Republic Intelligence

"An intelligence officer of Teller’s skill would know better than to leave his ship to be found, much less his fingerprints."

- Darth Vader discussing former Republic Intelligence officer Berch Teller

Republic Intelligence was an espionage service of the Galactic Republic. During the Clone Wars, it conducted operations to undermine the activities of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

History
During the Clone Wars, Captain Berch Teller served as a Republic Intelligence station chief who worked with species whose planets joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems, training them to serve as partisans for the Galactic Republic. At the end of the war, he expected the Republic and later Galactic Empire to spare them from punishment due to their work for the Republic during the conflict. However, forces under the command of Wilhuff Tarkin killed many of these fighters on Antar 4 along with former Separatists, which became known as the Antar Atrocity. This event angered Teller and soon after the event, he deserted and created his own resistance cell to fight against the Empire.

After the war, Republic Intelligence was reorganized as Military Intelligence.
