Coruscant Security Force/Legends

"We're the law on Coruscant. Not the Jedi."

- Gwad Raatu

The Coruscant Security Force, also known as the Coruscant Police Force or simply called CSF, was a police/paramilitary force in the Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire, New Republic, and the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. It was in charge of maintaining law and order on Coruscant. This included regular patrols, crowd control, responding to emergencies, and investigations. Patrol units used VAAT/e and CSF assault ships as rapid troop deployment platforms and BARC speeders for regular patrol. If at times officers felt they could be entering a dangerous area, they could receive an escort by a police cruiser backup unit. One such situation resulted in both responding officers being killed and the police backup unit disabled by Darth Maul. Droids were also used as patrol units and to support organic officers with various tasks. This was especially true during the Clone Wars when the CSF utilized police droids who became the majority of first responders to situations. The CSF employed detectives to investigate serious crimes such as murder, organized crime, and terrorism. A noted investigation the CSF was called to solve, was the murder of Senator Onaconda Farr.

During the Clone Wars, the CSF was heavily supported by clone shock troopers. These soldiers were originally supposed to provide a military presence for the capital and protect important government buildings. However, in time they took over the primary responsibility of Coruscant's security in the form of the Coruscant Guard. The Guard continued and expanded these duties throughout the days of the Empire. During that time, the CSF acted in a support capacity to the Guard and was staffed mostly by stormtroopers instead of regular police officers although some constabulary officers were still used. After the fall of the Empire, the CSF was reinstated as the primary Coruscant law enforcement agency for the New Republic.

The Second Galactic Civil War placed the CSF right in the middle of the conflict between the Galactic Alliance and the Confederation. CSF officers were recruited into the Galactic Alliance Guard to counter terrorist activity by Corellians on Coruscant. The GAG was later disbanded after the death of Darth Caedus. By 43 ABY a new agency, Galactic Alliance Security, was formed and would operate alongside the CSF on Coruscant though they were an Alliance government agency, not simply a planetary agency.

Responsibilities
"Time, time, there's no time for time. A murderer's on the loose and it's my job to find him."

- Tan Divo

The Coruscant Security Force was tasked with providing law enforcement and security on Coruscant. This included regular patrols, crowd control, responding to emergencies, investigating crimes and maintaining the skylanes of Galactic City. Headquartered in the A-89 quadrant of Galactic City, they performed this duty under most of the galactic governments. At times traditional police officers were replaced with other units such as during the Imperial era. The majority of crime occurred in the undercity. Most politicians and influential citizens refused to do much about the situation, preferring to live in the upper levels and skyscrapers away from the unpleasantness of the lower levels and slums of the city. Areas such as the Factory District and the Crimson Corridor were especially heavy with crime. These areas were rarely visited by police and when they did it was in force.

Organization
"I'm incident commander. I say how and when anyone goes in."

- Lt. Dovel, to Omega Squad

The CSF had a similar command structure to most police and paramilitary organizations and among the ranks that officers could attain were Officer or Constable, Sergeant, Detective, Chief of Detectives, Lieutenant, and Captain. Though the rank of detective existed, officers of other ranks could also perform investigative-type duties. They would then be referred to as inspector along with whatever rank they held.

The CSF also had other titles for various duties. Special Agent was used to describe those working undercover or on special assignments. Incident Commander was used to describe the officer in charge of a major police operation.

During the days of the Galactic Empire, a Moff was placed in command of the CSF which at this time was staffed mostly by stormtroopers and some constabulary officers. Under this system, the CSF would remain separate from their Coruscant Guard counterparts.

The CSF also had units that would specialize in responding and dealing with specific crimes and situations. Along with SWAT teams and forensic units, the CSF also had the Organized Crime Unit and an Anti-Terrorism Unit. It was renamed the Anti-Terrorist Unit during the Galactic Alliance.

The CSF's traffic authority, Coruscant Traffic Control, was charged with maintaining order in the massive skylanes of Galactic City and performed this duty during both the Old and New Republic. During the reconstruction of Coruscant under the Galactic Alliance, Galactic City Air Traffic Control was formed and tasked with monitoring the skylanes. The CSF however continued to maintain its own traffic units. As the primary law enforcement agency, they also had the authority to supersede Air Traffic Control especially in situations involving bombings, riots, or other major police actions.

