The subsequent campaign, known as the Swarm War, nearly erupted into full scale galactic conflict. The first major conflict that the Defense Force fought following the resolution of the Yuuzhan Vong war occurred in 35 ABY, when the Killik hives were rediscovered in the Unknown Regions. As the galaxy continued its reconstruction, the Defense Force worked alongside the New Jedi Order in bringing stability and maintaining the peace. With the majority of the known galaxy allied with the new government, the Defense Force concentrated on routing out the numerous pirate bands that rose up following the war. It was expanded to five strategic fleets, a direct nod to the previous five fleet structure of the old NRDF.

The fleets of the Defense Force defended Mon Calamari from invasion and led the Battle of Yuuzhan'tar.įollowing the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, the Defense Force remained active. Despite some setbacks, like the Battle of Bilbringi, the Defense Force continued to gather its strength in preparation for the coming end of the war. The fleets of the Galactic Alliance slowly began to turn the tide of battle, liberating key worlds like Fondor and Yag'Dhul. The Galactic Alliance Defense Force was initially established out of the former New Republic Defense Force following the reorganization of the government into the new Galactic Alliance.

Following the major victory at the Battle of Ebaq, the New Republic was reorganized into the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. The new stability in the government was coupled by the return of aging retired admiral Gial Ackbar, who worked with Chief Omas and then-current Supreme Commander Sien Sovv to ready the New Republic military for a major offensive. When Cal Omas was elected the new Chief of State, the government began to reform and reorganize. All of this began to change following the Chief of State election. Others, like Garm Bel Iblis, gathered remaining fleet units and held on to individual regions of space, acting independent of the government. Some, like Admiral Traest Kre'fey, continued to take orders from the Defense Force high command. As the government struggled to re-establish order and elect a new Chief of State, the New Republic Defense Force remained on the defensive, scattered amongst numerous worlds and commanders. History After the Fall of Coruscant įollowing the near total breakdown of the New Republic government in the aftermath of the Battle of Coruscant, the remaining senators and military units regrouped on Mon Calamari, which had thus far been outside the invasion corridor.
