Imperial Navy Investigative Service

=Imperial Imperial Navy Investigative Service= The Drakon Imperium Imperial Navy Investigative Service (INIS) is the primary security, counter-intelligence, counter-terrorism, and law enforcement agency of the Drakon Imperium Ministry of the Imperial Navy.

Roughly half of the INIS employees are civilian special agents who are trained to carry out a wide variety of assignments at locations across the imperium. INIS special agents are armed imperial law enforcement investigators, who frequently coordinate with other D.I. government agencies. INIS special agents are supported by analysts and other experts skilled in disciplines such as forensics, surveillance, surveillance countermeasures, computer investigations, physical security, and polygraph examinations.

Special Agents Afloat
The Special Agent Afloat Program of INIS sends INIS Special Agents aboard D.I. carriers and other ships (e.g. Hospital Ships, Ground Assault ships). The purpose of the program is to provide professional investigative, counterintelligence, and force protection support to deployed Imperial Navy commanders. These special agents are assigned to carriers and other deployed major combatants. Their environment can best be described as a "floating city." The assignment offers many of the same investigative challenges found by any criminal investigator working in a metropolitan city. A special agent assigned to a carrier must be skilled in general criminal investigations including: crime scene examination, expert interview techniques, and use of proactive law enforcement procedures to stop criminal activity before it occurs. The special agent afloat also provides guidance on foreign counterintelligence matters, including terrorism. It is also the mission of the special agent afloat to offer Imperial Navy leadership advice and operational support on security issues which might threaten the safety of ships, personnel and resources.

Armaments
INIS's standard issue sidearm is the Model-7 Poloron Pistol and most also carry a duranium-neutronium allow utility knife.
