The Reapers were defeated in the Sol System with the activation of the Crucible at the end of 2186 CE, that shut down all Reaper tech, including the Mass Effect Relays and the Citadel. For the next 5 years the galaxy was completely isolated from itself, no ship could make it to other systems without the Relays. Fortunately, tech for FTL drives that allowed system-to-system jumps without the use of the Relays was already being developed by the galactic races so in 5 years the Milky Way was able to unite most of its isolated solar systems once more. Though rebuilding after the galactic war took another decade. By 2201 CE order has begun to be restored as the Citadel rebuilding effort has finished and the new Citadel Council was formed. The Milky Way still bears scars from its war but things have begun to settle down.

However, those 5 years in isolation planted the seeds for many conflicts to come. While the various systems were isolated nearly all Reaper Tech was scavenged, most by individuals with questionable motives and morals. Black Market Reaper tech has become common place and many would be warlords and pirates have managed to get their hands on this dangerous technology. They used this tech to wage wars and grow in power and influence. With Reaper tech at their disposal they proved quite a strong opponent for the Galactic Governments that were still very weak from the War with the Reapers. Some of the more powerful criminals have even managed to take control of systems and form their own petty kingdoms in both the Terminus Systems and parts of the Attican Traverse.

The Council races have had to war against these would be conquerors in for the better part of a decade. They have made progress against them but a bit over half the galaxy still remains outside Council control. To try to deal a major blow against these powerful new enemies, in 2211 CE the Citadel Council formed a special task force of Spectres to deal with these troublesome individuals and put an end to this plague of criminals that have taken hold of much of the Galaxy.
