Discovery Dead Factions Overhaul: Idea 1 - Intelligence Factions

[Black Widow]

So I have decided to start a series of discussions to try and get some of our currently dead factions pumped back to life with giving them new objectives and things to do inRP to keep them busy.

At present Intelligence Factions dont really have much to do aside from assisting their military allies in defending against pirates, enemy capitals etc. There is not much else to do.

Now I feel that Discovery has over complicated the RP Scene with far too many possibilities about what kind of char you can play without providing suitable foundation for the rp opportunities / gameplay these chars may partake in, in order to fulfill their char.

Like the intelligence factions dont seem to have much things to do.

As a suggestion maybe plunge intelligence rp into new depths with parallels to the real world.

We all know the world of cold war espionage was filled with agents engaging in deadly missions within enemy or even allied territory.

Intelligence in itself is a dirty world full of danger, intrigue and nothing is for certain, your end could come at anytime. With common goals intelligence factions could even go head-to-head against each other in order to achieve an objective.

So why dont we give intelligence factions some kind of commodity to fight over / control. Change the rules around the terms of engagement between intelligence factions where by they could engage eachother much more easily if RP condiitons justify it.

I imagine the BIS and LSF fighting BDM and KNI in the omicrons over alien technology.

Of course said engagements would not affect current house relations as said houses would disawow any knowledge of these operations.

What do you think?
