Conflicts & Deployments

The Central Intelligence Department of Elwynn, also known as the Panopticon, is Elwynn's national intelligence service. It operates as a separated pillar from the Elwynnese Armed Forces, and reports directly to the Prince. The name of "Panopticon" derives from the principles explored by Babkhan penal reformers whereby a small group of prison guards would be able to watch all prisoners in the circular prison.

Structure

The CIDE is overseen by the Main Office, which has the responsibility for the coordination of all departments of the security apparatus within the Department. The Main Office is chaired by the Chief Director. The Chief Director is authorised to undertake whatever actions deemed appropriate for the security of the Republic and shall be granted immunity from prosecution for any actions undertaken in accordance with their role, subject to the discretion of the Court of the Prince. Under the Main Office are four lower offices, each with their separate director.

  • i. Office A: Internal Security
  • ii. Office B: Criminal Activities
  • iii. Office C: Counter Intelligence
  • iv. Office D: Identity, Moral Rearmament & Enlightenment of Elwdom

Aside from these standing offices, The Chief Director Panopticon Department (Main Office) may raise any ad hoc units and formations as he may deem appropriate for the fulfilment of the remit of the Panopticon Department.

Panopticon System

The Panopticon is a Babkhano-Elwynnese technological system designed to capture and process information in an improved manner that greatly enhances the battlefield commander's situational awareness, removes ambiguity - the notorious fog of war - and reduces the time taken for each step in the decision making cycle.

Each Panopticon Suite comprises a 'Targeted Surveillance Autonomous Radar System' that enables ground surveillance to develop an understanding of the enemy situation and to support attack operations and targeting that contributes to the delay, disruption and destruction of enemy forces.

The primary system is the dual-mode ES-27 Synthetic Aperture / Moving Target Indication (SAR/MTI) radar, known as 'Froyalan', which feeds, via secure fibre optic cables, into the optic nerve of the central processing unit.

Panopticon information captures are also exportable, via secure ES-26 VERITAS telex-relays, to command and control (C&C) and Electronic Warfare (EW) vehicles such as the Red Queen and Jackalope of Red Bear LLC and the ESB Horjin, providing up to the minute battlefield data for Imperial commanders and security experts..

The IRS Medusa and Elwynn Class Corvette were selected as a test bed for bio-mechanical integration, with integration into selected platforms was in progress during the 1650s.
