Intelligence Agencies
Espionage is another profession of the fringes of known space. Those who are involved in this area of the private sector are the Satharians, the UPF, Star Law Department Two, and even the Mega-Corporations.
Since the end of the last three Satharian Wars the Sathar have gone to more unique techniques to crumble the Frontier sector. Using their espionage agents the Sathar are able to recruit humans, vrusk, yazarians, and even dralasites to help them fight small dirty wars. Using Guerilla Warfare and plenty of explosives these groups help sabotage key UPF and mega-coporation operations. The satharian agents captured automatically kill themselves with some unknown agent. This makes them very deadly are even harder to get information out of them.
The UPF is famous for their disposable heroes known as the UPF Intelligence Agency. Many have seen what this organization can do. They specialize in counter-espionage and even in espionage. This organization is not allowed inside the Frontier borders but actually outside the "fringes" of known space (actually right on the border). Those who have been involved with UPF governement black budget meetings know that the UPF Intelligence Agency is funded by the funds ment for military purposes. What many dont know is what they are required to do in order to keep the UPF borders from falling to the Satharian invasion forces.
Unlike the main Star Law departments, Star Law Deparment Two is very unique. It comprises of ex-UPF Special Forces and even retired corporate mercenaries. Also this police force mainly works in counter-espionage and espionage. They are only permited inside the Frontier UPF political boundaries only if they are working on capturing Satharian sympathyzers or even those who are getting some kind of collaboration out of the Sathar to insight lawlessness inside the UPF infrastructure. This organization doesnt have to work with the protocals of the Star Law police but more on the terms of military and intelligence agencies.
By law a mega-corporation cant part take in espionage (due to UPF security issues). But who hasn't seen it. Some corporations are actually hired as "contracted" espionage. These corporations work for Star Law or the UPF directly. But there are a handful that actually are excepted by those contracting espionage agents. Corporations such as PanGal are considered out of the picture due to their extreme size and the massive amounts of leaked secrets. Smaller more trusted and easy to watch corporations are contraced. Corporations such as Alpha Eagle or Dark Nebula are famous for having contracting services for both spies for hire and mercs. But other corporations fund secret branches to spy on other corporations and sometimes even sabotage their efforts to help open contracts. It is also known that any corporate employees that have ties to such branches are either ex-UPF military or war criminals who helped the Satharian invasions during the first and second Satharian Wars.
