"For too long the unscrupulous have been taking advantage of chinks in the bureau's armor. I say, 'no more.' The SBI will be a vital weapon in the fight against those who would fragment our Republic, and not a tool of convenience for the wealthy and corrupt. There comes a time when a structure is so riddled by greddleback bugs that you have to tear it down and build anew. If that what it takes to root out the corrupt, that's what I will do."

―Armand Isard

The Crisis Branch was a division of SBI, formed during emergencies. In 22 BBY, Director of the Senate Bureau of Intelligence Armand Isard formed a Crisis Branch, the first time in over sixty years it had been called into being. Isard's division was composed of Intelligence directors from the Core Worlds, and worked directly with the Jedi High Council and Loyalist Committee. Its first act was to fire local directors from 32 Mid Rim worlds considered corrupt.
