I noticed that he only used {Da-} once too. Perhaps he was trying for a more clipped feel: i.e. "Chosen to join the Yan-Isleth..." Or maybe {yan 'ISletlh} is the subject of the purpose clause: In order for the Yan-Isleth to protect the chancellor, you are chosen to join it.
FYI: The Yan-Isleth, or "Brotherhood of the Sword", is an elite Klingon division charged with protecting the chancellor, whom they guard at all times; it's his personal security force. (DS9 "Apocalypse Rising")
