The Special Operations Force, or S.O.F., was a special military force under the directive of the United Federation. Before the beginning of the series, the leader of the S.O.F. was Dewey Novak. His younger brother, Holland Novak, and another officer, Charles Beams, both served as unit leaders. Talho is known to have served as an intelligence officer, but got demoted due to her illicit relationship with her superior officer, who was likely to be Dewey. Eureka was transferred to the SOF following Adroc Thurston's disappearance, and was placed in Holland's care.
