SOG-00 — “Thousand Sons” Officially designated SOG-00 and referred to as the Thousand Sons, these operators represent Tier-0 within the Elysian military—considered the pinnacle of special operations capability. They serve as the Red Right Hand of The Spider, operating as a personal task force of the Deepstate. Deployment is reserved only for missions of extreme risk, or those of direct interest to The Spider himself. Their lineage traces back to SABRE, through the era of the North Star Imperium. Their techniques, traditions, and doctrine predate some modern nations. Selection is personal. Candidates are chosen by The Spider and subjected to a training regime designed to break and rebuild them. Operators are trained to fight across all domains—land, sea, air, and space. Training culminates in a month-long evaluation cycle—informally referred to as “Der Käfig”—repeated across each operational domain. Failure is not the end. Candidates who do not complete the program are reassigned to other branches of the Elysian military, serving as Agents within the Truth Enforcers. The true number of active Thousand Sons operatives remains unknown. Operatives are granted the use of the newest tech, and occasionally "forbidden" tech for their missions. They are one of 2 Special Operations Groups that are allowed to know "The Truth."
