Galactic Alliance Security Galactic Alliance Security , also referred to as GA Security or simply GAS , was a police and paramilitary force of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances . Operating primarily on the planet Coruscant , the GAS was formed in the aftermath of the Second Galactic Civil War . With the dismantling of the Galactic Alliance Guard , the GA government formed Galactic Alliance Security to serve as its law enforcement arm , separate from the Galactic Alliance Defense Force . The Head of Galactic Alliance Security served as both the commander of GAS and as the Director of Galactic Alliance Intelligence . The move ensured that information would move smoothly between the organizations but not in effect recreate the secret police that the Galactic Alliance Guard had been . The everyday GAS operations were based out of a blockhouse in the government district of Galactic City . GA security operated detention centers and provided security for the Armand Isard Correctional Facility . Security troopers wore blue armor and helmets , although in some instances they were given black riot armor . Galactic Alliance Security was also known to work with bounty hunters , including members of Chief of State Natasi Daala ' s special - missions force Dhidal Nyz , Vrannin Vaxx , Hrym Mawarr , and Zilaash Kuh . In 43 . 5 ABY , when several Jedi Knights began to fall prey to a strange psychosis , several Galactic Alliance Security troopers were used by the government to assist in dealings with the Jedi Order . Organization . GA Security was led by the Head of Galactic Alliance Security . When it was formed after the Second Galactic Civil War , the Head of GA Security also served as the Director of Galactic Alliance Intelligence . Other high ranks included that of Superintendent and Colonel . Beneath them were Captains , Lieutenants , and Sergeants . Galactic Alliance Security forces also worked with bounty hunters and mercenaries , occasionally operating alongside the members of Natasi Daala ' s special - missions force . They employed the services of such hunters as the lightsaber - carrying Zilaash Kuh and the Quarren inventor Dhidal Nyz . Security forces also worked with the cyborg mercenary Vrannin Vaxx , the Rodian bounty hunter Kaddit , and Skakoan bouonty hunter and politician Hrym Mawarr . History . A new crisis . Galactic Alliance Security became a major security force for the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances on Coruscant around the time following the Second Galactic Civil War . In 43 . 5 ABY , a Security force under the command of Captain Savar was sent to arrest Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker on charges of dereliction of duty for failing to prevent Jedi Knight - turned - Sith Lord Darth Caedus ' fall to the dark side of the Force during the war . The force also included three bounty hunters who were members of Chief of State Natasi Daala ' s special - missions force — Zilaash Kuh , Dhidal Nyz , and Hrym Mawarr . During the arrest , one of the troopers , Bessen , inadvertently opened fire on Skywalker , but the situation was brought back under control . Skywalker was taken to a Galactic Alliance Security blockhouse , although he was released soon after . Security forces , again led by Savar and including bounty hunters Kuh and another member of Daala ' s force , Kaddit , were later sent to capture Jedi Knight Valin Horn , who had gone on a destructive rampage through the galactic capital of Coruscant after a psychotic breakdown . Horn was captured by Skywalker , however , and Security forces attempted to force Skywalker to hand the fugitive over . Eventually a compromise was reached , and Horn was placed in the Mon Mothma Memorial Medical Center . However , after Skywalker ' s trial and subsequent exile , Horn was moved to the Jedi Temple . Security troopers were later issued a warrant for the arrest of Horn , and Captain Oric Harfard led several troopers , accompanied by Zilaash Kuh and the mercenary Vrannin Vaxx , to the Temple to arrest Horn . The Jedi Knight was then put on trial , encased in carbonite , and placed in the Armand Isard Correctional Facility , a Galactic Alliance prison . Jedi interventions . Security forces were later present during rogue Jedi Seff Hellin ' s attempt to free Horn from the Armand Isard Correctional Facility . Once again they employed the use of bounty hunters Kuh and Nyz , however , they were unable to capture Hellin , as he was caught by Darkmeld — a secret organization founded by Jedi Knight Jaina Solo to counter Daala ' s anti - Jedi policies . Galactic Alliance Security troops led by Harfard arrived at the Jedi Temple the next day to arrest Hellin , however , as Solo had kept the Darkmeld organization a secret from the Masters , acting Grand Master Kenth Hamner truthfully told Harfard that he didn ' t know where Hellin was . Soon after , Horn ' s sister , Jysella Horn , developed the same psychosis as her brother . She fled from the Temple and fought with Jedi Knights Bazel Warv and Yaqeel Saav ' etu before being captured by Security forces . The two Horn children were transferred to a covert Galactic Alliance Security blockhouse under the command of Colonel Wruq Retk . Before long , Warv and Saav ' etu also developed the psychosis . They were captured by Solo , Imperial Remnant Head of State Jagged Fel , and Solo ' s parents , Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo , outside of the Jedi Temple ' s speeder entrance . Galactic Alliance Security Captain Atar soon arrived with a warrant for Warv and Saav ' etu ' s arrests , however , the two Jedi had already been secured inside the Temple , and Han and Leia Solo returned to the Temple and shut the entrance behind them to buy time . Fel used his diplomatic immunity to leave the scene with Jaina Solo in his limousine . Atar was frustrated with his failure to capture the psychotic Jedi , however , and ordered that Fel and Solo be prevented to leave . A Security team under the command of a Duros officer blocked the limo ' s path in their assault speeder , but Fel convinced Atar to let them leave . Jedi propaganda . The Jedi Order soon formulated a plan to reveal the darker side of Galactic Alliance Security and gain the sympathy of the public . They tricked Head Judge of the Court of Jedi Affairs Arabelle Lorteli into granting them a document giving them visitation rights to the Horn siblings . Jaina Solo arrived at the secret Galactic Alliance Security blockhouse , where two Security troopers attempted to prevent her entrance . One of them , Sergeant Weeze , raised an alarm , alerting several nearby Security forces to the danger . Soon , however , several Jedi Masters arrived , along with the Horns ' mother , Mirax Terrik Horn , and a large contingent of press . The Security forces arrived with Atar at their helm , but as he was shown the Jedi ' s document , he was forced to allow them access to the Horns . He ordered a Bothan Security Lieutenant , Rasher Ke ' e , to prevent the press from accessing the Horns , but the Jedi neglected Ke ' e ' s instructions and ensured that the press followed them . The Jedi and press found that the Horns were being held at the executive level of the building , where they were being treated as office decorations . Colonel Wruq Retk , commander of the facility , arrived and attempted to provoke the Jedi in front of the press , but Terrik Horn , furious at Retk ' s treatment of her children , assaulted him , knocking him out . The present Security forces began calling for her arrest , but at the prompting of Jaina Solo , journalist Javis Tyrr presented a question to one of the Security officers , Captain Xanda , which made their claims sound ridiculous . Chief of State Natasi Daala quickly arrived and announced that charges would not be pressed . The Jedi took the mission to be a success ; they had shown the public the corruption of Daala ' s courts , as well as the apparent cruelty with which Galactic Alliance Security treated the Horns . The Jedi Order soon after succeeded in smuggling several psychotic Knights off - world . However , as more Jedi fell prey to the psychosis , Daala continued to order that they be turned over to the government . When the Jedi Order refused her , she turned to the Mandalorians rather than continuing to use Galactic Alliance Security forces , issuing first a raid and later a siege of the Jedi Temple by the Mandalorians . During the siege , the Jedi called for a public meeting with Daala to turn over their psychotic Knights . Daala agreed , and brought with her Doctor Thalleus Tharn and a Galactic Alliance Security contingent led by Captain Oric Harfard . The meeting was a Jedi ploy , however — they had recently discovered that their Knights were healed from the psychosis , and thus sought to force Daala to end the siege . When Han Solo , acting as spokesperson for the Jedi , announced that the two formerly psychotic Jedi were leaving the Temple , Harfard protested heavily , as he feared the Jedi were attempting to harm the Chief of State . Daala ignored him , however , allowing the two Knights — Turi Altamik and Sothais Saar — to approach and be examined by Doctor Tharn . Tharn pronounced them cured , and Daala ordered Captain Harfard to lift the siege . Discredited . In the shadows of Coruscant political spheres , a conspiracy was planning to remove Natasi Daala as Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance as part of their plans for a new Galactic Empire . The recent slave uprisings added to the growing dissent in public opinion had led to a great deal of paranoia from Daala who begun trusting her closest allies less and less . Even the GAS was under suspicion . The conspirators decided to use that when they also realized that a member of the GAS at the Senate Building , Lieutenant Javon Thewles , was being acosted by an undercover Jedi Knight , Seha Dorvald . They faked a poisoning of three of their fellow conspirators , Moff Drikl Lecersen , General Merratt Jaxton and Senator Fost Bramsin , as well as the Senate water supply . Dorvald ' s identity was leaked to the Galactic Alliance and she was arrested . Thewles ' s link to Dorvald led to his arrest on the charge of conspiracy to murder but he was soon released due to lack of evidence . The damage had been done however as Daala no longer trusted the GAS and she relieved them of the charge of Senate protection . Fleet Intelligence , whom Daala trusted more due to her own experience in the navy , were charged with Senate security . However , Fleet Intelligence were under the control of Admiral Sallinor Parova , a member of the conspiracy . As they moved to depose Daala , the Jedi launched a coup of their own which ended in them storming the Snetae Building and having Daala arrested . A transitional government was formed : a Triumvirate between acting Grand Master Saba Sebatyne , Senator Haydnat Treen and General Jaxton . Changes . After the dissolution of the Triumvirate when Luke Skywalker decided to remove the Jedi Order from Coruscant , the Senate elected an interim Chief of State . Although Senator Padnel Ovin was originally elected , members of the Lost Tribe of Sith had infiltrated Coruscant so as to take over the government and prepare for their plans for galactic domination . Due to the actions of High Lord Ivaar Workan , who was working undercover as Senator Kameron Suldar , the Jedi were discredited as having committed abuses of power during their tenure in the government . A Senate subcommittee , led by Workan , was formed to investigate said actions and the GAS arrested the only Jedi remaining on Coruscant , Leia Organa Solo . The Jedi retaliated by attacking the Sith who had infiltrated the GA government and the GAS , including a superintendent . Though the Jedi were victorious in killing most Sith , Coruscant was badly damaged including the Galactic Justice Center . In the aftermath of the arrest of the GAS head , Borath Maddeus , for his actions in the Imperial - Alliance conspiracy , Garik Loran was named as head of the GAS and Galactic Alliance Intelligence .
