortified enemy compound or an ambush in hostile territory, DATs deliver results with surgical precision.
* Hostage Rescue and Counter-Terrorism Unit (HRCTU): This elite unit is trained to respond to hostage situations, hijackings, and terror threats. Their operations demand rapid response, intricate planning, and flawless execution to save lives and neutralize threats.
* Special Reconnaissance (SR) Division: Operating covertly behind enemy lines, the SR teams gather critical intelligence, conduct surveillance, and scout locations in preparation for larger-scale operations. They often function unseen, laying the groundwork for future missions.
* Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR): When pilots or agents are downed in hostile territory, it's the CSAR's duty to retrieve them. Trained in trauma care, survival skills, and evasion, they ensure no one is left behind.
* High-Altitude Low-Opening (HALO) and High-Altitude High-Opening (HAHO) Jump Teams: Expert paratroopers trained to jump from aircraft at high altitudes, these teams can infiltrate enemy territories undetected, often parachuting into combat zones or behind enemy lines.
* Urban Combat and Close Quarters Battle (CQB) Unit: In the complex and unpredictable environment of urban warfare, this unit specializes in building clearances, tunnel warfare, and street-to-street combat.
* Linguistic and Cultural Integration Teams: These agents are fluent in multiple languages and well-versed in various cultures, aiding the Cohort in negotiations, intel gathering, and ensuring smooth interactions in foreign territories.
* Operational Logistics and Support Division: Every successful mission rests on a foundation of robust logistical support. This division ensures that the SOC units have the resources, equipment, and transportation they need, often under challenging conditions.
