Gameplay
In Persona 3, this group is related to two Social Links: the S.E.E.S. (Fool) and the Nyx Annihilation Team (Judgement). The Fool Social Link begins when S.E.E.S. begins on April 18th, and Judgement begins on December 31st. Both Social Links advance automatically and are tied to the S.E.E.S. progress to the secrets of Tartarus and the Dark Hour.

At some unspecified time, S.E.E.S. was founded by Mitsuru Kirijo and Shuji Ikutsuki with expressed purpose of defeating shadows and discovering the secrets within Tartarus. Believing the answer to ending the Dark Hour and destroying Tartarus was inside, Mitsuru spent many years recruiting members to join her cause. Akihiko Sanada was recruited while he and Mitsuru were in middle school. Concerned about his friend's safety, Shinjiro Aragaki joined soon after. Due to a tragic incident two years before Persona 3 beings, Shinjiro leaves S.E.E.S. and refuses to return. Two years later after receiving and important letter in the mail, Yukari Takeba manages to find a way to join S.E.E.S. shortly before the Protagonist moves to Tatsumi Port Island.
When the Protagonist arrives to the Iwatodai Dorm, they are put under watch as they determine their potential to join S.E.E.S. They did not wait long as the Protagonist awakened their Persona only days after arriving and agreed to join the team. Coincidentally around the same time, Akihiko found Junpei Iori camped out and terrified inside a convenience store and was subsequently recruited as well.
With three members healthy enough to venture into Tartarus, the Protagonist is appointed as Field Leader.
[....]
On December 31st after deciding to face death and Nyx, S.E.E.S. becomes the Nyx Annihilation Team and the Social Link evolves into Judgement as they climb the final level of Tartarus.
Persona 3 FES
After the events of The Journey, Mitsuru seeks to officially retire S.E.E.S., collect all their equipment, and close the school dorm.
Persona 3 Portable
In an alternate universe, the female Protagonist takes center role and becomes the S.E.E.S Field Leader. She is given noticeably more opportunities to bond with the rest of S.E.E.S. due to more Social Links with party members. There are no significant gameplay or story differences between the male and female protagonist.
Persona 3 Reload
In Persona 3 Reload, the Protagonist is given significantly more opportunities to bond with the rest of S.E.E.S. due to special Link Episodes with party members who lack a Social Link. More activities have been added to Iwatodai Dorm presenting more options to hang out with party members outside of school or field operations.
In Persona 3 Reload, each member is given a number on their new S.E.E.S. uniforms based on the order in which they first summoned their Persona and joined S.E.E.S.[2]
