Detective division The Coruscant Security Force ( CSF ) operated a detective division to serve as its criminal investigative arm . It was led by a Chief of Detectives and based out of the Coruscant Security Force Headquarters in Galactic City on the planet Coruscant . The detective division was charged with investigating major crimes including homicides and kidnappings which were beyond the capabilities of the police officers and police droids who worked patrol . Notable cases included the massacre at the headquarters of the Order of the Canted Circle in the Fobosi District , the murder of Senator Pax Teem of Malaster and the burning of the Malastare embassy , the kidnapping of Chi Eekway and Che Amanwe , the daughters of the Pantoran Chairman Notluwiski Papanoida , the murder of Senator Onaconda Farr of Rodia , the murder of Jedi Master Tresina Lobi , and the murders of the Bothan ambassador and several other Bothans . Organization . The detective division was the investigative arm of the Coruscant Security Force ( CSF ) . They were responsible for investigating crimes such as homicides , difficult - to - solve cases , explosions , and other incidents requiring special investigations . The division was led by a Chief of Detectives who handed out assignments and set case priorities . Police officers who held ranks higher than detective , such as lieutenant , also would conduct investigations and were referred to as inspectors . History . Mass murders and Sith . In 52 BBY , CSF detectives were summoned by two Jedi Knights to investigate a grisly crime scene at the headquarters of the Order of the Canted Circle in the Fobosi District . Upon their arrival they discovered dozens and dozens of dead including two Echani warriors believed to be bodyguards , twelve Muuns of the InterGalactic Banking Clan , and triple that number of Maladian assassins dressed in the Canted Circle Order ' s robes who had been killed by blaster fire and traumatic amputations . The Order ' s members whose robes had been borrowed , were bound and unconscious and lay in various locations . The amputated remains of the Maladians were so scattered that the CSF detectives initially surmised an explosive had detonated though no explosive evidence could be found . The Jedi who had notified the police , did not reveal why they had been at the location and why they had an interest in the the case . A second major crime scene at the Malastare embassy also had the CSF detectives engaged . There , Senator Pax Teem of Malaster along with several guest had been killed and the embassy completely burned . The CSF was able to determine that due to numerous amount of blood discovered at the scene of the fire , the victims had been killed first before the setting of the fire . This led the police detectives to believe that the mass killings and fire were a hit orchestrated by organized crime . Unknown to the CSF , the scene at the Chanted Circle headquarters was the result of Senator Teem hiring the Maladian assassins to kill Hego Damask , the alter ego of Darth Plagueis . The assassination had been interrupted by Palpatine and Sate Pestage who together with Plagueis had killed the Maladians . Palpatine , filled with rage , had gone after Senator Teem , invading the residence and massacring the security guards and the dinner guests before setting Teem on fire along with the rest of the building . The sudden activity of the dark side of the Force had alerted the Jedi who sent two members of the Jedi Council to scene . However , the Jedi , as before , refused to clarify their presence and interest in the case . With the Jedi , the Order of the Canted Circe , InterGalactic Banking Clan , and the Gran Protectorate remaining silent , the case stalled despite attempts by the Senate Investigative Committee to continue the investigation . In 32 BBY , the CSF came into conflict with the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Maul when he was pursuing a group through the Crimson Corridor that included Jedi Padawan Darsha Assant and information broker Lorn Pavan , as they were in the possession of a special holocron containing information about the ongoing blockade of Naboo . The Dark Lord , wanting to quickly gain a means of transportation , hacked into Coruscant ' s security dispatch system , sending out a call reporting a droid banking crime . Two CSF officers , accompanied by a police cruiser backup unit , responded to the call . However , Darth Maul disabled the PCBU by jumping on top of it and destroying the droid with his lightsaber . The officers turned their speeder bikes around , only to be killed by the Sith , who sliced through their armor with his weapon . The Sith then took one of the officer ' s speeders and continued his pursuit of Pavan and Assant . The CSF later investigated the incident but was unable to explain how someone could jump fifteen feet into the air to reach the PCBU without getting shot . Kenobi was present at the investigation while searching for the missing Assant . He discussed the matter with the two investigators , a Mrlssi and a Sullustan , promising the assistance of the Jedi Order . However , the issue was pushed aside upon his return to the Jedi Temple , as he was sent to respond to the Trade Federation ' s blockade of Naboo . It was also at that time that the CSF investigated the death of a Hutt nightclub owner and several of his thugs , who had all been killed by Maul in an attempt to find Pavan . A fragment of the report would be found years later by former Imperial aide , Haninum Tyk Rhinann . Routine investigations . In 22 BBY , Detective Dherik Rule was on duty in Taung Heights area when he took a report from Latika Garboren who claimed finding a Sith emblem in a dollop of pastebread . Rule acknowledged her complaint , however he failed to find a crime to pursue . Rule was later interviewed by HoloNet News about the incident . Soon thereafter , CSF investigators responded to the scene of airspeeder collision in the Bindai District . There they discovered the dead body of Senator Nemrileo irm - Drocubac of Tanjay IV . The senator had been traveling in his airspeeder when it collided with a delivery truck . Upon investigating the scene further , investigators came to the conclusion that there had been an internal guidance error . The police did not expect to file any charges in the incident and the senator was laid to rest . Later that year , Officer Wets Tranoj investigated the theft of Senator Simon Greyshade ' s XJ - 6 airspeeder . The speeder was discovered thirty minutes after it had been stolen from a Senatorial Quarters parkway . The police were notified of the theft by a security system after seeing a young Human male leap into the vehicle and tear away from the