The Cybe Sector Defense Forces were the planetary security forces in charge of the defence of the Cybe sector. While not as old as the larger Aradani Royal Military Forces, a rivalry existed between the two military branches. In 35 BBY, the Cybe sector joined the Galactic Republic, and the Cybe Sector Defense Forces became the sole military force of the sector.
The defence force continued to operate up until 4 ABY, when it was disbanded by warlord Norven Loyaler in the aftermath of Endor.
History[]
Established by Cybe prior to the Clone Wars, the Cybe Sector Defense Forces were charged with the protection of the Cybe sector, rivaling the larger Aradani Royal Military Forces which was under control of the Kingdom of Aradan.
There were a handful of occasions during which the Cybe Sector Defense Forces and the Aradani Royal Navy worked together in defence of their sector, primarily against pirate groups, both groups choosing the sector above their rivalry.
In 35 BBY, the kingdom of Aradan, which included the entirety of the Cybe sector, entered the Galactic Republic. As a result, the Aradani Royal Military Forces were disbanded, but the Cybe Sector Defense Forces remained in active state and became the official defence force of the sector.
The Cybe Sector Defense Forces were primarily funded by Cybe, and the majority of the fleet comprised of products manufactured by Cybe Drives, including the domestically-produced version of the Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser, the Hammerhead II-class heavy cruiser and the Victory II-class frigate.
In 18 BBY, the kingdom of Aradan was disbanded by the Galactic Empire, Cybe became an Imperial shipyard and the Cybe Sector Defense Forces were Imperialised. As time progressed, more advanced ships became available to the defense forces, utilising a number of Predator-class battlecruisers and Imperial I-class Star Destroyers in the fleet by the time of the battle of Yavin.
In 4 ABY, the Sector Defense Forces were disbanded by the Imperial warlord Norven Loyaler, founding the Aradan Union and replacing the Defense Forces with the Aradan Union Navy.