Vehicles
"Orbital Security Station Six to Coruscant Control. Checking in."

- Femi

The CSF used a variety of vehicles to perform their duties. For large deployments, SWAT raids, or riot response the CSF would use the VAAT/e. Starting with the Clone Wars the CSF assault ship had taken over those duties as the CSF's preferred assault and transport ship. A CSF assault ship was present at several riots that occurred on Coruscant during the Second Galactic Civil War.

Depending on the area, the CSF mostly used various police issue airspeeders for patrols along with the specialized police BARC speeder. They could be accompanied by a police cruiser backup unit if the officers felt they would need extra assistance or were entering a potentially dangerous area. During the time of the Great Galactic War, the CSF was also responsible for monitoring the space traffic in and around Coruscant. They used orbital security stations to accomplish this.

Relationship with other law enforcement
"You've already started collecting evidence, and the Jedi can bring some unique resources to bear."

- Luke Skywalker to Detectives Chal Tozr and Gwad Raatu

Throughout its history, the CSF worked with several organizations including the Judicial Forces, the Republic Security Force, GAR clone troopers, the Stormtrooper Corps, the Coruscant Planetary Defense Force, and the Galactic Alliance Guard. During the Galactic Republic, certain Jedi would at times assist the CSF though this was not as common during the time of the New Republic and the Galactic Alliance. Though the Jedi Order was technically a type of police agency, they mostly preferred to stay out of local affairs. If the Jedi became involved with a situation, they could claim jurisdiction, although they didn't have to and in many cases did not. However it was not uncommon for Jedi to assist the CSF in investigations and crime fighting. One such Jedi, Master Tera Sinube, was an expert in the workings of Coruscant's criminal underworld.

Before and during the the Clone Wars, the CSF worked closely with the Senate Guard, who had been protecting senators and other government officials for thousands of years and served as a second police force for Coruscant. Senate Guards were trained to focus on facts and forensic evidence when carrying out police investigations and a Senate Guard investigation was characteristically meticulous, thorough, and successful. This however changed with the appearance of the clone shock troopers who would become a secondary police force to the CSF in the form of the Coruscant Guard. When Palpatine formed the Red Guard, the role and authority of the Senate Guard was further diminished. The CSF Staff and Social Club was a bar favored by CSF officers. It was a location that CSF officers would at times invite members of other organizations to as a favor or sign of respect.

The Galactic Republic
"Unidentified vessel, this is Coruscant Security. We weren't expecting&hellip; Do you have a clearance code?"

- Femi's communication to the Sith fleet

In 3,653 BBY, the CSF would be the first to come in contact with the reformed Sith Empire as they began the Sacking of Coruscant. At the time of the attack CSF's Orbital Security Station Six was in charge of monitoring starship traffic around Coruscant. An all clear report was given to Coruscant Control by Femi, a CSF agent assigned to Orbital Station Six. After this report, an armada entered Coruscanti space. The CSF security station requested clearance codes from the Sith fleet unsure of who they were. The Sith fleet was commanded by Sith Lord Darth Angral who ordered the fleet to destroy the station, in the process killing the CSF agents on board. The Sith began their landing, occupying Coruscant and overwhelming any resistance. The Sith eventually withdrew from Coruscant, but not before they had used their occupation of the planet to force the Republic into the Treaty of Coruscant, starting the Cold War.

After the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, the Galactic Senate was forced to make difficult decisions on prioritizing the Republic’s resources. Only those parts of Coruscant that were vital for the running of the government and for trade were rebuilt. Due to this, large parts of Galactic City remained in ruins. Without the Jedi to provide assistance and extra protection, the CSF was unable to prevent many sectors of the city from falling under gang control.

In 42 BBY, the Bothan Yur T'aug was in charge of the Coruscant Security Force. During his career he investigated the murder of Fligh who was a petty thief and informer for Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and Didi Oddo. As it turned out, Fligh had faked his own death. T'aug also closed the case of Ren S'orn at the request of his mother, Senator Uta S'orn.

