Senate Planetary Intelligence Network

The Senate Interplanetary Intelligence Network (SPIN) was a clandestine intelligence unit created by the New Republic in 4 ABY. Although described as an intelligence agency, SPIN was more accurately a team of operations that performed special missions.

Based on Yavin 4, SPIN used a dispersed network of operatives to locate and neutralized planets with major Imperial resistance against a pro-Alliance populace and collect intelligence on Imperial held planets and operations. Its core membership revolved around a number of Heroes of Yavin. After Trioculus bombarded Yavin 4 in search of the Lost City of the Jedi, SPIN relocated to Mount Yoda on Dagobah.

SPIN continued to operate from Dagobah for under the end of the Trioculus threat, at which time Mon Mothma disbanded the group. Its assets and staff were presumably folded into New Republic Intelligence.
