| *'''Main Responsibility:''' The gathering of information on advarsaries of Starfleet, or in regards to the current mission | | {{LCARS Section Heading|Table of Contents|LightSteelBlue}} |
| *'''Other Responsibilities:''' Should be able to perform any duty assigned, and must have at least minimal skill in all other key areas of operation (helm, comm, ops, etc.) | | * [[Intelligence Officer Simming Guide/Becoming Agent X|'''1.0 Becoming Agent X''']] |
| | | **1.1 Character Background Tips |
| * Intelligence operatives duties are primarily to engage in intel gathering activites regarding any mission they be assigned to. Using personal contacts, espionage, stealth, subterfuge or negotiation are some of the ways this can be accomplished. Although violence is sometimes unavoidable, it is not stricken from means of gathering intel. It should be used as a last resort. | | **1.2 Duty Post - Intelligence Officer |
| *Intelligence officers are generally required to obtain classified and top secret clearances upon their appointment to a vessel. Orders from Starfleet Intelligence will often come with a clearance level, and the appropriate means must be secured. | | **1.3 A Quick Note On SFI |
| *Close knit cooperation with an Operative's CO must be taken into account, as SFI DOES NOT superceed the Captain's authority. Due regard should be given to orders from SFI, and conversely, orders that may violate Starfleet Regulations should be reported to the proper channels. | | * [[Intelligence Officer Simming Guide/Types of Intelligence|'''2.0 Types of Intelligence''']] |
| *Although not required, a secure workspace should be provided to an Operative aboard a vessel (i.e and Intel lab) | | **2.1 SENINT - Sentient Intelligence |

| * There should not be a reference to Section 31 (see Sect.31 below) | | ***2.2.2 COMINT - Communications Intelligence |
| * The officer first answers to the ship’s CO, then SFI (not the other way around). | | ***2.2.3 ELINT - Electronic Intelligence |

| ==Before the Mission==
| | **3.2 Collection |
| | | ***3.2.1 Coding Data |
| | | **3.3 Processing |
| ==During the Mission==
| | ***3.3.1 Characteristics of Effective Intelligence |
| *All matters pertaining to intelligence, such as species that are on the watch list, or encounters with thereof, should be documented with the proper coding and security to be reported to SFI. Information sharing with your CO is permitted, and is often at the discretion of the operative. A close knit line of communication between operatives and their CO's is crucial to a smooth and working relationship aboard a vessel. | | **3.4 Analysis and Production |
| *All actions that may include force or use of stealth should be a joint effort between the operative and the CO, and should also include a member from Security when the discussion arises. Making sure our operations are conducted ethically from a Starfleet perspective is just one way to cut down on the need for "plausible deniability". | | ***3.4.1 Organizing What You Have |
| ** Any action that may be percieved as unauthorized can be punished by Starfleet Disciplinary codes, and plausible deniability may be rendered on the offending operative. | | **3.5 Dissemination |
| | | **3.6 Feedback |
| ==After the Mission==
| | * [[Intelligence Officer Simming Guide/Counterintelligence|'''4.0 Counterintelligence''']] |
| | | **4.1 Categories of Counterintelligence |
| | |
| ==Away Missions==
| |
| * The Operative may typically act as a security or tactical officer until their expertise is needed. Before entering into a solo operation (espionage), the operative should seek approval from his XO or CO before embarking. | |
| ** Is skilled in many forms of combat and stealth. | |

| ==The Section 31 Factor==
| |
| | |
| Canon source divides Section 31 from SFI, although there is an ongoing debate whether the two groups are separate or Sect.31 falls into a section of the branch SFI can officially claim “plausible deniability” on some of the nastier aspects of Field operatives.
| |
| | |
| In the UFOP, Section 31 has never been used. It’s proper section is Field Operations and should not be treated any differently.
