-Similar to the more famous Intelligence Agencies of the past such as the CIA, KGB and MI6 (or SIS) the role of StarFleet Intelligence (SFI) is to provide the Federation with a galactic covert capability to promote and defend the security and well-being of the Federation and it's member worlds.
+At its core, '''Starfleet Intelligence''' is similar to the more famous intelligence agencies of the past such as the CIA, KGB and MI6 (or SIS) the role of StarFleet Intelligence (SFI) is to provide the Federation with a galactic covert capability to promote and defend the security and well-being of the Federation and it's member worlds.
 Hierarchically, StarFleet Intelligence maintains a central headquarters on Earth, where senior officers oversee the broad Intelligence mission. The vast majority of Intelligence work, however, is done by the field units, found throughout the Federation. Many field units may be grouped together into a taskforce.
-Ultimately, an Intelligence unit is made up of a number of different sections, all with section leaders who report to their Unit Director, who in turn reports to any applicable Taskforce Head, who in turn reports to their designated contact at Intel HQ. A Director may also be required to pass on relevant mission related data to the ranking StarFleet Officer (who in turn reports to their Flag Officer) at their local site. While the work that SFI does is generally inclusive, the end result can have far reaching consequences.
+==Organization==
+Whether on a starbase, a planet, or on a starship, the structure of an Intelligence Division remains the same.
+* '''Intelligence Officer''': at the bottom of the totem pole, is the Intelligence Officer. The Intelligence Officer is the bare-bones of any intelligence operation, specializing in either communications intelligence, human intelligence, or intelligence analysis.
+** A '''Communications Intelligence Operator''' (or COMINT for short) would be stationed at the operational command centre, receiving and interpreting intelligence and relaying it to his or her section leader.
+** The '''Human Intelligence Operator'' (or HUMINT for short) is generally the person gathering intelligence in the field or providing overwatch for security and other intelligence operators; this position entails: the collection of intelligence from behind enemy lines through interpersonal contact, counter-intelligence, and infiltration and extraction
+** An '''Intelligence Analyst'' is an officer who receives intelligence from COMINT or HUMINT sources and extracts the information containing operational relevance in order to formulate a plan of action, or to predict future events. Intelligence analysts are the unit’s professionals whose research, analysis, and presentation of findings provide the most complete possible intelligence picture.
+* '''Section Leader''': Sometimes called Deputy Directors, Section Leaders are the senior most Intelligence Officers on board a ship or space station and report directly to the commanding officer. Their job is to receive either raw information from COMINT or HUMINT sources, or to receive intelligence reports and analysis from analysts. The Section Leader then relays this information to the Commander Officer, or Operation Commander, depending on the location and context, in a perspicuous manner.