In 32 BBY the CSF came in conflict with the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Maul when he was chasing a group that included Jedi Darsha Assant and Lorn Pavan. The Dark Lord had hacked into Coruscant's security dispatch system, sending out a call reporting a droid banking crime. Two CSF officers responded to the call accompanied by a police cruiser backup unit. Darth Maul first disabled the 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 easily sliced through their armor. CSF later investigated the incident but seemed at a loss since they were unable to explain how someone could jump 15 feet into the air to reach the PCBU without getting shot. Obi-Wan Kenobi was present at the investigation while searching for the missing Jedi Darsha 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 as Kenobi was sent to respond to the blockade of Naboo upon his return to the Jedi Temple.

CSF/Republic Security officers also responded to the apartment of Senator Connus Trell when bounty hunter Jango Fett was interrogating him. Fett ended up dropping Trell from the senator's apartment. Fett then fired on the responding police units before escaping.

The Clone Wars
"Wearing armor may be the latest style on the Rimworlds, but here in civilization we usually take off our spacesuits, planetside. Heavy armor usually means trouble."

- Coruscant Security Force files

The Clone Wars brought changes to how the capital was policed. Police droids were used extensively as regular patrol units and were usually one of the first responders to situations. They performed duties such as setting up a perimeter, collecting evidence, preliminary interrogations, and holding and/or arresting suspects. Crimes that required in depth investigations, would be handed over to detectives or other, higher ranking, organic officers. Police probes were also used to assist in detecting crimes and identify suspects.

As part of the increasing changes, clone shock troopers were also stationed on Coruscant. Though their primary responsibilities were to provide a military presence for the capital and protect important government buildings, the shock troopers quickly took on a larger role of providing police services. They were assigned to the Coruscant Guard and would take on an even larger police role during the the Imperial era. Two noted operations the shock trooper Guards were involved were the raid on Ziro the Hutt's Coruscant club and a hostage situation at the Senate.

During the Clone Wars, CSF's Anti-Terrorism Unit was headed by Captain Jaller Obrim, a former commander in the Senate Guard. The unit was credited with the take-down of a Separatist terror cell by HoloNet News and Entertainment, although the removal of the terrorists was actually the work of Delta and Omega Squads, clone commando units that were called upon more and more to deal with situations formerly handled by Special Agents and CSF SWAT teams.

Another situation Omega Squad was involved in was a hostage situation at the Galactic City Spaceport. Lieutenant Dovel of the CSF was the incident commander in charge of the response forces. The Senate Guards also were there because a senator was one of the hostages. Jedi Master Kaim was sent in to attempt to negotiate with the hostage takers. However he was killed and his body was rigged with explosives thrown out side. Before they could detonate, clone commando Fi jumped onto the body. His heavy armor saved both his life and all the CSF police officers near him. This action was never forgotten by the CSF officers and served to strengthen the relationship of the police officers with the clones.

On one occasion, the CSF was called in by Jedi Master Tera Sinube to assist with the investigation of the murder of Nack Movers who was a Trandoshan assassin. Upon their arrival, they found that one of the suspects, Cassie Cryar, had escaped with Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano in pursuit. The other suspect, Ione Marcy, escaped as well upon the CSF's arrival but not before Master Sinube had secretly placed a tracking device on her. Both suspects were eventually traced to a train station where they were confronted by the CSF and the Jedi. Marcy was apprehended, and after a brief hostage taking attempt, Cryar was was as well. The incident resulted in two CSF police droids being dismantled by Cryar when she used Ahsoka's lightsaber to try to escape.

Lieutenant Tan Divo as well as several police droids responded to investigate the murder of Senator Onaconda Farr. The investigation made progress mostly through the assistance of Senators Padmé Amidala and Bail Prestor Organa. Farr had collapsed in a room while drinking with several fellow senators. Lt. Divo interrogated several of the senators in the Chancellor's Suite. Senators Amidala and Organa decided to investigate the murder as well. They followed a lead given them by Senator Mee Deechi to the Coruscant docks where they were attacked by an unknown assailant. They were able to catch the attention of a CSF patrol but were given a lecture by Divo when he arrived for trying to take things in their own hands. Amidala suspected that Deechi had set them up, however when they returned to the Senate Building they found Deechi had been stabbed to death. With now two murders in the Senate, Divo was quick to react when Farr's assistant, Lolo Purs, came to claim that she was attacked by Senator Halle Burtoni, a political ally of Deechi. Purs told Divo she believed Burtoni was the killer. The inspector had Burtoni held and attempted to trick her into a confession. In the ensuing conversation Purs herself was found out as the killer and after a brief attempt to take Senator Amidala hostage, was arrested by the CSF.

