The Neimoidian special ops, also referred to as the Neimoidian special forces, constituted the special forces element within the Defense Legion of the Cato Neimoidian government. However, these operatives also furthered the objectives of the Trade Federation, an entity deeply intertwined with the Neimoidian administration. Within these special forces was Ruug Quarnom, an elite commando who undertook clandestine missions within the Outer Rim Territories and even carried out assassinations. Subsequently, due to her increasingly vocal inquiries directed at the Federation, Quarnom was transferred to the Neimoidian Royal Guard stationed on Cato Neimoidia.
