Imperial Intelligence & The Ine Givar

The amount of trouble to gather intelligence on thousands of planets is so great that intelligence must be different in scale from what we are useful. For instance if a world ruler secretly defects we have what amounts to a mole with a whole secret service at his command. The Imperium is likely to be the one infiltrating him.

Possibly every subsector duke maintains his own secret service on his own dime.

The most important part is analysis. At that level it is extremely difficut to process even with computer assistance.
