The Advenarum has many unique characteristics; it has no domestic law enforcement function, is primarily focused on overseas intelligence gathering, and is the only agency within the Caphirian government authorized by law to carry out and oversee covert action at the behest of the Imperator with carte blanche discretionary power. It exerts foreign political influence through its tactical divisions, such as [[Task Force VII]] and [[Division DCCLXXVII]]. | ||
The Advenarum has also provided support to many foreign political groups and governments, including planning, coordinating, training on torture, technical support, and was involved in several regime changes, terrorist attacks and planned assassinations of foreign leaders. Starting during the height of the Cold War, the Advenarum has increasingly expanded its role, including covert paramilitary operations. In 2011, the Advenarum began a partnership with [[Quicksilver Industries]] to create a highly secretive task force known as the Octoriantes, whose main function is for the "coordination, deconfliction, and evaluation of clandestine operations". | The Advenarum has also provided support to many foreign political groups and governments, including planning, coordinating, training on torture, technical support, and was involved in several regime changes, terrorist attacks and planned assassinations of foreign leaders.

In addition, the Advenarum maintains an internal and public list of "tasks of national security importance". The public tasks include researching and developing all the necessary information to defend the independence, integrity and security of Caphiria from threats from abroad, including in implementation of international agreements. The Advenarum also performs activities in the field of counter-proliferation of nuclear materials or materials found to be strategic, and information activities for security outside Caphirian territory, to protect Caphirian political, military, economic, scientific and industrial interests, as well as detecting outside the national territory espionage activities directed against Caphiria and activities aimed at damaging national interests. | In addition, the Advenarum maintains an internal and public list of "tasks of national security importance".

These functions include personnel, security, communications, and financial operations. Most of this Directorate is sub-structured into smaller divisions based on role and purpose, such as the Security Division, which is concerned both with personnel and physical security. Other major divisions include the Division of Communications and the Division of Information Technology. | ||
Originally, the Advenarum was made responsible not just for covert action during the cold war, but for such action during major wars. As a result, it became necessary to establish logistical support for these operations before the start of a conflict but politicians did not want to duplicate existing military support systems. The compromise was that the Advenarum should be able to draw, on a reimbursable basis, on military supply stocks. This evolved into the modern worldwide system of support bases, which usually could be tenant organizations on military bases. | Originally, the Advenarum was made responsible not just for covert action during the cold war, but for such action during major wars.
