Omega Grid
Omega Grid is an advanced communications system created and exclusively utilised by the Imperial Intelligence Service to coordinate its operations. It is a covert "dark-comms network" that is designed to prevent detection and interception by other parties. Until 3308, Omega Grid's existence was classified and known only to some members of Imperial Intelligence and the Imperial Internal Security Service.[1]
Captain Saskia Landau, a member of IISS and co-leader of the Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit, revealed Omega Grid to the public on January 4, 3308 after recognizing certain similarities to the dark-comms network that had been used by the Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army to carry out its terror attacks between 3306 and 3307. Landau asserted that a member of Imperial Intelligence may have given the NMLA access to Omega Grid.[1]
Timeline
04 JAN 3308
- A potential connection between the NMLA's dark-comms network and Imperial Intelligence has been made public by one of ACT's co-leaders. Captain Saskia Landau sent a personal statement to all major media outlets: "The majority of my career has been with the Imperial Internal Security Service, but I was seconded for a year to a classified project run by Imperial Intelligence. To coordinate their operations, they use a sophisticated communications system known as the Omega Grid. This is designed to avoid detection or interception by enemies of the Empire. I have reviewed ACT's research into the NMLA's dark-comms network and can verify its similarity to Omega Grid technology. Since this is exclusively under Imperial Intelligence's control, it suggests that an individual or group within the organisation was making it available to the NMLA. I'm aware that revealing this information publicly may end my career or even endanger my life. Nevertheless, I have shared my findings with ACT's leadership, and call upon the Imperial Senate to open an independent investigation into this evidence." As yet there has been no response from Imperial Intelligence or the Senate. However, several agents of the IISS have anonymously spoken to reporters from The Imperial Herald, verifying that the Omega Grid system does exist and has been in use for many years.[1]
