- Description: The Lilaste Order Commandos were reformed from the veterans of the Lilaste Elghaseki forces. Through merging with the Diarchy, new, larger threats would come knocking. While the Elghaseki were effective in anti-piracy operations, destroying bases and sabotaging infrastructure, the new enemies they'd face were on a larger scale. They'd heard of powerful Sith and Jedi that could wipe out entire conventional armies with a wave of a hand, or daunting battle stations that would be best taken down from within. The Elghaseki were reforged into deadlier warriors, retaining their focus on stealth based missions from their precursors, but with the added goal of counter-Force user operations. Each commando has undergone a Force severance process, ripping the energy from them and making them a void in the web of living things. They are extremely difficult to detect through the Force, at the added cost of a heavy, invisible weight that seems to sit on their minds and hearts every day. It is as if the life has been drained from them, living only to kill. The brave men and women in the stealth armor now tend to only make meaningful bonds between those in their squad and ranks, seeing others as outsiders.

- Combat Function: Lilaste Commandos are often inserted stealthily or for fast-paced insertion missions. They are often tasked with assassinations (especially against Force-users) or sabotage. They can also be used in general assault missions where Force-users are expected to be encountered in order to support the rest of the army against them.
- Extremely hard to detect through the Force due to being Force-dead.
- The best of the best at what they do
- Very few members in a squad
- Not much special use in a conventional battle without Force-users; not really a substitute for regular infantry
The Lilaste Commandos based on Aurora Station above Bastion trace their origins to the Elghaseki, an elite special forces corps long employed by the Lilaste Order for covert and unconventional operations. When the Order entered its merger with the Diarchy, the strategic reality of the galaxy shifted dramatically. No longer were conventional armies or rival intelligence services the primary concern. The rise of powerful Force-using adversaries—Sith and Jedi capable of annihilating entire formations through the Force alone—demanded a new kind of response.
In anticipation of these emerging threats, the Lilaste Commandos were formally established, drawing exclusively from the most capable veterans of the Elghaseki. Their mandate expanded beyond traditional special operations to include preparation for direct and indirect engagement with high-level Force users, although discreetly. Training, doctrine, and equipment were adapted with a singular purpose: to counter individuals who could not be defeated by numbers alone.
Despite this evolution, the Commandos retained their original operational domain. Stealth insertions, targeted assassinations, sabotage of critical infrastructure, and deep reconnaissance missions remain central to their mission profile. What distinguishes the Lilaste Commandos from their predecessors is not a rejection of these methods, but their refinement for conflicts in which secrecy and precision are often the only viable answers.
