Special Tasks Group

The STG (Special Task Groups) are salarian espionage units usually deployed by the Citadel Council. They are used to monitor 'developing situations' because they tend to attract less attention than more prominent figures, such as Spectres. The STG form a large part of the salarian military due to their heavy focus on gathering intelligence before making a move. Commander Shepard claims the Normandy's stealth systems could make the frigate even more effective than the STG, because the salarians are hampered by the fact their ships show up on enemy sensors.

STG operators who showed exceptional skill were some of the first Spectre candidates. The records of STG missions are sealed and even the greatest agents are only known by codenames, such as the 'Ever Alert'. Another, known as the 'Silent Step', was so successful he once defeated a nation with a single shot. STG operators are highly flexible, accustomed to carrying out their missions on shoestring resources and changing their tactics when necessary.

Though there are no salarian crew members on the Normandy, Shepard has a chance to work with the 3rd Infiltration Regiment (STG) stationed on Virmire.
