Main Directorate for State Security

The Main Directorate for State Security, known colloquially as StateSec or by its acronym MDSS, is the official internal of the United Republics.

Formed from the network of GRU and NKVD trained intelligence assets in the Worker's Party, StateSec was founded with the dual purpose of monitoring the reorganized remnants of the Old United States's law enforcement apparatus and to destroy the centres of counter-revolutionary resistance to the workers' republic.

In its early years, the existence of StateSec was guarded by the State Secrets Act, and it existed as a shadow organization within the Public Safety Secretariat's official law enforcement arm, the Proletarian Guard. Like its public-facing twin, StateSec was responsible for safe-guarding the revolution after the end of the Second American Civil War, especially after the abortive Charleston Insurrection. As the organization grew, it became the primary civilian intelligence and security arm of the newly-founded United Republics, with sections devoted to foreign intelligence, counterintelligence, and signals security in addition to its domestic espionage role. Their largest early targets included the Sons of Liberty, a far-right terrorist organization responsible for violent intimidation and lynching of Black Americans and Jews.