The Duchess of Mandalore, Satine Kryze was found next to the body a Republic Ministry of Intelligence agent, Davu Golec. The real murderer had been a Death Watch assassin. However, the police probe who found her noticed that she had a weapon and identified her as a suspect. The Duchess fled, resulting in chase by the CSF and Coruscant Guard troops as well as the assassin from the Death Watch. She was able to illude them by making them think she had escaped in an airspeeder. While the police kept searching for her, she met with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Coruscant Park. She later surrendered to Senate Guards at the Senate Building. The evidence she carried, a video concerning Republic aid for the Mandalore system, was played for the Senate. The Duchess was exonerated and the matter was dropped.

It was towards the end of the Clone Wars, the CSF had a number of files on sightings of an armored indiviual who eluded them and escaped into the Darkside region of the Coruscant Undercity.

The Galactic Empire


"The clone troopers, now proudly bearing the honorable rank of Imperial stormtroopers, have tackled the dangerous work of fighting our enemies on the front lines. Many have died in their devotion to the Empire. Imperial citizens would do well to remember their example."

- Emperor Palpatine during the Declaration of a New Order

Although the clone trooper units were brought in under the guise of combating Separatist terrorist organizations, it allowed Chancellor Palpatine to further his control. When Order 66 was issued condemning all Jedi as traitors to the Republic, Darth Vader and the 501st Legion marched on the Jedi Temple. CSF units assisted clone troopers in hunting for Jedi who had escaped from the Temple. After the rise of the Empire, traditional CSF units were gradually phased out in favor of stormtrooper regiments, though some constabulary officers were still used. The Coruscant Guard was also given the primary responsibility to police the newly named Imperial City. In 1 BBY, Moff Kadir was in commanded of all stormtroopers assigned as CSF units. He attempted to use specially-trained clones to kill Emperor Palpatine and take control of the Empire, but the plot failed. In 4 ABY, the security force stormtroopers were attacked by angry crowds, spurred on by the news of Palpatine's death at the Battle of Endor. In the ensuing uprising, many people were killed as Ysanne Isard took command of the security forces and brought the planet back under control.

The New Republic
The New Republic captured Coruscant from Imperial forces in 6 ABY. During the battle, sixteen of the galaxy's worst criminals, who had been freed from the prison colony of Kessel by the New Republic, were loosed on Coruscant. They caused criminal riots and distracted CSF stormtroopers and other security forces, which helped the New Republic capture the planet. The New Republic again captured Coruscant in 11 ABY. With no stormtroopers to assist in policing the planet, the CSF was reorganized as the change was made from Empire to Republic.

Before the wedding of Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade, Leia Organa Solo, Mara Jade, and several of their friends were riding in an airspeeder through Galactic City. They were protected by two security units on speeder bikes. A group attempting to disrupt the wedding, led by ex-Moff Derran Takkar, made a note of this loose security cordon and that the officers could easily intercept any approach. During the actual wedding, Takkar infiltrated the wedding location by going through Coruscant's sewers. While down there, he killed two officers on patrol who noticed him but were not able to react fast enough before he shot them both.

In 26 ABY, Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya ordered the arrest of Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker. When they tried to flee Coruscant aboard the Jade Shadow, they were pursued by 4 interceptors and fought a brief battle. However, none killed in the incident and the Jedi managed to escape with the intervention of Rogue Squadron.

In the later stages of the Yuuzhan Vong War, the New Republic established the Coruscant Planetary Defense Force (PDF) as a sister agency to the CSF though its main concern was the military defense of Coruscant.

During the Battle of Coruscant, the New Republic fleet was separated from Coruscant by the Vong. This left the defense to the PDF and the CSF along with whatever New Republic fighters managed to get through. With this, Coruscant's defenses began to quickly crumble. The planetary shield, orbital defense platforms, and the Orbital Defense Headquarters were soon destroyed and the fighting moved down to the planet's surface. Though the PDF and CSF continued their fight from rooftops and airspeeders, most were wiped out by the overwhelming attack. Those who survived evacuated the planet or escaped down into the substructures till Coruscant was liberated by the Galactic Alliance.

