The guards, apparently hearing a command through their ear-piece comm units, snap to attention suddenly as the doors on the wall opposite your seat ease open. Standing there, Chancellor Uri'tal looks about, her thin avian frame unwavering as she sureys the room. She speaks through the gently curving beak that adorns her face, her words soft and almost singsong.

"Welcome, guests. I am pleased to see that you are all here. Please accompany me into the anteroom so that I may show you what it is that our Republic requires of you

You are led into the adjacent room, which is a simple briefing room. There is a large round table with a holoprojector resting at its center. Otherwise, the room is stark, devoid of details, save that it is also circular with pure white walls.

There you are asked to sit; the Chancellor begins to speak.

"Many of you are asking yourselves why you have been summoned or what it is that the Republic would have you do. To this I must respond with 'Absolutely nothing.' The Republic," she explains as the lights dim, "would not ask its citizens to investigate the recent events on Coruscant, prefering to leave the investigation of splinter-cell terrorist operations to the bloated, easily visible military might it has summoned to this planet."

The holo-projector whirs as it comes online, projecting on all the walls the image of a gargantuan building. The Chancellor continues on, giving the details of what you see, but you already know and recognize Ferraldy Tower. This very holo-feed has played across the holonet repeatedly for the past five months, and you have all seen it before. The mass exodus of terrified people as the building begins its fall, slowly, almost gracefully, at first and then faster and faster.

"The Senate, though, is wrong. Our military forces cannot stop this band of rebels for they are neither a unified band, nor rebels. They are anarchists who wish to influence galactic politics through fear and threat. To fight this menace, we need groups of people, much like yourself, to act autonomously and secretly to destroy this group. I tell you now, by coming here, you have agreed to serve the Republic. However, you will not serve them directly. The only person who you will serve will be me. You all are now part of a 3-Zeta level top secret anti-terror unit with the appropriate clearance and full independence of all authority below me."
