Diplomatic Operations (rho/gamma)

The Diplomatic Operations Branch explains the official policies and beliefs of ComStar to the governments and various political factions in the Inner Sphere. At political functions, DOB operatives express ComStar's views and intentions on all subjects of interest to the order, and generally act as ComStar's public relations officers. Like other intelligence agencies, the DOB also cultivates in its operatives skills to help them accomplish more private missions All diplomatic operatives receive training in many less-acceptable social skills, including seduction. Operatives often carry out information-gathering missions targeted at a specific noble or diplomat who ROM considers a viable source of intelligence. The methods employed by the DOB range from seduction to outright blackmail, and even the most unorthodox approaches show a good success rate.

The current head of the DOB, Demi-Precentor Sasha Richardson, is an ex-entertainer from the game world of Solaris with a knack for getting others to talk without revealing her intentions. Based on the number of times they have met secretly with Richardson over the years, a number of important nobles within the Free Worlds Parliament may be under her influence.
