Naval Intelligence Office

Occasionally, a NIO Agent would be placed aboard a warship

In reaction to the fallout from the Blitzkrieg of 14 ABY, the Office intensified their requests for dedicated intelligence-gathering vessels. What vessels they had were either too small or not equipped to adequately perform the tasks the Office were seeking to accomplish. To address these concerns, a half dozen cutters were constructed and outfitted by the Krittish to augment the few Lightning-class sloops in NIO's inventory. In addition, a single Shearwater-class cruiser, CMS Anubis, was completely outfitted for the Office's purposes in late 14 ABY. The crew is a mixture of Naval, NIO, and Crest personnel, and the exact manifest and bill are completely undisclosed.
