Galactic Empire Special Operations Command

The Galactic Empire Special Operations Command, colloquially known as the Imperial Special Operations Command (ISOC), was one of the subordinate component commands of the Galactic Empire during the Legacy Era.

A result of dramatic reform throughout the Imperial military after the ascension of Galactic Emperor Roan Fel to the Imperial throne, the Imperial Special Operations Command would be a newly-activated joint forces command that would assume control of special missions units attached to the Imperial Army, the Imperial Navy, and Imperial Intelligence, coordinating Imperial special operations cohesively across a galactic scale. This uniform organization was performed to synchronize Imperial special operations and to encourage the joint-arms integration of special forces from all three major branches of service, to create new joint-capability special forces units.

Other Imperial military services, such as the Imperial Engineering Corps and the Imperial Surgical Corps, which did not possess direct-action units, did not directly contribute to Special Operations Command's frontline combat units, instead often rendering auxiliary support through noncombatant means.
