Information and Analysis (mu/mu)

Under the new organizational structure, Information and Analysis (IA) receives the greatest percentage of ROM's budget and resources after the Counter-intelligence Branch, reflecting the vital importance of its role. IA operatives stationed at every ComStar-run HPG facility screen all messages sent from and received by the stations for intelligence related to any aspect of the Inner Sphere's political and military situation. These agents send daily reports to IA headquarters on Terra, where IA experts analyze the raw data and feed their conclusions into a central processor that serves as the primary data store for the entire ROM computer network. Only by running this department at full capacity can ROM hope to keep up with, and perhaps anticipate, events.

The head of Information and Analysis, Demi-Precentor Lisa Morella, plans to upgrade the ComStar central processor using the advanced Clan computer hardware scavenged from the battlefields on Tukayyid. If installed and integrated successfully, the increased computer power will further increase ROM's ability to predict and react in a timely fashion to unfolding events throughout the Inner Sphere.
