New Republic Intelligence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Republic Intelligence (NRI) is a fictional organization in the Star Wars universe. It was founded as a means of consolidating the Rebel Alliance's network of spies and informants into a viable intelligence agency following the rise of the New Republic. The successor to the New Republic's short-lived Senate Interplanetary Intelligence Network (SPIN), the NRI was organized under the jurisdiction of the General Ministry. The chain of command in the NRI extended from field operatives and informants all the way to the Director and Deputy of the bureau, who in turn were answerable to the General Ministry and the Chief of State.
Through its history, the New Republic walked a political tightrope in overcoming the stigma that remained from the Empire's harshly overzealous Imperial Security Bureau (ISB), and the Old Republic's bureaucratic Senate Bureau of Intelligence (SBI). At the end of the Yuuzhan Vong war, when the New Republic reformed into the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, its director was Belindi Kalenda.
