Section 31 was an organization which protects the security interests of the United Federation of Planets. During the mid-23rd century, they were considered a critical division of Starfleet Intelligence, while by the 24th century, they were believed to be a rogue organization not considered part of the Federation. In the 32nd century, Section 31 absorbed Starfleet Intelligence and became officially recognised once more.
