Before the Mission
During the Mission
- 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.
- 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".
- 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.
After the Mission
- Official debrief reports should be filed to BLACKNET located in the Intelligence Forums
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.
