Felucian Defense Forces

The Defense Forces were the militia of the Outer Rim Territories planet of Felucia. Comprised of native Felucian warriors from united tribes, it was 300 thousand strong. They were tasked with defending Felucia from threats of the Galactic Republic, being formed by the Separatists. However, they were highly disorganized, though capable warriors.

Originally, it was formed from native Felucian warriors during the Clone Wars, since the Confederacy of Independent Systems wanted to defend the planet successfully without a heavy Separatist Droid Army presence. Afterwards, the Galactic Empire occupied the planet, and the majority of the militia was killed in action. However, Jedi Master Shaak Ti arrived and took command, managing to overthrow the small Imperial force. The Empire sent a new garrison of elite crack troops, over 70 thousand strong. They managed to defeat the Defense Forces, and the Jedi was later killed as well.

After the New Republic liberated the planet in 7 ABY from Imperial rule, the Defense Forces were reestablished by tribes concerned with another occupation. Though the new forces were smaller by over two hundred thousand, they were more efficient, organized, and trained.
