MI5 Fact Sheet
An MI5 pass doesn’t provide police powers, unrestricted access, or authority to use every covert technique. Assignment, legal basis, credentials, clearance, cover, system entitlement, and need to know remain separate.
OSINT-6: MI5 Fact Sheet brings the real, publicly documented Security Service to the game table. It covers MI5’s history, statutory functions, legal limits, oversight, organization, careers, facilities, partnerships, intelligence practices, and current priorities. That material then becomes practical OSINT-6 character and equipment guidance.
This 31-page sourcebook includes 11 occupational packages, from Intelligence Officer and Intelligence and Data Analyst to Case Officer, Mobile Surveillance Officer, Cyber Technical Analyst, Language Specialist, and Protective Security Adviser. Each package supplies class, Profession, priority skill, qualification, feat, and assignment guidance. The MI5 assignment record keeps employer, team, objective, legal basis, credentials, clearance, access, cover, equipment, reporting line, and review separate.
Investigation-team guidance shows how intelligence, source, surveillance, technical, legal, protective-security, and police responsibilities fit together. Eleven assignment packages connect documented work to existing OSINT-6 equipment profiles. Six historical entries cover an early surveillance camera, invisible writing, flash-transmission radio equipment, microdot concealment, a covered microphone installation, and GARBO’s secret-writing and wireless traffic.
Build an MI5 character, assemble a domestic-security investigation team, or place the Security Service within an existing campaign. Every package connects public institutional facts to OSINT-6 rules without granting undefined access or unlimited authority. Requires the OSINT-6 Core Rulebook.
