CURRENT INTELLIGENCE The Orion Syndicate are a thorn in the side of Starfleet, but have no known political affiliations. The Syndicate is a very secretive organization which has always been known to deal/trade in information. Unlike other similar organizations, the Orion Syndicate never deals in "material" such as weapons, ships, etc. They see the information of an item to be more valuable than the item itself as it can be moved without any problems. The Syndicate has been established as collecting data and information from every possible sources including Starfleet and all other major powers alike - it is guessed that somewhere in their network, someone knows what each member of a planet, starship or starbase loves to have for breakfast, how often they eat it, and how many times they blink. The idea is that the Organization believes that any piece of knowledge can prove to be useful or profitable at some point in time. Their organisation is divided into cells. Each cell has a leader who is responsible for a group of a dozen operatives. Every cell leader has a contact who they report to. It enables the Syndicate to remain intact, even when several cells are destroyed by security personal, the remaining cells are safe. The Orion Syndicate tends to run large cities on planets outside of Federation space, but there are also operatives firmly entrenched on Federation soil. There have been minor rackets found on Earth. The Orion Syndicate are in short, everywhere. They mainly operate out of establishments that cater to the undesirables, though the more sophisticated units work out of first class accommodation. Either way, the Orion Syndicate is known for covering their backs. Witnesses, undercover intelligence and security operatives and moles go missing without explanation. And the Syndicate isn't above using its members families as a way to ensure loyalty. In general, the Orion Syndicate is far more secretive then violent and always cloak itself in an extensive web of lies, disinformation and false leads. The current leader of this organisation is as yet unknown.
