Kirk cabal

The Kirk Cabal is a loosely-organized group of Federation Starfleet officers dedicated to tracking and opposing the activities of the criminal conspiracy within Starfleet known as Section 31. The Kirk Cabal was founded in 2269 when Federation Starfleet Captain James T. Kirk of the starship USS Enterprise uncovered the existence of Section 31 following the Lantaru Sector disaster. (TOS novel: Section 31: Cloak.)

In 2375, the Kirk Cabal's numbers were very small. Amongst its members were Elias Vaughn and Julian Bahsir. (DS9 novel: Section 31: Abyss.)
