BRINT

Intelligence Agency Definition

BRINT is the general term for planetary governmental intelligence agency in the universe of Space Opera. Their usage is similar to the CIA or MI6. BRINT is the intelligence-gathering agency of the StarForce. BRINT operatives can expect to operate in enemy territory as ‘spies’ and saboteurs, and may be required to organise and train resistance groups on planets Occupied by the enemy. BRINT agents also keep a close watch on the Bureau of State Security, whose agents are not part of the Military Establishment and evidence over-zealous Police State mentalities which the military authorities resent and deeply suspect—especially in democratic societies. In totalitarian regimes, BRINT is the implacable foe of BOSS and delights in confounding the incursions of BOSS into military affairs.
