The 967 Commando was an elite unit of highly trained soldiers that was part of the Galactic Alliance Guard, the secret police organization of the Galactic Alliance. When supporters for Corellia's independence resorted to acts of terrorism on Coruscant, the capital world of the Galactic Alliance, the government naturally felt compelled to redress the stability of their domestic security and the safety of Coruscanti civilians. Under the reluctant direction of Chief of State Cal Omas, various members from Coruscant Security Force, Galactic Alliance Intelligence Service, the former New Republic Intelligence Service, and the Special Forces were re-tasked and mobilized to form the Galactic Alliance Guard (otherwise known as "GAG").
