Galactic Alliance Guard

Galactic Alliance Guard was a secret police organization around 40 ABY. It was created by the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances during the Second Corellian Insurrection in order to spy on Corellian terrorist activity on Coruscant. Leadership was initially offered to Mara Jade Skywalker though the thought of a Jedi running a secret police unit troubled her, and she declined. Even though Jade and the other Jedi Masters were against Jedi being involved with the organization, Grand Master Luke Skywalker's own son, Ben Skywalker, joined the force under direction of the Jedi Knight Jacen Solo, who assumed command of the unit.

Jacen Solo was given the Galactic Allinace rank of Colonel and went on to lead the Galactic Alliance Guard on several raids in Galactic City, Coruscant on the homes of Corellian citizens. Under Jacen's leadership the soldiers saw a likeness within Jacen with Darth Vader's own command style noting that he "never asked of them what he would not do himself." Though necessary in some respects, the GAG's actions were mainly a vehicle for Jacen's rise in as a Sith.

The GAG detained, deported, and in some cases murdered those they captured on raids, and along with their dark military uniforms, earned a fast reputation as a uncompromising band of hard-liners. Many of their prey referred to them as "Stormies", thus drawing inevitable comparisons of Jacen Solo to Darth Vadar and the troops themselves to Stormtroopers.

It was on a GAG raid that the young Ben Skywalker made his first combat kill, an event which shook him to the core.
