fromSpecial Operations Executive (a.k.a. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare)
(a secret dossier within the Admiralty and tip-top secret, although that chap in the mess-hall named Freddie Frobisher read my copy while I was buttering my scone. He had round eyes, and therefore is obviously not an enemy spy)
The SOE was formed from the merger of three existing secret departments, which had been formed during the Tau War.
1) Immediately after the invasion of Upper Leeds, the Foreign Office created a propaganda organisation known as DWRFSMRATEP (acronym for Department With Responsibility For Spreading Malicious Rumours About The Emperor's Parentage), run by elements of Intelligence.
2) Intelligence later formed a section to investigate the use of sabotage, propaganda and other irregular means to weaken an enemy. This group was comprised primarily of elements of the scattered Preventitive Squadron.
3) The War Office planted yours truly within Stuart's Privateers for the purpose of research into guerrilla warfare, with my command initially limited to re-fitted trade vessels, posing as workaday pirates and privateers.
