Judicial Intelligence Bureau

The Judicial Intelligence Bureau was the intelligence agency of the Republic Judicial Forces. Comprised of agents selected from the Republic's most elite Judicial troopers, the duty of Judicial Intelligence was to carry out various missions including espionage and infiltration to gather intelligence on large-scale criminal factions such as the Black Sun and Hutt Cartel. While not part of their mandate, some Judicial Intelligence missions involved the assassination of crime lords attached to these syndicates. The Judicial Intelligence Center on Coruscant contained thousands of data entries regarding information on criminal organizations and high-profile criminals across the galaxy. As this data was kept in server devices, the Judicial Intelligence Center was frequently infiltrated by various criminals seeking to destroy this information or acquire intelligence on rival crime groups. Among these infiltrators was Naastau, who infiltrated the Intelligence Center in early 22 BBY to remove all knowledge of his activities as a Black Sun assassin. With the onset of the Clone Wars, the Judicial Intelligence Bureau was merged with the Strategic Information Service and the Senate Bureau of Intelligence to form the multi-purposed Republic Intelligence.
