The Office of State Security (commonly referred to as the OSS) is an intelligence agency of the Union of Midway. It is an executive agency, and reports directly to the Minister of Intelligence. It's operations are largely conducted by non-military commissioned civilian intelligence agencies. While it's agents are trained to avoid tactical situations, it trains it's agents in Chinese martial arts and provides them with firearms training in case a tactical situation arises. The OSS has also been known to sometimes engage in tactical and covert operations if it is deemed necessary or at request of the Emperor and President of the Union of Midway. More often than not, such tactical operations will be conducted by Division Alpha of the Armed Forces of the Union of Midway on behalf of the agency
