Desolation Squad

D-squad, or the Desolation Squad as it would later come to be known, was special forces unit of the Cyran military during The Last War, and the primary actors in the Tomb of Annihilation campaign. The Squad operated primarily behind enemy lines in Karrnath and Breland, though it saw action in all the major theaters of the war. D-squad specialized in small scale, targeted sabotage missions, often ending in much more destruction then was initially planned.

The squad was shrouded in secrecy, with all of it's missions being highly classified. This, coupled with the destruction of all records in The Mourning, means few people have any knowledge of their actions during the war.

After The Mourning and the destruction of Cyre, the squad disbanded, with members going their separate ways. Recently, a number of them reformed the squad, signing up for one last mission in Xen'drik.

Origins
D-squad was created in the final years of The Last War, named such to hide it's purpose within the military organisation. The squad was the brain child of Daedalus d'Cannith, whose motivation for helping the Cyran military directly are still unknown. With the great houses having declared their neutrality, any public knowledge of House Cannith's involvement would have sparked outrage and international condemnation. As such, Daedalus took on immense personal risk in forming the squad.

The members of the squad came from a wide variety of backgrounds. Some were recruited directly from the Cyran military, while others were acquaintances of Daedalus or House Cannith, and some even civilians with a useful talent. This gave the squad a wide range skills to work with, and while not everyone was equally invested in Cyres military future, they all served dutifully.
