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 and army counterpart to the domestic security provided by the Dlarit Security Force. While still a subsidiary to the Corporation as a whole, the Special Operations Group maintains a large state of autonomy within the Corporation as more often than not its members report directly to the Board of Directors instead of a specific military representative. Composed of a careful blend of Foxtrot Uniforms and non-Foxtrot Uniforms, the members of the Special Operations Group are the only beings in the Corporation who are truly aware of the dark nature that controls the entire organization.
History
The documented reasoning for Special Operation Group's establishment in the early part of 28 ABY was due to the failures by the Corporation's Security Force to be able to both police their assets and handle matters of external security. In truth the Group was conceived following the defeat at the Battle of Antei in 27 ABY.
When the true identity of Corporation's owners 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 their leaders and in early 28 ABY with the drafting of Executive Order 28-021, more commonly known as the Orian System Security Act, a section of the Dlarit Security Force was consolidated into a single independent unit to become Special Operations Group.
Unlike the Security Force a decision was made not to subdivide the Group on the understanding a consolidated structure would provide more security and limit the chance of leaks. Since the Group's inception, the unit has evolved and grown alongside the Corporation and its masters; as of the Corporation's reorganization in 34 ABY, the SOG found itself virtually under the direct authority of the Board of Directors. This change was essential by design as the refocused Naval and Armed forces assets controlled by the Corporation were now being provided by the Corporation's true masters and their leaders instead of the Corporation proper.
Organization
Central Command
As with most of the Dlarit Corporation, Central Command is virtually dominated by the presence of Foxtrot Uniforms who are better known as the Disciples of Sadow. Unlike many other facets of the Corporation however, the Group's Central Command operates with a mixture of high-ranking Commissioned Officers loyal to the Corporation and the Board of Directors itself. While the much of the upper echelons of the Board are unable to busy themselves with the day-to-day operation of the Group, much of that monotony is handled by the aforementioned Commissioned Officers, such as Fleet Admiral Araic Simonetti or General Byron Cargas, or by high ranking Commanders and Directors of the Corporation.
In the field, standard operating procedure (SOP) is for all command to cycle through the Board of Directors in its entirety before falling to Foxtrot Uniform Commanders and then finally the standard chain of command. As one would suspect, SOP maintains this unusual chain of command only for those present so as to not interfere with the affairs of the Board as they may
be completing tasks beyond the scope of the Group or Corporation proper. In large scale engagements, such as those where the Board may be responding to the call of outside forces, the Special Operations Group typically will maintain a small defensive flotilla and armed force within the Orian system at the behest of the Board while engaging enemy assets with a bulk of the Group's assets. Commissioned Officers within Central Command are also trained and conditioned to avoid attachment or allegiance to specific Foxtrot Uniforms as the members upon the Board are known to change at any given moment.
Within the Foxtrot Uniforms of the Group, a specific ranking structure is maintained in relation to the rank granted them by the Board and outside forces. These ranks are referred to as Commanders and are divided into three ranks: Commander, Senior Commander and Marshal Commander. Commander is reserved for the youngest and most inexperienced members...
