Federation Office Division 7

D7 is an intelligence agency serving the United Earth System Federation, they function as an internal security organisation as well as a foreign intelligence service.

Overview
Originally formed as a security organisation to ensure internal safety of the United Earth System Federation, D7 does not boast a large military strength like the Peacekeepers and Arclight but has a huge intelligence network to make use of.

Functions
As an intelligence organisation D7 runs an extensive network of agents and observers, not only extending around the globe but reaching out to the entirety of the UES interplanetary colonies. D7 first saw action during the Insurrection where it was key in providing the Peacekeepers with vital reports of enemy movement as well as counter intelligence. After the successful aid of D7 the Insurrection was ended and dismantled and D7 returned to maintaining internal security until the Echeleon onset. As a civilian organisation D7 is also responsible for preventing corruption within the militaries tasked with protecting the UESF.

D7 specialises in behind the scenes actions, intelligence gathering, counter intelligence, sabotage and assassination. A vast network of agents and observational satellites are available to D7, allowing rapid communication and data gathering.

Assets
While the Peacekeepers and Arclight have large mobile suits divisions to use, D7 does not rely hugely on suits and more on people and a smaller fleet of specialised vehicles. Agents are also trained to use various items of field equipment for their assignments. During large operations D7 can make use of specialised air force, these include custom-built VTOL craft, chinook carriers and other operational vehicles. For space operations the agency uses Normandy-class ships, high speed cruisers built for reconnaissance and stealth and only carry a minimal complement of mobile suits. The majority of the mobile suits used by D7 are built for stealth operations.
