It kinda seems unfair, but I've tried (as always) to give my character one
or two weaknesses.

From: Commander Cor'son (Imperial Fugitive Division)
        Uncle,
In response to your letter asking about the use of the Dark Adept
Commandos, the teams are highly professional and highly dangerous.  The use
of Team 95, resulted in the tracking of a rogue Imperial captain in less
than a week, when normally the time would be three weeks.  I find their
lack of grenade skill alarming, after the injury to three of my
stormtroopers from an accidental miss, but otherwise they are the best team
for the job.

                                        Give Aunt Ophecles my regards,
                                                Tere

Capsule:
        The Dark Adept Commandos are specially trained soldier, chosen from
the Royal Guardsmen, that serve as a personal retaliation team for the
Emperor.  Using specialized Lightdaggers (shortened versions of the
Lightsaber), the commandos are charged with assassinations and the assault
on Rebel Strongholds.  During Heavy Assaults, the concussion rifles are
used.
        The are posted at worlds important in the production of Imperial
goods/war machines.  Small contingents may be found at refueling stations,
or planets under martial law.
        Over 4 platoons (160 commandos) are known to be currently active.


I suppose the DA commando could be used to bring the PC's back down to
Earth if the have a string of victories and are not worried about Imperial
pursuit.  Also if the DA commandos can be used for a psychological force.
If the PC's see what a DA commando could do, it may make them think brave
attacks on Imperial Installations near the Core.

Anyone have any stats for a COMPForce soldier or an Intelligence Operative?
