Galactic Alliance Intelligence

Galactic Alliance Intelligence, often abbreviated as G.A. Intel or GAI, is the branch of the Galactic Alliance that concerns general military intelligence matters.

Introduction
Galactic Alliance Intelligence, more specifically, is responsible for obtaining and analyzing information about foreign governments, corporations, organizations and individuals, and disseminating such information to the various branches of the Galactic Alliance government, often State (for political responses to a situation), and also to the Army or Fleet Command (for miltary responses to a situation).

However, its purpose was not purely for intellectual information, as Galactic Alliance Intelligence appeared to have been a military or paramilitary organization, providing its officers with military ranks and operating units such as Blackmoon Squadron, an E-wing squadron with skills on par with that of Rogue Squadron's. Whether this oversteps its bounds set by the Galactic Alliance Constitution are ambiguous, as such matters are encouraged to be not meedled with by high-ranking GAI officers.

35-39 ABY: Beginnings
Galactic Alliance Intelligence was the successor to New Republic Intelligence after the New Republic's decline and eventual collapse in the Yuuzhan Vong War. After the resignation of GA Intel's first director (Dif Scaur) after the conclusion of the Yuuzhan Vong War, Belindi Kalenda took the prestigous title as Director of Galactic Alliance Intelligence. However, after the ending of the Swarm War, a greivous faux pas by Director Kalenda compelled her to resign, and her seat was taken by the renowned warhorse General Carlist Rieekan, a General of great renown for his valiant efforts in the Battle of Hoth in the Galactic Civil War.

40 ABY: Kuat Crisis
Galactic Alliance Intelligence participated in numerous intelligence-gathering operations against the Kuati, helping to plan the Galactic Alliance Guard attack to retrieve the four Jedi hostages at the beginning of the crisis. Further details can not be revealed at this time as of G.A. Intel's operations during the rest of the Kuat Crisis.

However, after the resolution of the Kuat Crisis, it is known that the macabre operations of Jacen Solo, a subdirector of the Galactic Alliance Guard, a branch of Galactic Alliance Intelligence, encouraged the complete disbanding of the intelligence agency as Peace once again took the reins of the Galactic Alliance and the Galaxy.

44-66 ABY
It was re-established by Jaina Solo in 44 ABY. The agency was under the authority of the General Ministry and was based on New Alderaan. Due to her duties to the Jedi Order and her three young children, Jaina passed over it's leadership to Nek Ontrell. The Intel was an essential factor the defeat of numerous threats such as the Imperial Rebellion and the fiasco at Star's End. In 66 ABY, Alona Solo took over as head of the unit.

G.A Intel acted as a clearinghouse for intelligence reports from across the galaxy. Its threat analysis prompted and informed a innumerable military missions. While the Defense Force maintained its own military intelligence unit in the form of Fleet Intelligence, the G.A Intel interacted on a regular basis with military units. The G.A Intel also works closely with the Jedi Order. The G.A Intel will later pave the way for the G.A Corps military, an organization bent on dismantling the New Empire and its leader Roan Fel.
