The General Intelligence and Security Service (Quebecshirite: Service de Renseignement et de Sécurité Général [sɛʁvis də ʁɑ̃sɛɲmɑ̃ e də sekyʁite ʒeneʁal]; SRSG) is a civilian intelligence and security agency of the federal government of Montesayette. Its mission is to gather, process, and analyze national security information, both domestically and abroad. It focuses on human intelligence and covert operations. The agency's headquarters are located on the outskirts of Nerfoy, setting it apart from other federal government agencies housed in the main government quarters. The SRSG works closely with its military and financial counterparts, the Directorate of Intelligence and Security of Defense (DRSD), and the Financial Intelligence Unit (URF). With approximately 6,500 employees, it is the largest agency within the Montesayettean intelligence community.
The SRSG was established in 1933 in response to the Creeperian Civil War. Initially, its main objectives were to protect Montesayettean parliamentary democracy, safeguard economic interests, and counter terrorism and espionage within the country. Over time, the SRSG expanded its mandate to include foreign intelligence operations, covert activities, and paramilitary actions. This transformation was prompted by the Eleutherian Civil War and subsequent conflicts like the South Ecros War. Lieutenant General Jori Villeneuve, a Montesayettean Air Force general, played a central role in the SRSG's history. He became the founding director of the modern-form SRSG in 1945 and is widely recognized as Montesayette's top spymaster. Under Villeneuve's leadership, the SRSG played a role in various conflicts, continuing to the present day.
