Overview
SDS Collective (SDSC) is a collective unconsciousness that operates as the SDS Foundation in the Oneirosphere. Its purpose and ideology is largely similar to that of the real SDS Foundation[5], contributing the the maintenance of safety and security from anomalies that manifest or cause harm in the human subconscious.
No official statement has been made regarding the origins of SDSC to date. While it is rumoured that this information may exist somewhere, SDSC has often made use of disinformation, making any evidence that points towards its origin as unreliable.
Government
The governmental structure of SDSC is believed to be similar to the real SDS Foundation, though it is unclear if SDSC's "Overdream Council" have any true connections to the "Overseer Council. The SDSC is fairly secritive and militaristic, keeping itself secure from intrusion with higher proficiency than most.
Dreamscape Jurisdiction
SDSC covertly holds control over several dreamscapes in a variety of subconscious people around the world, each of whom contain clusters of cities with various uses. These uses include things such as; relay points, monitoring stations, storage, shelters, and research facilities. The most secretive and hardest to access dreamscapes are supposedly where the most important facilities of SDSC are located, though despite this all of the SDSC's dreamscapes regardless of their importance are hidden and disguised in order to prevent other Egregores or individual dreamers from intruding into them.
It is unknown how connected these dreamscapes are to corporeal SDS personnel, but there is most likely some kind of link between the two.
Diplomacy
The SDSC does not actively associate itself with or even communicate with any other Egregore, instead intentionally remaining hidden from all others. Because of this behaviour, most other Egregores are either only partially aware of the SDSC and its operations or completely in the dark other than for occasional rumours. The SDSC has often infiltrated several other Egregores with its own operatives[6], or employed insiders, with the goal of surveying the other Egregores for possible abnormalities or threats.
Composition
It is believed that the majority of SDSC personnel are Oneiroi who are/were SDS Foundation personnel in corporeal reality. Out of their corporeal workforce, it is unclear how many of them are actually aware they are - or how long they have been SDSC members. Although some of the few rumours that have managed to leave the confines of the SDSC state that many of its noncorporeal personnel have been active for nearly half a millennia CT[7].
The SDSC shares most of its "occupations" with the corporeal SDS Foundation such as; researchers, engineers, field agents, bureaucrats, and many more. Interestingly, these roles do not necessarily correlate with an individuals corporeal occupation.
Equipment
The technologies the SDSC utilises are quite advanced and sophisticated compared to what other Egregores and even most corporeal organizations utilise, giving them a decisive technological advantage over any perceived competitors to their operations.
