Alliance Intelligence (Eternal Alliance)

Eternal Alliance Intelligence, commonly referred to as Alliance Intelligence or just Alliance Intel, was the Eternal Alliance's department that handled matters of internal security, espionage, and information regarding Alliance operations ranging from diplomacy to warfare.

== Formation == When the Alliance formed, while more organized than most resistance's, such as the separatist movement on Ord Mantell, it was not necessary for dedicated resources other than the sectors of military, science, force matters, and underworld dealings. The majority of the Alliance against Zakuul's intelligence came from Theron Shan (who would later lead the department) and his agents within the Republic SIS, as well as Imperial-Alliance sympathizers from Lana Beniko, and contacts throughout the galaxy.

Intelligence was often working on how to disable and/or take the Eternal Fleet from the Emperor/Empress of Zakuul. Many efforts led to the discovery of pro-Alliance agents and valuable resources. A notable mission was the detection of a Hyperwave frequency under the Spire on Zakuul, which sent and received orders to and from the Eternal Fleet. While the mission was technically a failure, it did reveal information on GEMINI Prime, eventually leading to events that drastically changed the war.

Official Organization
After the Battle of Zakuul and birth of the Eternal Alliance, Theron Shan was named the Director of the new Alliance Intelligence. He, along with hundreds of new agents, would work under the Commander to aid the Alliance and its new life as a galactic superpower.

== First Operations == The first task of Alliance Intelligence was to combat a series of uprisings that threatened the stability of the Alliance and peace between it and the other powers of the galaxy. Their efforts stopped a number of incidents, such as a plan to bomb the Senate Building on Coruscant, as well as revealing anti-Alliance elements within the Republic and Empire. The uprisings stretched across the galaxy, leading to:
 * Gethul Investigation
 * Dust Vipers Incident
 * Commander Tassar's Star Fortress Revival Effort
 * Attempted Attack On The Republic Senate Tower
 * The White Maw Uprising
 * RS-33 Adrenal Incident

Later, it was given the duty of learning about the Republic and Empire and their motives on Iokath. On top of this, they searched across the galaxy for a traitor who attempted to murder the Commander.

Crisis on Umbara
Eventually, an anonymous source fed information to Intelligence that the traitor was on board an Umbaran supply train filled with Adegan crystals, a powerful stone used for lightsabers and other weapons. The Alliance Commander had little choice than to believe the source and moved in before Intelligence could confirm it, although Theron Shan gave his input and agreed to engage the train. The Commander, along with Theron and Lana Beniko, boarded the train.

After fighting through waves of Umbaran guards, the trio eventually reached the trains pilot. It was here that Director Shan opened fire, revealing himself to be the traitor. Injuring Lana and missing the Commander, Theron stated he was part of an effort to destroy the Alliance. He attempted to kill the two by locking them in the pilot and setting the train to crash. The Commander and Lana, who was virtually unharmed, escaped through a window before the crash.

While trying to catch Theron, he escaped via the shuttle they had arrived with. Once they returned to Odessen, the Commander sent a galaxy-wide message to Theron and ordered all Alliance forces to keep an eye out for him.

This is where Alliance Intelligence's most personal and toughest mission began:

Find ex-Director of Intelligence Theron Shan.

Aftermath
With Theron now an enemy of the state, Lana Beniko took over as the temporary director but didn't have all of the duties her predecessor previously had.
