Lieutenant Commander Jack Bauer was one out of only seven Starfleet Intelligence (SFI) special agents. In the year 2368, Bauer was temporarily stationed on the USS Minnesota. He had led an investigation on the Minnesota about the involvement of Starfleet personnel aboard that ship, possibly working for the Maquis. It was later found out that nobody was working for the Maquis, so Lt. Cmdr. Bauer was ordered back to SFI headquarters on Starbase 11 under command of Captain Robert Wright.