parkway . As the CSF was looking at the found speeder , a youth came out from the Snapping Septoid entertainment facility . Seeing the CSF police officers , the youth started running away from them and yelling . Tranoj arrested the youth , Reymet Autem , and charged him with the theft after he admitted that he had been at Greyshade ' s quarters . This was somewhat of an embarrassment for all concerned because not only was Reymet the son of Senate Guard Sagoro Autem , but Sagoro was the designated bodyguard of Greyshade , the owner of the stolen speeder . The speeder again went briefly missing from the crime scene while the CSF processed Reymet Autem . However , the speeder was found returned to its original parking spot at the Senatorial speeder barn . Tranoj explained it as an error by rookie police officer overlooking some paperwork . This allowed its use by the Jedi Anakin Skywalker and Obi - Wan Kenobi — who had borrowed the speeder to chase down the assassin Zam Wesell after she attempted to assassinate Senator Padmé Amidala — to go unnoticed . The Clone Wars . Lieutenant Tan Divo was called to investigate the kidnapping of Chi Eekway and Che Amanwe , the daughters of the Pantoran Chairman Notluwiski Papanoida . However , in their search of Papanoida ' s apartment , the CSF failed to realize that Papanoida ' s Icon of the Moon Goddess had been misplaced and so missed the trace amount of blood underneath the statue . After the CSF left the apartment , Chairman Papanoida discovered the blood when replacing his idol . An analysis of the blood showed it to be that of Greedo , a Rodian bounty hunter from Tatooine . Papanoida and his son , Ion , recovered Chi Eekway on Tatooine , and Che Amanwe was found aboard a Trade Federation battleship by Senator Riyo Chuchi and Jedi Padawan Tano , who had been instructed by her Master , Anakin Skywalker , to assist unofficially in the investigation since the Jedi could not officially interfere with a matter delegated to the local police . Lieutenant Divo , as well as several police droids , later responded to investigate the death of Senator Onaconda Farr of Rodia , who had collapsed after unknowingly drinking a poison . Divo ordered a forensic report on Farr , and the investigation made progress mostly through the assistance of Senators Amidala and Bail Organa . Following Farr ' s funeral , Divo interrogated several of the senators in the Chancellor ' s Suite , but Amidala and Organa decided to investigate the murder as well . They followed a lead given to them by Senator Mee Deechi to the Coruscant docks , where they were attacked by Representative Lolo Purs , who had been Farr ' s assistant as well as his murderer . However , they did not know who had attacked them and were able to catch the attention of a CSF patrol . While the police droids secured the the docks as a crime scene and questioned potential witnesses , Organa and Amidala were given a lecture by Divo for trying to take matters into their own hands . Amidala suspected that Deechi had set them up , but when they returned to the Senate Building , they found that Deechi had been fatally stabbed . With two murders in the Senate , Divo was quick to react when Purs came to claim that she was attacked by Senator Halle Burtoni , a political ally of Deechi . Purs told Divo that she believed Burtoni was the killer , and the inspector arrested Burtoni and attempted to get a confession to both murders from her by showing evidence from his extensive forensic report on Farr . In the ensuing conversation , Purs herself was revealed as the killer of both Farr and Deechi , and after a brief attempt to take Amidala hostage , she was arrested by the CSF . With the Declaration of a New Order , the Republic became the Galactic Empire . Policing on Coruscant was reorganized and the majority of the detective division was transferred to the Imperial Security Bureau . This left local precincts to conduct the majority of criminal investigations . Jedi , Bothans , and Chiefs . During the Second Galactic Civil War , Grand Master Luke Skywalker asked Jedi Master Tresina Lobi to keep an eye on his son , Ben Skywalker , who was apprenticed to Jacen Solo . Master Skywalker was concerned with Solo ' s methods and actions in leading the GAG , as well as with Ben ' s involvement in them . However , while trailing Ben one night , Master Lobi was ambushed and killed by the Dark Lady of the Sith Lumiya and Dark Jedi Alema Rar . Luke Skywalker and his wife , Mara Jade Skywalker , were notified of the Jedi ' s death by the CSF and were asked to come to the crime scene . There , they found two detectives , Gwad Raatu and Chal Tozr , as well as several crime scene investigation droids . The Jedi and CSF detectives agreed to work together to find the killer . They were able to track Lumiya to an apartment where they successfully gained entry , but they found the apartment empty and laced with traps . Using the Law Enforcement Tools Provision , Detective Raatu sliced into the apartment ' s central comm port . Meanwhile , the CSF Chief of Detectives had sent detectives to investigate the murders of several Bothans , including a Bothan ambassador . When Detectives Raatu and Tozr sliced into Lumyia ' s comm port , they discovered that she had been responsible for the Bothans ' murders . The detectives also found that the apartment was a GAG safe house . The fact that the GAG was behind the murders of the Bothans scared the detectives , especially when the comm port announced that their inquiries were being recorded by the GAG . The detectives , seeing that the situation was out of their control , formally closed the case on the murdered Jedi , leaving the Skywalkers to deal with the GAG . Later , an individual used the name of CSF " Captain Koltstan " as a front to sign off on the funeral procession for Admiral Cha Niathal , who had committed suicide after Chief of State Natasi Daala ordered that she be arrested and tried for her actions during the recent war . A quick investigation showed that no " Captain Koltstan " existed in the CSF , and Daala ordered the CSF to find out who had really paid for the procession . Though they failed to prevent Cal Omas ' death , the CSF continued to protect the Chief of State with bodyguards and intelligence information . As a result of Niathal ' s suicide , Daala ' s public approval ratings dropped steeply . Therefore , the CSF ' s protection branch believed that someone might try to attack Daala , and they suggested that she not attend the funeral . Daala was reluctant to comply , but her Chief of Staff , Wynn Dorvan , convinced her to take the CSF ' s advice . The CSF reported that the threat level against the Chief of State during the procession went up significantly .
