[Mist]

 

Ministry of Paranormal Warfare 

The top dogs of Psychics within the Federation. They represent the most experinced psychics and report directly to SICON. At this level, very few personnel are involved, and their role is directing Psychic policy across the Federation. MPW is led by a single sitting minister, currently Carl Jenkins who has held the position for several decades. Rarely are they involved in any operations, although a vested interest is held by the Ministry of Paranormal Warfare into Psychic Xenobiology, alongside Paranormal Phenomena that occurs.

 

PSYOPS

PSYOPs is a small core of officers who belong directly to military intelligence and report directly to the Ministry of Paranormal Warfare. They offer direct advisement for the Mobile Infantry and OSW. Rarely do PSYOPs deploy, but they are occasionally tasked with investigating the matters MPW finds interest in. They are a rare sight across the Federation, and are fiercely loyal to its cause, those within represent decades of collected experience

 

Mobile Infantry Psychic Operations Detachment 

 

Often shortened to MIPOD, and its members referred to as paddies MIPOD provides the bulk of combat services for Federation assets. It is an organization maintained underneath the Mobile Infantry, they first and foremost possess jurisdiction. They are organized like any other support division the Federation maintains and are the most numerous psychic organization.

 

While the M.I have jurisdiction over them oversight is provided by PSYOPs who offer advisement on how to utilize these detachments and are assigned to supervise. Roles in M.I.P.O.D vary wildly, some are pure combatants who specialize in the offensive use of psychics, others are psychologists who are adept at comforting the troubled mind; Regardless of role, all are expected to fight.

 

 

Office of Special Services

 

The Office of Special Services provides a handful of niche tasks for the Federation, thus the name of Special Services. It's mostly made up of the more obscure psychic classifications who are less useful in a combat role; Luckymen, Sensors and Memory Men. They liaison from OSS to a variety of branches to provide their services; Fleet primarily makes good use of OSS. With memory men being particularly adept at calculating flight paths and sensors helping navigate through uncharted space.

 

After the annihilation of Pathfinder Psychics from their organization following Op. Clean Sweep, the Office of Special Warfare has taken to requesting physically capable psychics from the OSS. 

 

The last service they provide is mostly menial. Many psychics who are cusping on retirement, but are unable to be let go by the Federation under the agreed Oath of The Federation are instead are transferred into the noncombatant roles of OSS. Clerks, astronavigation, civil law.
