Alliance Security Agency

The Alliance Security Agency, abbreviated ASA, also called Alliance Security Force, Alliance Internal Affairs, and most commonly just Alliance Security, was the military police of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, though many thought it was the secret police of the Alliance High Command. The Galactic Empire's Imperial Intelligence said it was the Rebel Alliance equivalent to the Imperial Security Bureau. It was made up of both common policemen, usually Rebels recruited from law enforcement agencies on their planets, along with more elite agents who were Force-sensitive to some extent. At least one was a former Cipher agent of the Jedi Order's Temple Security Force, and trained the agents of ASA in the unique combat style that they used. After the Galactic Civil War, it was replaced by the New Republic Security Service, and most agents served in both it and the revived Temple Security of the New Jedi Order.
