The term "New Alexandrian Intelligence Community" (NAIC) denotes an intricate and extensive network of intelligence agencies, offices, and organizations, both governmental and private, within the Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie. Functioning in a labyrinthine synergy, these entities jointly and individually execute intelligence operations, supporting the policy objectives and bolstering the national security of the Federation.
The NAIC's composition is a diverse and varied tapestry of entities, each with its distinctive roles, responsibilities, and jurisdictions, spanning military, diplomatic, and domestic realms. Owing to its multifaceted nature, the supervision of the NAIC falls within the purview of three federal executive departments: the Department of Defense, the Department of State, and the Department of Interior. This tripartite oversight adds layers of complexity to the already intricate structure of the NAIC.
The NAIC's creation was not orchestrated through a singular piece of legislation or regulation. Instead, its existence is rooted in an ad hoc conglomeration of agencies and organizations. Many of these entities predate the establishment of the Federation in 1685 AN, originating from the founding Regions of the Federation, Alduria and the Wechua Nation. The NAIC's evolution has been organic, responding to the changing dynamics of national and international security.
A noteworthy feature of the NAIC is the significant role played by private contractors. Renowned firms such as Javelin Industries, Sarbanes-Lopez CyberSecurity, Alexandrian Analytical Solutions, Lyrica Defense Technologies, and Orion Risk Management contribute their expertise to the community. These private entities offer a diverse range of services, from cybersecurity and data analytics to advanced surveillance technologies and risk management, further enhancing the capabilities of the NAIC. The Security Directorate of the Honourable Company is also known to periodically share intelligence digests, collated from reports provided by residents in ports throughout Apollonia, Eura, and Keltia, with the NAIC. These collaborations between public and private entities underscore the comprehensive and multifaceted nature of the New Alexandrian intelligence community.
Navigating the intricate labyrinth that is the NAIC is no small feat. Its ad hoc nature, combined with the overlapping jurisdictions and mixed lines of responsibility, has led to communication breakdowns and intelligence lapses, often with significant implications. These structural complexities have been implicated in multiple past intelligence failures, underscoring the need for systemic reforms.
