Legend

this was the primary military body, created by the New Republic, to protect the Republic from external subterfuge. The credability ot the NRDF was severely degraded when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, since the Republic's military was poorly-equipped to handle the situation. The valiant struggle to win the war was not given much media coverage, further adding to the poor image of the NRDF. However, in the wake of the Battle of Borleias and the release of Wolam Tser's holodocumentary, The Battle of Borleais, the true efforts of the Defense Force were revealed to the public, and popular opinion of the NRDF was restored. In time, the New Republic Defense Force was considered an equal of the Senate, although the loss of Coruscant and the scattering of the Republic's leaders put a great strain on the NRDF's relationship with the government. Once the Galactic Alliance was solidifed on Calamari, the NRDF once again set to work protecting those people it could.
