• Description: The Halcyon Commandos were the elite of elite warriors utilized by the Corellian Confederation military. Developed in response to several percieved threats to the Corellian Confederation such as the First Order's Death Trooper Program, Sithspawn, and the newly discovered threat of the Bryn'adûl, the Halcyon Commandos represented the best Corellia had to offer in both technological advancement and military might. Clad in powerful Halcyon armor and equipped with the best weapons and best intelligence outside of Corellian Naval Intelligence itself, they fought on the front lines and were often deployed to clear territory that was too dangerous or well defended even for the Shock Trooper Corps. Corellia's halberd, they led the charge of battle and were the ultimate heroes of the Corellian military. While initially the first class of Halcyon Commandos fell under the jurisdiction of Corellian Naval Intelligence, their subsequent classes would necessitate the creation of a sub branch of Corellian Naval Intelligence. Halcyon Operations would be closely intertwined with Corellian Naval Intelligence and the Corellian Navy, though some Halcyon Commando fireteams would serve exclusively with CorSec Troopers.

SOCIAL INFORMATION

• Headquarters: Fort Derik'hur
• Goals: To provide Corellian ground forces with support and leadership.
• Reputation: While military analysts saw the Halcyon Program as a waste of credits, time, and posed a needless risk to the Corellian Military's best and brightest, intense propaganda campaigns saw the Halcyon Commandos recieve incredible amounts of fame and notoriety throughout the Confederation. Despite their relatively few achievements in their early days they were hailed as heroes and their image was plastered onto hundreds of recruitment materials. Their quick rise to fame was a testament to Corellian Naval Intelligence's propaganda machine. Halcyon Commandos were augmented at the extremely classified location on Gus Tralva, though the recruits were put on ice before arrival and thus had no idea where they were. After augmentation they spent some time there to rehabilitate and become used to their augmentations before they were transferred to Fort Derik'hur and CNI's outpost there for further training and tuning. Because of this, Fort Derik'hur, and by extension Talus, was considered a second home for many Halcyon Commandos.

COMPOSITION INFORMATION

• Army Size: Small
• Composition: Small in number, the Halcyon Commandos worked in fireteams with several fireteams often being assigned to battlecruisers.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Begun in secret by Corellian Naval Intelligence as a potential invasion deterrent, the Halcyon Program was a collaborative effort between Naval Intelligence and Locke and Key Mechanics. Spurred on by a radical shift in military doctrine by then Director of CorSec Caine Basali, the Halcyon Program's funding was hidden in the military modernization bill the Corellian Council passed just before being freed from the Imperial Bloc. The process in which Halcyon Commandos would be born was a long and bloody process. It began with tests on Corellia's end on death row inmates where Corellian scientists were able to test the limits of the human body and admittedly attempt the project on their own. After several failures CNI began searching for partners and found the discretion and ability they were searching for in Locke and Key Mechanics.

With the data from Corellian experiments they were able to quickly create a set of enhancements and cybernetics that would enhance a soldier's abilities without the detriment of violent death. The first class wasn't complete until the Battle of Kuat and were exclusively utilized by Corellian Naval Intelligence in various top secret missions to gauge their success. Once these had been completed, the Halcyon Program, the successes of it at least, were presented to Corellian High Command and as a result of their mission successes and various test results, the program was retroactively approved and brought to the public eye. To be selected for Halcyon was an honor among honors because it meant that your actions exemplified the best traits of a Corellian. Members of the first and second Halcyon classes were awarded the Corellian Bloodstripe after completing their training and augmentation, though further classes were not awarded this honor as after the second class the Halcyon Program was openly recruiting from the Corellian military, though its requirements remained extremely stringent.

Their numbers would eventually necessitate the creation of Halcyon Operations, a sub branch of Corellian Naval Intelligence. They operated closely with all branches of the military and typically spent time aboard the battlecruisers of the Corellian Navy.
