Common Core:MI13
This page is a part of the Common Core lore project.
Common Core is /tg/station's open source lore project. |
A shadowy organisation dealing in intelligence, secrets, and covert operations, nobody is quite sure what MI13 truly is- not even the Syndicate, to whom they lend their support.
Those Who Lurk in the Shadows
MI13 is an riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. The organisation manages to maintain total secrecy in their dealings with the Syndicate, making even divining basic facts about them nearly impossible. All that is known about them is that they are an intelligence agency of some kind, possibly related to one of Earth's governments, or even TerraGov itself, and that they have, for reasons unknown to everyone but MI13, pledged support to the Syndicate against Nanotrasen. In fact, nobody had heard much about them before the formation of the Syndicate, leading some to believe they are a cover organisation for another entity. Regardless of their true nature, their intelligence is always accurate, so they have become invaluable to the Syndicate's actions.
Operatives working under MI13 are not given the details of their employer. They never meet the person sending them orders. They don't know any more about the true organisation they work under than other members of the Syndicate, or even Nanotrasen.
MI13 in 2564
MI13 continues to support the Syndicate against Nanotrasen, giving crucial intel for operations, while maintaining their shroud of secrecy. Interestingly, and unknown to the Syndicate, Nanotrasen has also began receiving accurate intelligence reports from another intelligence agency going under the name "GDI". These reports are sporadic and tend to give clues into Syndicate operations, including having allowed Nanotrasen to know about several attacks before they even arrived.
