The Vanguard Intelligence Agency, more often known as VIA, is an elite intelligence division within the [[Astral Vanguard]] that operates separately from their main corps under a deep shroud of secrecy and misinformation. They are tasked with rooting out corruption in the military, removing internal and external threats to security, and are responsible for both public and private investigations of ongoing events in the world. In the case of a civil war or conflict with another nation, their duties would also extend to gathering information on them. | The Vanguard Intelligence Agency, more often known as VIA, is an elite intelligence division within the [[Astral Vanguard]] that operates separately from their main corps under a deep shroud of secrecy and misinformation.

ISA agents tend to be trained in intelligence analysis and gathering, as well as espionage and counter-espionage theory. In the field, they rarely engage in combat or infiltrate enemy nations, instead ferreting out enemy intelligence operatives and pin-pointing threats for raids by the SOF. | ISA agents tend to be trained in intelligence analysis and gathering, as well as espionage and counter-espionage theory.
