Rank Breakdown:
The Director of the First Order Security Bureau is the head of the entire organization. Their purview encompasses the bureau as a whole, though the director isn't typically involved in all operations and thus is assisted by three deputy directors. The Director of the First Order Security Bureau also holds a position on the Moff Council as head of the Ministry of Security.
Deputy Directors run much of the day-to-day operations of the bureau, each in charge of their own directorate. The Intelligence Directorate is responsible for intelligence analysis, counterintelligence, and cyberwarfare. The Operations Directorate is tasked with most of the field work - intelligence gathering and espionage. The Directorate of Public Affairs is responsible for propaganda and re-education. Though the directorates are separate and independent, they often rely on each other to carry out their own mission.
The Chiefs are the commanding operatives within the Security Bureau. These Agents have not only performed their duties to a high rate of success, they have also exhibited leadership capabilities. A Station Chief serves as the Commanding Officer while conducting field operations. They lead covert operations behind enemy lines, surveying the opposition, and initiating counter-efforts. A Bureau Chief, on the other hand, serves as a commander of outposts spread throughout First Order space. They may lead development projects, serve as diplomatic envoys, or head interrogation efforts of captured dissidents.
Special Agents have demonstrated an aptitude for a particular set of skills over the course of their time with the Bureau or independently. An Agent could excel in Media, Cryptology, Tech, Interrogation, Surveillance, Counterintelligence, Infiltration, Destabilization, Assassination, Investigation, Enforcement, Re-education or any combination of these disciplines. After dedicating time to perfecting one or more, the Bureau will recognize an Agent for their efforts with the promotion. Though still often required to perform auxiliary duties, any assignment falling within a Special Agent's expertise will give them rank over any Agent assigned to the same task.
{If your character has prior experience to joining the FOSB, they may begin at this rank.}
Agents are the backbone of the bureau. These fresh recruits, prospects, and academy graduates have been placed into their first assignments with the Bureau. They have yet to realize their full potential. Nonetheless, they are all skilled and will receive a wide variety of requests from higher ups within the organization. An Agent could be working developing tech in an office one day and participating in an infiltration operation the next. Much is expected of the many Agents of the First Order Security Bureau.
{It is recommended that all newly minted Intel characters begin their climb at the Agent rank, even if they already specialize in an area. This way, their role in the majority of threads will be diversified. The promotion to Special Agent will occur within a rather small number of threads (no more than 5 unless the writer desires further development time.}
