Special Research Operations, otherwise referred to as "Special Research Ops"[1] or "SRO"[2] is a Dominion research unit. Its parameters of operation include research into the zerg.[3]

It possesses a Xenobiology Department which has conducted such observations.[4]

Special Research Operations was the first group to document the zerg tactic of setting "tripwires," where the zerg would discover a rich source of minerals, burrow forces near the deposit, and ambush anyone who came to mine the resources.[5]

The group also monitored the attack on Thys and the progress of Project Tamed, using controlled hydralisks as weapons, a project which ended in failure.[4]

In 2505, when a feral mutalisk spire was discovered on Choss, SRO sent Doctor Brad Champlain to find and recover a canny mutalisk corpse for study. He was successful, and the mutalisk corpse was brought to Project Blackstone.[3]
