The elite group of officers constituted an officer corps that served within the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet. Prior to their mission for investigating the Rapacc system, the senior officer corps of the Springhawk gathered on the bridge alongside the caregiver Thalias and sky-walker Che'ri to receive instructions. Lieutenant Commander Tumaz'mor'diamir voiced his disapproval of Che'ri and Thalias being there, asserting that the operation should be restricted to the senior officer corps alone.