The Galactic Alliance
"Sorry about that. My partner thinks everyone is a suspect."

- Chal Tozr

With the return of the government after the Yuuzhan Vong War, the CSF was reestablished under the Galactic Alliance. The CSF was heavily involved in the conflict between the GA and Corellia. CSF officers were present at a demonstration at the Senate Building. The protest was held by supporters of Correlia's attempt to self-defense. Though there was occasional shouting, the protest however remained peaceful. After an explosion in a hotel district near the Senate Building, the CSF started investigating the incident. Captain Lon Shevu was in command of the response efforts. He along with members of the Coruscant Fire and Rescue, Galactic City Air Traffic Control, medcenter managers, and members of the Galactic City Authority were present at the Strategic Center which was the emergency response center for Galactic City, located deep under the Senate Building. Later on, there was an attack by Corellian militants to the water supply causing half of central Coruscant's water supply to be turned off. The CSF warned residents to not use their water as it had been contaminated. However, contamination attack caused 456 deaths and left more than five thousand with nerve damage. A riot ensued at the Corellian embassy in response to this. The CSF responded, setting up a police line to protect the embassy, diverting traffic and sending in an assault ship. The riot however intensified the more the CSF tried to disperse it. The police in the end shot tear gas into the riot, finally dispersing the crowds. In the aftermath of the contamination attack and the riot, the CSF doubled its police presence in Galactic City.

It was after this that Cal Omas, the GA Chief of State, offered Jedi Jacen Solo a commission as a colonel and command of the CSF's Anti-Terrorist Unit. However, Solo felt that having civilian police perform the duties of a secret police, would make ordinary police work harder. It was decided that it was best to have an agency politically separate from the CSF to perform the duties of rounding up and interning Corellian suspects and fighting terrorist threats by corellians on Coruscant. Thus the Galactic Alliance Guard was formed with Jacen Solo as it commander. The CSF's first operation with the GAG was in Jabi Town in the Corellian district of Galactic City. The GAG along with CSF volunteers blocked off several skylane intersections with CSF traffic division repulsorlit ships before beginning the operation. It was the CSF who gave the GAG troopers the nickname stormies reminiscent of the stormtroopers of the Empire.

On day three of the Corellian Blockade, there was a large protest held in front of the Senate Building. The CSF positioned their police line to protect the Senate Building but also to divide the groups in the protest, one pro-Corellia the other Coruscanti. The scene soon grew ugly as the groups clashed and turned into a riot. The riot was eventually dispersed with tear gas and other police actions. However, more rioting had broken out in one of the commercial zones of Galactic City. As the conflict with Corellia intensified and became the Second Galactic Civil War, the CSF took less direct actions against Corellian terrorist activities as the GAG took over those operations. Instead the CSF focused on the regular police duties including breaking up demonstrations and providing the GAG with intelligence and other general support.

During the war, Grand Master Skywalker had asked Jedi Master Tresina Lobi to keep an eye on Ben Skywalker. However Master Lobi was ambushed by Lumiya and Alema Rar and killed. Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, were notified of the Jedi's death by the CSF and 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 Lumyia to an apartment and were able to gain entry. They discovered that the apartment was empty but set up with traps. Detective Raatu hacked into the apartment's central comm port only to find evidence that Lumyia had been the one murdering Bothans including the Bothan ambassador earlier that morning. They also discovered that the apartment was a GAG safe house.

Following the war and the death of Jacen Solo, the GAG was disbanded. Galactic Alliance Security was formed in c.43 ABY and it became the leading security force for the Galactic Alliance. Though technically a security force headquartered on Coruscant, mostly they were involved GA affairs, not local planetary issues. One of these issues was Chief of State Natasi Daala's feud with the New Jedi Order. They arrested Grand Master Luke Skywalker and later were tasked with arresting and holding Jedi who suffered from psychotic breakdowns. The CSF continued to serve as Coruscant's police force.

Notable members
Police work on Coruscant was dangerous especially in the underlevels. Many officers were killed or injured in the line of duty. Most officers performed their duties faithfully and some had bounties placed on their heads as revenge. Others, however, were corrupt and had bounties placed on their heads for failing to repay debts or upholding their end of the deals they made with criminal organizations or shady businesses.

