The National Security Service, also referred to as the NSS, is an intelligence and law enforcement agency in the Empire Of Makko Oko. Its missions include state protection, counter-terrorism and counter-intelligence, with its jurisdiction purely within the borders of the empire, even if not officially declared through Emperor's Order or legislation.
The National Security Service has a history of suppressing dissent, including during the era of the republic, where during the Civil Transition War, the revolutionaries were kidnapped and tortured, with extrajudicial killings also common. In the modern era of the empire, that still holds true, with the National Security Service being regarded as the nation's official secret police agency, even if the government doesn't corroborate it.
History
The National Security Service was established by the Republic Of Makko Oko during the Civil Transition War to suppress dissent, weaken the revolutionaries, and to get intel on their activities and plans without government and parliamentary oversight. Due to it being a state of emergency and martial law during the war, the National Security Service was incepted through Presidential Order, and not through Parliament. Historical records are very little, not telling much on the official inception reason, or on what the actual mission of the National Security Service was.
When the war ended in 2019, the new Emperor, Conall Solis, had liked the failed agency of the war, and had decided to keep it and purge it of all the old staff, replacing them with all new people, and granting them powers under the new government.
Duties & Functions
Like most departments and agencies within the government, no law or order formally established the Civil Control Service, and instead, all duties and functions are granted unilaterally after the formation of the agency in question, mostly by the Emperor themselves, but in some cases, the heads of the cabinet-level ministries give the orders.
The National Security Service is the dedicated law enforcement agency that protects the state's most important people, including the Emperor themselves, their cabinet members, etc. The National Security Service also has a heavy focus on domestic intelligence and international counter-intelligence, also being in-line with anti-terrorism efforts. Torture and extrajudicial killings are said to be quite commonly conducted by NSS agents, with only CIB agents surpassing them in those sorts of rumors.
