SPARTA
Omni-Tek Department S1
Mission statement:
To ensure the security of the Omni-Tek Corporation of Rubi-Ka against all threats, internal or external.
Who are we?:
Department S1 (or SPARTA) is Omni-Tek's 'security-intelligence' department. Its function is to ensure company security from internal and external threats such as terrorism, espionage and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, to safeguard its economic well-being from the anti-competitive actions of corporate rivals, and to act in support of the various law enforcement departments in the prevention and detection of serious crime.
[insert Bonefish note: 'serious crime' in this sense refers to assisting 'Pol' operations in such matters as anti-terrorism etc]
SPARTA's key responsibility is for 'security-intelligence' work, which is defined as; collecting and disseminating intelligence; investigating and assessing threats, and working with others to counter them; advising on protection, and providing effective support for those tasks; and where necessary conducting operations independently of support, to further the company’s security interests as the director's office sees fit.
In addition, the department provides security advice and intelligence briefings directly to the CEO’s office to help reduce the company’s vulnerability to all threats. An Omni-InternOps affiliate, SPARTA serves, supports and enforces the direct orders of the CEO's office with unquestioning loyalty.
The department's core officers began arriving on-world 8th September 29475 carrying orders from the Omni-Tek Corporation on Omni Prime to form Department S1 and undertake the above mission.
In February 29476 SPARTA became one of the founding members of
(and the initiating driving force behind) the
Omni-Tek Security Council (OTSEC).
Who are we?: (OOC)
SPARTA operates a 100% in-character role-playing policy. This means we play 'in-character' every moment we are in-game, living our character's lives, occupation, personal lives, and everything that goes with them without slipping 'out of character' at any time.
We use a rather unique style of 'free-form' role-play, without GM control. Our stories, events, plots and sub-plots are either run by select players who know just enough of the plot to carry it along, or by the character at the centre of the role-play, or (usually) by events in-game such as the actions of other organisations, individuals, or members of the ARK Events Team. This role-playing depth ranges from small insignificant subjects, right up to some that are part of the main AO storyline.
