Жұлдызды жол: 31-бөлім – құпия қызмет

Fictional secret service

Section 31, in the fictional universe of Star Trek, is an autonomous intelligence and defense organization that carries out covert operations for the United Federation of Planets. Created by Ira Steven Behr for the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Inquisition", the organization was intended to act as a counterbalance to the utopian portrayal of the Federation. Section 31 settings and characters have appeared in dozens of episodes, novels and comics. In 2019, CBS announced a new series was in development about Section 31, starring Michelle Yeoh. However, this has since been changed to a movie to be streamed on Paramount+.

Ira Steven Behr was inspired by a line of dialogue from Deep Space Nine episode "The Maquis" spoken by Commander Benjamin Sisko: "It's easy to be a saint in paradise." Behr said in the 1999 reference companion to the series, "Why is Earth a paradise in the twenty fourth century? Well, maybe it's because there's someone watching over it and doing the nasty stuff that no one wants to think about." Such measures included malicious sabotage of enemy installations and technology, biological warfare, and preemptive assassination. According to Ronald D. Moore there was considerable debate on the origin of the organization, in particular on how the organization was formed and how long ago. Costume designer Bob Blackman chose the black leather costumes worn by Section 31 agents to appear fascistic. Moore replied to criticisms of betrayal saying, "The idea that there's a rogue element within the Federation doing dark deeds outside the normal chain of command is certainly a provocative one."
