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 Daxiaese Democrats]] renamed the commission, exponentially increased its funding 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 curricula was modified to include PCD ideology and most notably a book written by Linge Chen, the Management of Brutality. The changes in training and the influx of ideologically motivated agents into the organization resulted in a more ruthless approach being used on security matters as exemplified by one of its more notorious 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.

===War on the Left===
By mid-1993 the BSP had been given the directive to begin the repression of the [[Communist Party of Daxia]] (CPC) 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. This operation also had the secondary effect of rendering the CPC and the political path almost irrelevant in the conflict to come. 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. Hundreds 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 killing of government employees as reprisals. Increasing efficiency in intel gathering on the ACM resulted in the design and implementation of Operation Eschaton, which succeeded in killing hundreds of leadership figures all across the country.

*'''Operation Eschaton''' - The targeted killing of leadership cadres of the [[Army of Common Men]] beginning in May 1995. The killings mostly took the form of car bombs, poisoning and in at least five instances with a remotely controlled machine gun. The operation lasted approximately two years and its success was a necessary precondition for the later Operation Maniphage. During Eschaton approximately 430 people were asassinated.

*'''Operation Maniphage''' - The gradual infiltration of the leadership ranks of the [[Army of Common Men]]. In the months before the start of Operation Eschaton, BSP agents joined the ACM as low level operatives. The BSP's targeted decimation of the leadership forced the ACM to progressively rely on newer but apparently loyal members to fill the yawning gaps in the organization. By late 1996 seven out of the ten members of the ACM's Directorate were BSP infiltrators. The new leadership proceeded to direct the ACM into even more radical actions, especially against civilians. This caused whatever popular support it still had, to completely collapse by 1998.

*'''Operation Alecto''' - The targeted killing of seven members of a cell of the Acirian backed NGO Free Daxiaese Movement for their involvement in illegal smuggling of Daxiaese nationals. After installing a device to automatically spread a nerve agent in their office, five of the seven died on the spot while the other two were taken to a local hospital. These survivors were later abducted and taken to Daxia were they were put on trial.
