The Dlarit Special Operations Group, more commonly known simply as D-SOG, is the Dlarit Corporation's external hazard intervention, espionage, intelligence and logistics unit. It serves as the special forces counterpart to the domestic security provided by the Dlarit Security Force.
D-SOG is the only branch of the corporation aware their masters are Sith. They are hand picked from the ranks of the DSF and undergo additional conditioning to ensure their loyalty.
D-SOG also provides a direct cover for the members of Clan Naga Sadow.
History
The official reason for Dlarit Special Operation Group's establishment in the early part of 28 ABY was due to the failures on the DSF's part to be able to both police the corporation's assets and handle matters of external security. In truth D-SOG was concieved following the defeat at the Battle of Antei in 27 ABY.
When the corporation's owners true identity was compromised during the Yuuzhan Vong attack mass panic broke out among the troops and only the impending doom staved off a total mutiny. This served to highlight the urgent need for a unit aware of the true nature of the corporation's owners and in early 28 ABY a section of the DSF was consolidated into a single unit to become D-SOG.
Unlike the DSF a decision was made not to subdivide D-SOG on the understanding a consolidated structure would provide more security and limit the chance of leaks.
Organisation
The Dlarit Special Operations Group is organised into two divisions. The Special Operations Division, also known as SOD, handles most external operations outside the Orian and Kangaras systems. The Kangaras Division is specifically charged with the defense of the Kangaras system.
D-SOG is led by the commander general to whom all individual commanders report. SOD is based around the Final Way and its commanding officer serves as the head of the entire division. The ships which make up SOD often operate independently on smaller missions. The Kangaras Division handles the security of Kangaras and the spacelanes between it and Orian much the same way the DSF handles the day-to-day security of the Orian system and the spacelanes to the Hydian Way.
D-SOG provides its own marines and pilots unlike the Dlarit Navy. All flight and surface commanders in D-SOG are members of D-SOG the same as all ships' crew and troops. However D-SOG does utilise similar ranks to the DSF.
D-SOG also provides troops to guard Marakith Skyhook and Ragnos Cathedral along with most of the clan's other dedicated facilities.
Special Forces
D-SOG is often required to conduct tasks such as espionage and low key insertions both of which are alien to the Dlarit Army. Due to the diversity of these operations all D-SOG companies have a special forces branch making the typical D-SOG detachment slightly larger than its equivalent in the Dlarit Army.
The smallest special forces unit is a squad of four commandos which is usually deemed sufficient to support a company of 144 regular soldiers. One commando in each squad is designated as its sergeant. Commandos recieve superior training to regular soldiers and are issued with better gear. In addition to the regular commando squads there are a handful of individual advanced recon commandos. These ARC troopers are designed to operate indepedently of support and recieve superior training and equipment to even the ordinary commandos. There are only a dozen or so ARC troopers in active service with usually no more than one assigned to any particular ship.
Dark Jedi Commanders
The members of D-SOG are aware their leaders are Force-sensitives. Unlike the DSF, D-SOG is not limited by a particular remit and has near unlimited powers to conduct whatever operation its commanders deem necessary. D-SOG may not be fanatical Sith cultists loyal to the Final Way but they are loyal and genuinely believe in what their commanders are trying to do. To many ordinary people Jedi, Sith and Krath are all the same thing. What matters to the members of D-SOG is that the members of Clan Naga Sadow are actually taking action and trying to build a better galaxy.
Due to this all members of the clan hold some degree of authority within D-SOG.

Rank within D-SOG is not exclusively governed by one's standing within the clan alone and the Commander General may promote members of the clan for other reasons.
