contents We study an extension of the Standard Model with a dark SU(2) gauge group, where a dark scalar doublet interacts with the Standard Model Higgs through a portal coupling, inducing mixing after symmetry breaking. A custodial symmetry ensures the stability of the dark gauge bosons, making them viable dark matter candidates. Scanning the parameter space of the model under collider and astrophysical constraints, we find regions that yield the observed relic density and strong first-order phase transitions. The resulting gravitational-wave signals fall within the reach of upcoming space-based detectors.
