Imperial SpecNav Troopers are very much a secret, the Rebel Alliance and even most of the Imperial Navy is blind to their existence. The men selected for this duty are large as Stormtroopers, and are hazardous, deceptively swift and deathly quiet, crafty and profoundly skilled. SpecNav Troops are the Imperial Navy's most elite unit. The conception of the SpecNav program is a noteworthy effort between the Imperial Navy and Ubiqtorate (Imperial Intelligence). In the Imperial Navy's case, it wanted to eliminate its reliance on the Imperial Army to land and establish beachheads on planets; thus formidable soldiers were needed. Meanwhile, Ubiqtorate wanted to have mobile Intelligence operatives based onboard far-flung ships that on a moment's notice could be deployed on sensitive missions. As of around the Battle of Yavin, this experiment thus far has proven to be triumphant. Base D8-Red, located in the Ringali Nebula is known to house several hundred SpecNav Troopers. *After Endor* Two and a half years after the debacle at the Battle of Endor, it is known that Sixtus Quin leading the remainder of his Imperial SpecNav squad defected to the New Republic. Quin along with the three troopers chose to switch sides to the vile New Republic after an incident on Tatooine.
