"I don't know, May! I don't know! There's got to be something here! This means something! This has to mean something! The world needs us! HYDRA is out there! We cannot let them win! We we cannot let them define us! Do you understand that? We are not agents of nothing! We are agents of Starfleet Security Reserve, and that still carries weight! It has to carry weight! After everything we've been through, that carries weight!"

— Phil Coulson

After Phil Coulson recovered from his injuries sustained before the Battle of Sector 001, Melinda May put together a team to investigate the cases Starfleet Security Reserve had not yet classified. When HYDRA came out of the shadows and into the light during the events of the HYDRA Uprising, they enacted Odyssey Protocol and erased all online proof of their existence, vanishing.

History

Coulson's team

Some time after the Battle of Sector 001, Melinda May assembled a team of agents to keep an eye on Phil Coulson's recovery for Nick Fury. Coulson, however, believed he had set up the small, highly trained team of agents to tackle the cases that had not been classified yet. The team originally consisted of Coulson, Melinda May, Grant Ward (a specialist to put down Coulson if necessary), Leo Fitz (a technician to reprogram Coulson's brain), and Jemma Simmons (to repair Coulson's body).

They were first sent to investigate a superhuman, Mike Peterson, who was able to survive an exploding building, and a hacktivist group, called the Rising Tide, that seemed to have information. Skye, a member of the Rising Tide, met with Peterson to warn him about Starfleet Security Reserve, saying that they cover up superhero-based events and that she can help him, which he declined.

Later, Skye was abducted by Coulson and Ward and questioned on their ship. She did not cooperate initially, but eventually revealed what she knew. After visiting the explosion scene, Coulson's team was able to recreate it and learn that it was caused by another subject exploding due to Extremis. While attempting to get info to the team, Skye was kidnapped by Peterson, now on the run from the authorities. Coulson's team was able to track them down and subdue Peterson, without him causing mass damage, while stopping an assassin that was sent by Dr. Debbie. With Peterson in Starfleet Security Reserve custody, Coulson offered Skye a place on the team and they went to investigate an 0-8-4.

In 2390, Agent Coulson was ordered by Admiral Nicholas Fury to recruit Vice Admiral Kira into the Starfleet Security Reserve and his team because of his background in Starfleet Intelligence. (Star Trek: Intrepid episode: "Agents of SSR")

Purpose

The team's goal is to deal with superhuman cases that Starfleet Security Reserve has not classified and are usually called upon to deal with cases involving superhuman or supernatural events. The team also had a secondary purpose assigned by Director Nick Fury and known only to Melinda May: the observation of Agent Phil Coulson after his resurrection.

Skills

Each member of the team has their own special skill set that contributes to the team. Antoine Triplett, Typhuss James Kira, Bobbi Morse and Melinda May being the team's combat specialists, Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons the scientists, and Skye self-proclaimed "Hacktivist" of the team.

