Remnant Security Bureau

The Remnant Security Bureau (often shortened to "RSB") is the successor to the Imperial Security Bureau. Its official role in the Remnant is similar to that of the or Israel's Mossad, however some agents operate according to the policies of the former German.

Under the banner of the RSB is Remnant Intelligence which has a role similar to the U.S. . Notably, both agencies are responsible for gathering intelligence ahead of Remnant Military operations although some military commanders such as Grand Admiral Firmus Piett and General Tevin Felth often make up their operations as they go along with Piett citing the successful use of improvised tactics by commanders in the Rebel Alliance such as Hera Syndulla and Lando Calrissian. While Felth notes how a planned operation can be changed on the fly based on new information.

Agents of the RSB typically hold the military rank of Major and are subject to rigorous screening to determine their mental fitness to continue their duties as some have become so paranoid that they even begin to distrust their own families. This often creates conflicts with higher-ranked members of the military when RSB agents such as Hochster and Zollet use threats and intimidation to get their way. This has caused issues over the years and into the future with Felth, Typher Marlion, and Landon McKnight who have not only arrested RSB agents for insubordination, but have also filed multi-page reports detailing the behavior of the agents and suggesting that the agents be given a psychiatric evaluation. Notably by 2030, retired pilots and Generals Typher Marlion, Marten Rawlkins, and Steven Laramie take amusement in giving RSB agents a very hard time. As of 2031, Tevin Felth placed his brother-in-law Anthony Rivers in charge of RSB as part of a top down overhaul of the agency. Rivers would bring in Alex Mackey as his second-in-command and would eventually discuss the idea of recruiting his nephew Christopher Felth (who by this time is a Reservist with the rank of Captain) to the agency.

Uniform
Agents of the RSB have both a military uniform and a civilian suit that are interchanged depending on their assignment. Some variants on uniforms exist as Major Hochster's military uniform includes both an old-style Imperial rank insignia and copy of a -era German Officer's cap with the logo of the old Galactic Empire on it. While Major Zollet's civilian suit includes a. Alex Mackey usually wore his regular clothes with a Remnant-issue jacket, donning his dress uniform when an assignment took him to. Christopher Felth dons a Remnant-issue jacket over his usual clothes when he joins Eric Schuyler on the Chimaera while the two question a pair of pilots who took part in an attack on an American Spaceways flight.

Notable agents

 * Hans Dietrich - Major Dietrich is noted for a "Leave No Witnesses Policy" in which he silences witnesses to executions he has carried out without due process of law. He did this in earning him the ire of Marten Rawlkins and later tries to execute a witness to a murder he carried out in Philadelphia where he is caught by Eric Schuyler carrying papers bearing the forged signature of Typher Marlion. He is arrested later when trying for a second time to execute the witness to the murder he had carried out in Philadelphia by Schuyler and Donna Marlion. Dietrich is eventually convicted of multiple murders at a special court-martial and sentenced to Death by Grand Admiral Thrawn who served as the judge.


 * Hochster - Major Hochster frequently shows up and demands that he be given command over various resources. Most notably he has a habit of screaming "What is this man doing here?" at the sight of Darius Carpenter or Steven Laramie and continuing to scream and shout until he gets his way which failed to impress Tevin Felth on one occasion in 2020 and earned the Major a charge of insubordination from Landon McKnight in 2030. That same year, Kelly Felth later detained Hochster pending a psych evaluation after receiving a report that the Major had shouted in the face of her grandson Caleb Carpenter along with a second one stating that Hochster may have breached security at where he had screamed at Laramie and Marten Rawlkins. He was later demoted and reassigned after a pair of incidents involving Landon McKnight.


 * Schlager - Major Schlager first arrived in Philadelphia where he had ordered his Death Troopers to fire on a civilian who was climbing a fence at the . Delivering his prisoner to the Philadelphia office, he encounters Eric Schuyler who buries Schlager in paperwork while interviewing the person who was shot and informing them of their . When pressed to contact his superior officer, Eric puts Schlager in contact with Tevin Felth under the guise of trying to contact Lucy who becomes irritated and then downright angry with Schlager and reassigns him to Russia on the spot. Schlager is later demoted for other behaviors by Anthony Rivers including in which he uncovers the then-secret relationship between Justin Felth and Ryan Pratchard Jr..


 * Eric Schuyler - Major Eric Schuyler arrived in Philadelphia in 2030 to question the pilot of a ship that had taken off from Onyx and dumped a cargo of stolen goods before making a jump to lightspeed heading for Earth upon sight of Eli Vanto's ships. Following a mission to Ord Mantell that involved Vanto and members of the Spectres, Schuyler is transferred out of the RSB and into Typher Marlion's Philadelphia command on the recommendations of Vanto, Lucy Carpenter, and Landon McKnight who all felt that Schuyler didn't fit in at the RSB. Eric is later included as a member of the "Extended Felth Family" and Typher Marlion regards him in a similar manner when talking to J.J. Oliver's dad Tommy Oliver.


 * Karl Wagner - Colonel Wagner serves as Hans Dietrich's defense attorney at Dietrich's court-martial for murder saying after the trial that he only did it because Dietrich is entitled to a defense. He also states that he is happy to see that Eric Schuyler got away from the cesspool. He is reprimanded by Thrawn during the trial for repeatedly ignoring the Rules of Evidence including trying to use RSB Files that were never turned over to the prosecutor Shirley Forbes.


 * Zollet - Major Zollet showed up in Philadelphia in 2030 following the trail of Hondo Ohnaka. During his visit, he expressed distrust of just about everyone from President Ezra Bridger to The Felths as a whole before stating that he didn't even trust his own family which earned him detention pending a psych review when Marlion's report about Zollet reached Tevin Felth's desk. Zollet's behavior also caused Tevin to authorize the promotion of his daughter Lucy Carpenter to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel giving her superior rank over many RSB agents.
