3FT Secret Service

The 3 Fists Triumvirate Secret Service is the interstellar intelligence agency of the Republic of Krax.  Members of this elite force serve as the personal body guards to the three members of the triumvirate.  Like the Shattered Planet Security [SPS] service, the 3FT Secret Service [3FT] operates as a security unit throughout the Republic of Krax.  Unlike the SPS, the 3FT also operates beyond the borders of the Republic of Krax.  Rumor has it that an operative sits on the Moot of the Imperium.

The 3FT also conducts intelligence gathering, espionage, and assassinations.  Several planetary officials of the Republic of Krax have died mysteriously since the 3FT has come to power.  Many of these deaths have been attributed to the 3FT.

The use of the 3FT abbreviation can apply to the three ruling members of the triumvirate or it can also apply to 3FT operatives.  Basically, any activity of 3FT agents is fully sanctioned by the three triumvirate members. The term is therefore interchangeable between the rulers and the agency.  The mere mention of "3FT" strikes fear into the hearts of many throughout the Republic of Krax.

No planetary system within the Republic can contract with a mercenary company without the approval of the 3FT. Any mercenary units hired to operate within the Republic must include a 3FT agent.  This agent must hold the rank of Colonel at the minimum. There are also plans to assemble 3FT mercenary services for other interstellar governments.  These elite mercenaries, made up of only 3FT operatives, will hire out to those interstellar governments friendly to the 3FT.  The Mandanin Co-Dominion is a major supporter of the 3FT and are extremely interested in the implementation of these 3FT mercenary units. 3FT Agents reside within the ranks of all branches of the military.  Several elite ground units are solely made up of members of the 3FT.  These units operate attached to regular Republic of Krax ground forces. 3FT controlled naval fleets are also in the works. 

In the year 1119, the 3FT's reach is limited but growing with each passing year.  Operatives are concentrated along the borders with the Imperium and in those systems of the Republic who are showing resistance to 3FT rule.  Many subsectors have minimal 3FT presence, and several systems within these subsectors have no 3FT presence at all.  By the year 1133, 3FT operatives are present throughout the entire Republic of Krax.
