The Commune - Silver Sun

[The Commune]

The Commune - Silver Sun

---

SYNOPSIS:

---

"When you stare at the blinding Light of the Sun, the Eye behind it stares back at you."

The Silver Sun Society (abbreviated. SS or S3) is an important organizational sub-division, or 'Cell' of the Commune specialized in gathering and analyzing intelligence, handling internal and external affairs, and performing covert operations. As a successor of the defunct 'Slithering Tongue' caste of the Samarran Raiders, the S3 agents operate with an unorthodox syncretism of cutting edge technology application and hardline devotion to Commune religious dogma.

ELABORATION:

---

"And where the Eye falls, the furious Angels of the Created God follow."

The Silver Sun was officially founded in 824 A.S, in an effort to conjoin and assimilate all Commune assets dealing with espionage, counter-intelligence, administration and diplomatic matters into one coherent body. As such, the Silver Sun acts as a multifaceted agency that keeps watch over both internal and external targets of interest, and applies solutions where neccessary. The agents, the bulk of which is comprised by 'Watchers' are carefully selected, usually from talented and unscrupulous individuals that have no qualms about doing whatever is neccessary to advance the Commune agenda.

Spreading propaganda, inciting unrest, attacking key figures with blackmail and psychological warfare is as much part of the mode of operation as careful nurturing of diplomatic relations and fostering of internal stability. Therefore, the Cell had to synthesize a very specialized set of protocols for its unique situation. For this task, Mankind's accumulated knowledge of social engineering and espionage tactics was intertwined with Nomad influences and the derived technologies.

The structure of the Silver Sun mirrors the structure of its sister Cells and the Commune as a whole, and is likewise organized into a tight hierarchical top-down structure, where orders and information travel down the grapevine in an intermediary fashion. This process is sped-up by thoughtform dissemination facilitated by the Neural Gestalt, with which the Overseer is in direct communion. The Overseer watches over and coordinates the Cell as a whole, alongside his close associate and deputy, the Spectre, who in turn frequently deals with and coordinates the lower echelons - the Emissaries and Watchers. Paracellular agents, who operate outside the structure and its constraints are rumored, but never confirmed to exist.

RANK DESCRIPTIONS:

---

Overseer - The Overseer is the leader of the Silver Sun, and one of the Commune's Triumvirate, in direct communion with the Neural Gestalt.

Spectre - The Spectre is an elite agent and the trusted deputy of the Overseer, positioned only slightly below in the pecking order, with clearance to virtually all assets and information.

Emissary - Emissaries are senior agents entrusted with complex tasks, which vary from long-term infiltration to crucial diplomatic missions, depending on the individual agent's specialization.

Watcher - Watchers are a seasoned, yet expendable selection of agents with low clearance levels. They are charged with performing the backbreaking labor and complete missions that when added up ultimately keeps the Cell functional.

Sleeper - Sleepers are the unproven operatives whose skills are yet to be tested before they are integrated into the Neural Gestalt and allowed In-Cell clearance.

RANK PROGRESSION AND DIRECTIVES:

---

It has been decided, due to the sensitive and free-form nature of the RP performed within this subsection of the faction, that all recruitment and progression be handled by OOC decisions based on the good judgement of the existing members. The abilities, behavior and the RP performed of the applicants and advancing members will be taken into account during this process. Completed missions from the board will add greatly to the decision.
