The 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (also known as "Combat Application Group" and "Delta"), initially formed in the late 20th century and re-formed again in 689 AS, is a Special Operations Forces division made up from the most distinguished and skilled personnel from all of Liberty's military branches. Highly trained and efficient and equipped with state-of-the-art weaponry, Delta operators conduct various asymmetric warfare operations in order to enforce Libertonian interests, on the ground as well as in space. Delta formally belongs to the Liberty Army, but they only answer to LSOCOM, the Department of Defense and the President himself, and are given a degree of freedom in their operations unthinkable of in any other unit.
Delta's objectives include, but are not limited to, counterterrorism operations against both foreign and domestic groups, dealing with hostage situations, protecting high-level VIPs, forward reconnaissance, deep space intelligence gathering, raids, covert operations and surgical strikes of all kinds as well as assisting LSF Paramilitary Officers on their missions. They are also known to be among the first units on the ground during a planetary assault, securing critical locations like communication posts and command centers.
What Delta is not is a police force. While low-level criminal activity is something the military does not tolerate, SOF units have other tasks to do than fighting Rogues, Outcasts and petty smugglers.

Organization
After the 1st's integration into the Liberty Security Force, it's tight military chain of command was dropped in favor of a simpler 3-tier-system in order to allow operators a higher degree of flexibility:
Tier 1 operators are support personnel, civilian and military liaisons and "moles". They are not formally recognized as LSF agents or government contractors, but make up the primary pool of possible Tier 2 recruits.
Tier 2 operators are fully trained, highly specialized clandestine agents (colloquially known as "spies"). They typically operate alone or in small teams, where leadership roles are assigned based on operator specialty and mission requirements.
Tier 3 operators make up the majority of the administrative staff tasked with strategic planning. They are rarely deployed on field missions, but if the experience and expertize of a senior operator is required, they are more than capable of fulfilling these needs.
Above these three tiers is a single person of unknown identity titled "the Controller". He (or she - the Controller's voice is masked by a vocoder) is in charge of the unit, and is only obliged to respond to the President himself.

Capital ships
The 1st only operates two capital ships - the LCSV Independence, a heavily customized Liberty Assault Carrier acting as mobile FOB in wartimes, and the LCSA Ft. Louisburg, a Freedom-Class Assault Battlecruiser primarily used for defensive operations in Liberty space and as a listening post. No further capital ships will be commissioned into Delta. Both vessels have planetary assault capabilities.
