The Special Intelligence Service or SIS was the Manticoran civilian intelligence service, responsible for foreign intelligence and espionage.
Equivalent to the Havenite Foreign Intelligence Service, SIS was created sometime before 1541 PD[1]. Codenamed Delphi at the time of its creation, it occupied Room 2021 between the eighteenth and twenty-second floor of the Admiralty Building. (CS1,MA3)
While the Office of Naval Intelligence focused on military intelligence, the SIS focused on diplomatic, political, and economic information, using espionage as needed. (HH7)
In 20th Century PD, SIS was led by Barton Salgado until his death in the Beowulf Strike. In 1923, Charles O'Daley was replaced him. (HH14,CS4)
