Section 31

Section 31 is the code name of an officially nonexistent and uncondoned rogue agency within Starfleet Intelligence that claims to operate towards the security of the United Federation of Planets.

History
Little information is available about the activities of the organization; one of its operatives has claimed that Section 31 deals with threats to the Federation that others do not even realize exist. The group's historical precedent derives from the 22nd century, when an ancestral organization within the Earth Starfleet acted covertly in the interests of United Earth. 

Accountability
Section 31's actions are autonomous and neither controlled nor acknowledged by Starfleet Command or the Federation government.
