The Sphere of Research and Intelligence (SRI) is a joint task force between the remains of the former Taldryan Intelligence Directorate and the members of House Ektrosis.
History
After the destruction of Karufr and the rest of Clan Taldryan's holdings, their surviving forces spent much of the following year on the run from the forces of the Iron Throne. A respite from the almost ceaseless chase only came when The Collective announced themselves with a surprise attack on the entire [{Dark Jedi Brotherhood]]. As a year of endless armed conflict finally came to an end, the Force Users within Taldryan made a play to replace the military officer that was currently serving as Consul, a Chiss named Rhylance, with one of their own. The new Consul was Rian Taldrya who had most recently served as the Quaestor of House Ektrosis.
As one of his first commands upon ascending to the head of Taldryan Rian reached out to his former Aedile, Justinios Drake, with a proposition. Rian wished to make Justiniois the new Questor of Ektrosis but the former professor had little interest in giving up his time that could be used to further his research on additional leadership responsibilities. The Taldryan Consul had a proposal that he knew would get the Aleena's attention, the chance to develop an organization that would merge advanced research into both the physical and metaphysical aspects of the galaxy with covert operations. WIth the Clan forces depleted and stretched thin there was a dire need to attempt to create strategic and tactical advantages where was possible but with little resources to give to the new organization, it would need to be self-sufficient.
With the opportunity to once again oversee a full team of researchers Justinios agreed to step into the role of Ektrosis' Quaestor and immediately began to work with the remnants of the Taldryan Intelligence Directorate and the highly skilled members of House Ektrosis to lay the foundation for this new organization. This new outfit was given the Sphere of Research and Intelligence to reflect very literally the two functions it was merging into one operation. WIth skilled field operatives on board the SRI's first official mission was to locate and recruit its founding Director. Justinios identified a former co-worker from his days in academia to begin building the research side of the organization. Kagu Shi was a highly skilled researcher and Dean of Sciences at a University on Corellia, until he found himself in a bit of hot water with the local authorities. SRI field agents were dispatched to extract Shi and recruit him into the SRI.
