They unit is composed of deadly trained assassins loyal to the Black Sun, completely, who would die before giving away its secrets. They wear black robes composed of numerous materials that allow for stealth at the cost of durability, and wear masks that conceal identities, and afford each assassin a swath of information data to assist their existing talents. They utilize a range of (mostly) silent weaponry, and excel in close-quarters combat in multiple martial forms. Additionally, the assassins are capable of working individually or in groups, and utilizing a range of movement enhancing methods - parkour, grapple lines, etc.

The Black Sun Assassins are a small group of highly trained sentients, each incredibly capable in martial combat and assassination/stealth techniques. They wear a black colored uniform, which uses a range of materials to support their method of operation, and have access to the best quality equipment for their purposes. While the assassins are primarily used to close-quarters combat, they can utilize long-range gear if required - such as sniper rifles. Each assassin is wholly loyal and has undergone extensive mental training to resist even the most powerful mind reading attempts. The assassins would die before giving away secrets, and their masks include a deadly poison release system, which can be activated by the assassin at any time to end their life - such as avoiding capture and interrogation.
This is usually the last resort, and the mechanism for the poison isn't haphazardly available to be triggered by 'just anyone'.
When it comes to their operations, silent and unseen is the approach. They move in shadow, blend into the environment, and ambush target/s suddenly with great - and oft times silent - violence. While their stealth suits allow them to blend into an environment, able to adapt to any given surrounding, it is not complete invisibility. Additionally, their weapons are adaptable to a range of situations, including against lightsabers and other exotic weaponry, due to being composed of songsteel and cortosis-weave.
The assassins can work as a full unit, or split off into smaller teams or individually, which doesn't hinder their capacity or skills. Granted, a larger team would be most effective, due to strength in numbers, but it is not uncommon for a lone assassin to perform a successful kill mission. The assassins take orders from the Black Sun Vigos and Head of Black Sun, as well as being led by a unit leader known as 'Deathstick'. That individual is not a singular sentient, but is instead an alias, who takes the mantle once considered the most skilled assassin of them all.
The general public never sees the Black Sun Assassins, and those in the underworld who do, know they were meant to see them... and should probably start running.
