The Pop-Dogs served as a unit within the Army of the New Republic, and subsequently within the Army of the Galactic Alliance.
In 27 ABY, following the conquest of Coruscant by the Yuuzhan Vong, Colonel Stavin Thaal stepped forward to command a group of soldiers operating from Vandor-3. Thaal and his unit, who adopted the name Pop-Dogs, provided intelligence on Yuuzhan Vong activities in the region and conducted raids throughout the remainder of the conflict. Following the Yuuzhan Vong's loss, Thaal received a promotion to general and eventually became Chief of Army Operations, keeping the Pop-Dogs as his personal command.
