The Strategic Intelligence Service of the Senatorial Republic (Arcadian: Servizio di Intelligenza Strategica) is a civilian foreign intelligence service of the Arcadian central government, officially tasked with gathering, processing, and analyzing national security information from around the world, primarily through the use of human intelligence (HUMINT).

Some evidence points to the SIS exerting political influence through its tactical divisions on regional managers. The SIS was also instrumental in establishing intelligence services in several Arcadian allied countries. It has also provided support to many foreign political groups and governments, including planning, coordinating, training, technical support, and has allegedly involved in several regime changes in the region and planned assassinations of foreign leaders.
