The Intelligence Committee

The Intelligence Committee (TIC) is the information gathering arm of UPC. TIC operatives and moles are embedded in organizations throughout the sector. Some are sympathetic to the cause while others have been "recruited" through blackmail, bribes, and the threat of violence.

TIC has no agenda and is studiously neutral. Although its operatives tend to be of a more practical bent than many of the more philosophical members. Amongst themselves operatives will sometimes derisively refer to other UPC members prone to philosophizing as "sophies".
