The Deadeyes were a Republic Army squad of snipers who fought against the Sith Empire during the Cold War. It was led by Aric Jorgan prior to his transfer to Ord Mantell, after which his former executive officer, Torve, assumed command. The squad consisted of elite marksmen who performed "decapitation strikes," in which the Deadeye snipers would eliminate the officers of enemy units before Republic attacks in order to leave the opposition leaderless and disorganized. On occasion, the Deadeyes would wait outside an enemy base for weeks while waiting for a clear shot.
