The 9th’s origins can be traced back to the year 2879 as part of a nameless security detachment assigned to the UEE SynthWorld project in the Chronus system. Their goal (given the threat of piracy, negative alien sentiment, and lawlessness in the region) was to defend the Synthworld’s construction while providing law and order to its airspace; creating a pre-established safe zone that would eventually facilitate peaceful living under UEE regulations. Highly trained by the Advocacy, the security forces were split into 12 groups in order to guard each of the Synthworld’s sectors effectively. It didn’t take long for the 12 security groups to create an umbrella of order and peace across Synthworld airspace. Safety and justice reigned under their watch.
In 2883, the Commander of the 12 security groups lost his wife and grandchildren to pirates operating just outside of their jurisdiction. Disillusioned by how the Advocacy left the case to pirate-harboring local authorities, the commander could no longer tolerate the crimes being committed beyond law’s reach and staged a bold political ploy in order to intervene. He submitted to the UEE that he felt it beneficial to raise Synthworld awareness and goodwill by having a few security groups tour the nearby systems for publicity’s sake. The UEE, already struggling to keep its project in a positive light, saw this as an acceptable act of diplomacy and granted the appropriate permissions for the tours. At the same time, the Commander repurposed the 9th security group to be a more aggressive and preemptive law enforcement unit (comprised of the best operatives for the most sensitive and dangerous assignments). The new 9th’s first mission: find the pirates responsible for the death of their Commander’s family members and bring them to justice. It was an overwhelming success.
By 2904, the 12 Security Groups of Chronus had become highly effective law enforcement contractors and vigilantes in the local systems. Some groups were occasionally hired to expand their areas of patrol by organizations impressed with their results (particularly members of the Allied Commerce Coalition). Their actions galvanized local law enforcement agencies and civilians alike. All such actions were kept off the books, however, as the security groups maintained their guise of touring to raise Synthworld awareness and this ruse was well respected. With the outlook of the Synthworld project worsening, the Commander was able to delegate more resources into upholding UEE law as far as his groups could travel. The 9th, meanwhile, was the most popular of all and had grown into a highly fearsome spec ops team that specialized in completing missions no one else would.. or could.. take on.
But the doors of fate would nearly close for them all in 2913. Three years after the infamous Vanduul attack on Squadron 42’s carrier, another large vanduul fleet was detected amassing near the outskirts of small human colonies and intercepted by the 8th and 9th security groups. In a surprise attack, the Vanduul were defeated before their campaign through human colonies could take place. That victory, however necessary, came at a terrible cost. The 8th had been completely destroyed and the 9th suffered substantial losses, but those heroic actions proved their worth to the galaxy. It was also the first large-scale battle to happen in plain view of the public; with a few onlookers taking notice of the 9th’s insignia.
No commendations would come of this, however, as the UEE now faced a political storm of controversy and criticism if word got out that those security groups were tied to the Synthworld project (a project numerous star systems away from the battle). With too much money and resources at stake, the eventual outcome was not surprising. No charges were filed. No statements or court-martials were given. All media regarding the event were either ignored or confiscated. To the UEE, none of it had ever happened. The 12 security groups were quietly disbanded and replaced by the UEE’s own 18th Battle Fleet that same year. What the UEE didn’t know, however, was that the 9th security group’s fame, connections, and amassed wealth alone had already made them too big to fail. The 9th absorbed all former security group members in 2914 and continued its operations as a true shadow police force. To achieve self-sustenance and extend their reach across the galaxy, the 9th was fully industrialized by 2923; joining the ACC as an official, public entity in 2944. Known now as 9th Security Industries, they forever stand watch as the sword and shield of the law; protecting the galaxy from the shadows with limitless jurisdiction, near limitless wealth, and overwhelming military power.
