Galactic Alliance Intelligence and Security Command

The Galactic Alliance Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) comprised the collective agencies of the Galactic Alliance intelligence community and was one of the armed services of the Galactic Alliance Defense Force. Reporting directly to the Chief of State and the Supreme Commander of the Alliance Defense Force, the Intelligence and Security Command constituted the combined intelligence-gathering apparatus of the Galactic Alliance. Its principal responsibilities were two-fold: (1) to collect military and political intelligence on foreign states and organizations and (2) to assure the internal security of the Galactic Alliance by monitoring domestic intelligence and defending against internal threats (e.g., civil unrest or even insurgency). Constitutionally, the Intelligence and Security Command was overseen by the Security and Intelligence Council, which reported on its activities to the Galactic Alliance Senate.
