	Original motto, when the Alliance developed them (later than other agencies in Fleet), was "To Act and Protect," but once humans came along one of them, tasked with training, said in response to 'we can't do that, sir' by saying 'the correct answer to that, mister, is 'we can, and we will.'" 'We Can' became the unofficial motto, until it became the official one. (When asked, any member of SF will tell you the 'we will' is implied, and a threat.)

	SF personnel tend to reflect their agency, which is small, tight-knit, and nimble.

			Most SF personnel are soldiers. The occasional spy in their midst, who operates alone rather than in a team, is never as easy to ID as a FIA spook: the kind of person who always has a cover job.
