Kind of. A supporting organization that serves as a framework for squads, and also the history behind them. I tend to think of ME3's multiplayer as teams of characters like Omega and Prometheus, but not tied to the command structure of any specific military. Freelancers. While they cooperate with the Alliance and Council, they have no oversight, and that could make them just as dangerous as helpful.