	Phil Coulson	Level Blue	Phil Coulson is one of the highest ranking operatives under Starfleet Security Reserve employ, often working closely with Nick Fury himself. When he was seemingly killed during the Chitauri Invasion. However, Coulson's death lasted for nearly a week before scientists working at the Guest House revived him using advanced technology in conjunction with DNA recovered from an alien creature. After his body was revitalized, the scientists ensured that Coulson did not remember all of the painful procedures by forcing a memory of a grass shack in Tahiti into Coulson's memory. After recovering from his wounds, Coulson returned to assemble a new team of young agents to lead them against other supernatural threats. While on this team, Coulson worked to discover the truth about the events after his death. After the events of the HYDRA Uprising, he was tasked with rebuilding the agency.
	Melinda May	Level Red	Melinda May is an elite Starfleet Security Reserve agent, and one of the agency's veteran field operatives. A veteran pilot and soldier with years of experience, she withdrew from field duty after an incident in Bahrain which left her mentally shaken. The ordeal earned her the nickname "The Cavalry", a name that she highly detests. However, she returned to the field when Agent Coulson recruited her onto his team, becoming the pilot of the Bus and taking part in most of the team's field operations. Until recently she was reporting in secret to Nick Fury on Coulson's mental state, and in fact, she was behind the unusual makeup of the team for this purpose. When this was discovered by Coulson, relations between them became poor, but they have since reconciled.
	Jemma Simmons	Level Orange	Jemma Simmons is a Starfleet Security Reserve scientist. A genius bio-chemist, she is one of the youngest and most prominent members of Starfleet Security Reserve’s research division, having graduated early from the Starfleet Security Reserve Academy of Science and Technology. She was picked by Melinda May as a person who could help to repair Phil Coulson's body if need be. Simmons has a love for science and a wide-eyed enthusiasm for the world that make this opportunity to work in the field the adventure of a lifetime. She rarely ever goes onto the field, preferring the safety of her lab.
	Skye	Level Blue	Skye is a genius-level hacker who worked for the Rising Tide "hacktivist" group so she could unveil the mystery behind her background. Skye's origin is shrouded in mystery, other than the fact that her entire family was massacred when she was an infant, and she was temporarily taken in by SSR until the team protecting her was confronted by similar dangers. During SSR's first encounter with Mike Peterson, Skye attempted to help him evade Starfleet Security Reserve, only to fall under their radar. Instead of arresting her, Coulson recruited her into his team. During a mission, chasing Cybertek and security teams, she was shot by Ian Quinn, twice in the stomach, under orders of the Clairvoyant (John Garrett).
	Leo Fitz	Level Green	Leopold "Leo" Fitz is a Starfleet Security Reserve scientist. A genius-level engineer, Fitz attended the Starfleet Security Reserve Academy of Science and Technology along with his teammate Jemma Simmons. He was chosen by Melinda May as a technician who could reprogram the resurrected Phil Coulson's brain if necessary. The top of his class, Fitz works well alongside Simmons. Despite his brilliance, Fitz is socially awkward and does not excel at communication. He rarely ever goes onto the field, preferring the safety of his lab. After being dumped into the ocean with Simmons by Ward, Fitz gave her the only oxygen supply, leaving him possibly brain damaged from oxygen deprivation.
	Typhuss James Kira	Level Red	Typhuss James Kira is a new Starfleet Security Reserve agent and constantly volunteers to work with others on missions. Typhuss is fiercely loyal to SSR and Coulson.

	Elena Rodriguez	Level Back	Rodriguez is a Inhuman, Rodriguez gained the power to run and move at at least 180 meters per second, being unable to be clearly noticed by the human eye and appearing as a blur. Her super speed lasts exactly the same amount of time as one of her heartbeats; after which she retrogrades back to her original position, which happens regardless of her state, as she snapped back even after being affected by Lucio's paralyzing gaze.
	Alphonso Mackenzie	Level Blue	Alphonso Mackenzie is an agent of the Starfleet Security Reserve. Despite the heavy casualties SSR took during HYDRA's attack on it, he stayed loyal to his oath and continued his service to the SSR. Mackenzie is fiercely loyal to SSR and Coulson.

	Grant Ward	Level 7	Grant Ward pretended to be a Starfleet Security Reserve field operative and specialist. He was actually a HYDRA infiltrator. As a child, he was constantly abused by his older brother, Christian, and that constant trauma has left him bitter and poor at interpersonal relations. Fortunately, he compensates in combat and espionage, and acts fiercely loyal to SSR and Coulson. He was chosen for the team by Melinda May as a specialist who could help her to put down Coulson if absolutely necessary. Before he was recruited into the team by Coulson, Ward served as a solo operative, working occasionally with his former superior, John Garrett. He abandoned the team during the HYDRA Uprising, and was later imprisoned in order to obtain information about HYDRA. While on Maveth, he was finally killed by Phil Coulson. Status: Deceased
	Antoine Triplett	Level 6	Antoine Triplett was a Starfleet Security Reserve field operative who formally worked with Agent John Garrett.

He had replaced Grant Ward as the team's specialist and constantly volunteers to work with others on missions. He died during Battle for the Kree City while trying to save Agent Skye from the deadly Terrigen Mist. Status: Deceased
