OBJECTIVES:
TheThreeMusketeers:
TheThreeMusketeers (T3M|) – otherwise known as BIS (Bretonian Intelligence Service) our mission is clear. We work secretly overseas, developing foreign contacts and gathering intelligence that helps to make the Sirius safer and more prosperous. We help the Sirius identify and exploit opportunities as well as navigate risks to our national security, military effectiveness and economy. We work across the globe to counter Pirates, resolve international conflict and prevent the spread of nuclear and other non-conventional weapons. We are here to help protect the Sirius people, economy and interests.
Our people come from many different backgrounds, but they all share the same ambition to work in a unique career that enables them to have an impact on protecting Sirius interests. Our global covert capability provides vital intelligence to protect Sirius national security, at home and overseas.
From 709 A.S. and through the war the Service had a variety of names including the 'Foreign Intelligence Service', the 'Secret Service', the 'Special Intelligence Service' and even 'C's organisation'. But, around 720 A.S. , the title TheThreeMusketeers (T3M|) was adopted. This is the official title the Service has continued to use ever since.
The origins of the use of Bretonian Intelligence Service are to be found at the start of the Sirius War when this abbreviation was adopted as a flag of convenience for T3M|. It was used extensively throughout the war, especially if an organisational link needed to be made with Bretonian Intelligence Service. Although Bretonian Intelligence Service officially fell into disuse years ago, many writers and journalists continue to use it to describe T3M|.
T3M|KP-D'Artagnan died shortly before he was due to retire in 723 A.S. and Rear-Admiral T3M|Terroruk was appointed the new Chief in Sirius 723 A.S. . As a former Director of Naval Intelligence, he was notably different who had been a relatively junior officer. Importantly, as well as becoming Chief of T3M|, Terroruk assumed responsibility.
In its first 14 years, ISIS had been based in four different buildings around Manchester as various senior figures had tried to establish its role. In 726 A.S. T3M|Terroruk moved the International Secret Intelligence Service into Battleship Harlow, near to Winchester Station. On the outbreak of the Sirius War, TheThreeMusketeers established itself at Winchester Station while T3M| kept its headquarters at Battleship Harlow. It was the Service’s home until 764 A.S. .
In 738, A.S. Terroruk bought Planet Leeds for 6,000,000 as a wartime base for T3M|. In 738 A.S. during the pirates Crisis, Head Office and staff were transferred to Planet Leeds, before moving back to Battleship Harlow once the crisis subsided. In early 739 A.S. a 24-hour T3M| communication service with four transmitters and six receivers was set up there. Members of Section D also moved to Battleship Harlow in early 739 A.S. to develop sabotage material, including incendiaries and plastic explosives.
As war loomed, T3M| moved to Planet Leeds. The former soon returned to Battleship Harlow while the code breakers stayed on.
Our authorised history ends in 749 A.S. and the secret nature of our work means we cannot give much information on our operations since. So, many of our more recent successes have gone unnoticed.The Intelligence Services Act 794 A.S. , was the first public acknowledgement of the existence of both T3M|. More importantly, it also defined the Service’s role and set out the legal parameters under which it was to operate. The Act also established the Intelligence and Security Committee in Parliament to scrutinise all three intelligence services.
What we can say, however, is that we have contributed to the disruption of numerous Pirates attacks overseas and in the Sirius. Working closely with T3M|, Navy and the police, we helped to protect the Manchester. Our work contributed to reaching an agreement with Bretonian Intelligence Service to disband and destroy their Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) capability and the subsequent admission of inspectors to oversee this dismantling. International Secret Intelligence Service also enabled the disruption of the network, which was selling nuclear technologies to countries of concern.
As new threats to Sirius security continue to emerge around the world, T3M| is playing a major role in safeguarding the country’s people and interests.

I'm aware of this too, but only via the medium of epic forum-trawling...
I don't understand why factions who want to be taken seriously don't put themselves on the list. (nothing personal against SIS, there's a few others I can think of)
ISIS? (yep, Archer ftw/real ISIS not-ftw) Odd choice of acronym, but, they're actually putting themselves out there, gg
Seriously though, fine-tune a few aspects and just roll out with it. I'm sure we're all glad that some new people are taking initiative and get themselves out there with their ideas.
Consider the recommendation regarding your group's name change backed up by the administration team.