Tan Divo


Tan Divo held the rank of lieutenant and served as an inspector for the CSF during the Clone Wars. A dedicated law officer, Divo believed that without rules order could not exist. Throughout his investigation of the murder of Senator Onaconda Farr, Divo went by the book. He was very annoyed when Senator Amidala did not inform him that she was conducting her own private investigation. He felt that she was out of line since he was the investigator and she was the senator. He did however have a sense of humor, though it was very dry. A prime example was when he said the reason he did not receive answers for his inquiry on why politicians were always trying to keep something hidden from the public, was that the only other sentients in the room were politicians. Divo was very logical and analytical. When he felt he had the right answer based on the evidence he would pursue it with enthusiasm, sometimes to the point of blindness for other theories. As with most police officers, he seemed to dislike paperwork.

Jaller Obrim
Jaller Obrim was originally a Senate Guard and during the Clone Wars was placed in command of CSF's Anti-Terrorism Unit. He formed a close relationship with Kal Skirata and the Clone Commandos who worked with him. Though Obrim was a dedicated police officer, he was not above bending or even breaking the rules if he felt it was the right thing to do. Due to his high position in law enforcement, he could help any of Skirata's black ops mishaps disappear from any official records. Obrim was one of the few non-clones trusted with Skirata's plans to help clone soldiers desert from the Grand Army of the Republic. While he refused to hear specifics for reasons of deniability, he informed Skirata that Palpatine had issued a warrant for his arrest, allowing him to escape. Obrim was very well aware of the dangers of being a police officer on Coruscant. He had a security system in his house to protect his family from the many enemies he had made.

Moff Kadir


Kadir was a moff in command of the CSF and its stormtrooper units. He was an ambitious Imperial officer and resented anyone questioning his authority. When Darth Vader ordered a whole battalion of stormtroopers to accompany Grand Moff Tarkin to the Death Star because of their shooting accuracy, Kadir objected since the stormtroopers were assigned to the CSF. However when Vader threatened Kadir with execution, the Moff consented. This began Kadir's hostile opinions towards the Sith. He joined a conspiracy along with Grand Moff Trachta, Grand Moff Bartam, General Skosef, and an assassin named Gauer, to kill the Emperor and Darth Vader. His ability to manipulate and maneuver was evident as he remained in the background of the disagreement between Trachta and Bartam. After Trachta was assassinated by Gauer, Skosef executed Bartam, only himself to be killed by a stormtrooper guard, Kadir took over the leadership conspiracy. The plot was to use clone stormtroopers not loyal to the Emperor to overthrow both Palpatine and Vader. However this failed when as most of the stormtroopers were killed by either the Royal Guard or Palpatine himself. Kadir, fixated with killing Palpatine attempted to shoot him with a blaster, but the shot missed the Emperor who executed the Moff with Force lightning.

Lon Shevu
Lon Shevu held the rank of captain and was in command of the emergency response center for Galactic City until he was transferred to the GAG. Shevu was a dedicated police officer and known for not shying away from tough situations. He had strong principles and ideas on how to treat suspects and how a a police force should operate. These constantly came into conflict with Jacen Solo's methods which Shevu did not approve of at all. This included Solo's treatment of Ben Skywalker as an adult, though the boy was only 14, and Solo's brutal interrogation methods. Eventually this would turn Shevu into a double agent, using his high position in the GAG to spy on Solo for Cha Niathal and the Jedi. In the end, Shevu missed his job with CSF and wanted to return to it. He was accidentally killed by Tahiri Veila who released Force lighting on Shevu to try to get information out of Ben Skywalker. However even in death, Shevu made a positive impact as his death caused Veila to question her motives for being a Sith.

Behind the scenes
Their first appearance in the 1997 special edition of Return of the Jedi is in the form of brief shots of stormtroopers being attacked by revolting Coruscanti. This had caused some confusion as the Coruscant Guard was the canon-established police force during the Imperial era but they were not shown in the clips. It was assumed that stormtroopers stationed on Coruscant simply were assigned to CSF and assisted Guard units in police duties which was confirmed in Star Wars: Empire: Betrayal. The Clone Wars TV series brought detailed CSF police operations to the screen for the first time. In the role-playing supplement A Hero Seeks Not Vengeance, it is possible for the player characters to examine CSF files on sightings of the Dark Jedi Garth Ezzar.
