Like most modern nations, The Federated Stars thrives on its trade. The Trade Oversight Department has long attracted many of the best and brightest in what has been at times surrogate warfare with some other nations. And it is a public fact that the Trade Oversight Department has tremendous responsibility, and takes that responsibility seriously. TOD’s auditors, accountants, and review officers are the last line of defense on some trade matters. Over the years, it was TOD reviews that plugged the loopholes in the Treaty of St. Nazaire before it was signed, that tracked down the ‘misplaced’ 502 billion ¥ in the Smith Scandal before it was transferred off-planet, and discovered the black market operation using a AmeriCo’s division as a front. So accomplished has TOD become at ferreting the truth out from the financial books that TOD agents have been seconded to the Office of the Auditor General. It is therefore possible for the TOD to have people at work reviewing almost any aspect of government operations at any Stars office, consulate, embassy, or trade post. Many times TOD agents have done a ‘cursory review’ of an office in a government agency in order to get close to their real target. Some MI-5 & MI-6 agents have their cover assignments in the Trade Oversight Department, the accountants, auditors, and analysts charged with ensuring compliance with trade regulations. The TOD is feared for its own reasons, for who likes being audited? But their efficiency, ability, and scope is such that they make the perfect cover for the covert agents.
