Sol Defense Force

SOL DEFENSE After the 3rd Intergalactic War where Kermac and Galactic Council Forces penetrated deep into Union Territory and caused heavy casualties on Pluto and almost managed to ignite the Sun into a Super Nova, the people of the Sol System (of which Earth aka Terra is part of) called for an independent security force of their own, just as the Klack, the Sarans and the Pan Sarans maintained. This led to the creation of the Sol National Guard or more commonly known as Sol Defense. In order to circumvent the limitations Union Law puts on local, independent defense forces (Such as no Military grade weaponry) the Sol National Guard is nominal under the command of the United Stars Military and an official Branch of the United Stars of the Galaxies Army. However direct command is given to the Sol System –Administrator Defense Attaché. (Who must hold a USotG Military Rank of Commander or higher) Being a branch of the Army, the Sol Defense Forces are not allowed to maintain a space fleet with long range capabilities. Local Organization Every Sol citizen, after completing Union School must complete a 20 Month stint in the Sol Defense force. Refusal to participate will strip the individual of the right to maintain residency within the Sol System. This extends to anyone seeking permanent residency within the Union System and before a permanent residency permit is issued, a 20 month Sol Defense Force tour of duty is required. All Sol System residents are listed as active reservists and must participate in bi-annual 1 month exercises and refresher courses. Permanent and long term careers in the Sol Defense Force are possible, but since long term careers considered prestigious and entitle to various benefits. There are usually more volunteers than career postings available. Sol Defense maintains 5000 Deep Space Forts around the Sol System and 3500 Asteroid and Planetary defense bases within the Sol System (Including the Oort Cloud). These bases are usually equipped with long range Translocator cannons, Sniper version TL’s and Loki Torpedo Starters. These bases also maintain a tight sensor and detector net around the Sol System. Every base maintains between one and four Fighter Wings. (Usually Terran Talon Eagle Fighters, but also Wolfcrafts that are modified and have their long range Capabilities removed) The Headquarter of the Sol Defense Force is on SOL CASTLE. Current Commander is Brigadier General Louis Marie Deberaux.
