Corellian Defense Force - Office of the Navy

[Raona Cadera]

Among the first hyperspace explorers of the Galaxy, the Corellians held a strong military tradition. Era after era Corellia stood as a military and shipbuilding powerhouse in the Core. Now with these traditions pushed to the direct benefit of the Corellian Sector, Corellia boasts one of the fastest growing navies in the Galaxy. With dedicated officers, impeccable ship design, and a united front the Corellian Defense Force would prove a difficult foe to best.

Birthed from the need for Corellia to defend herself and her sister systems within the Corellian Sector, the Corellian Defense Force was reactivated after the Galactic Alliance's fall. Pulling from the naval branch of CorSec as its base, the Corellian Defense Force became the planet's main fighting force and the main peacekeeping power in the Corellian Sector. They differentiated themselves from CorSec by omitting the white and green and instead adopted a more aggressive black and orange.

The CDF consisted of three main branches; the Navy, Naval Logistics, and the Shock Trooper Corps.

Navy: The Navy was the largest branch of the CDF and acted as a force projection tool for the Confederation, interstellar security, and acted as limited atmospheric support for CorSec Troopers and the Corellian Shock Trooper Corps. Consisting of several fleets, task forces, and battlegroups, the Navy was the main offensive and defensive tool available to the Corellian Confederation and was comprised of thousands of capital grade warships, support ships, and starfighters.

Shock Trooper Corps: The Corellian Shock Trooper Corps were an elite fighting force and specialized component service attached to the Corellian Navy dedicated to defending Corellian Interests abroad. The Shock Trooper Corps functioned as the tip of the spear for the Corellian Military. Better equipped and better trained than CorSec Troopers were organized for mobility. Many Shock Troopers were deployed via drop pods directly onto enemy fortifications where they often faced high casualties but paved the way for future Corellian forces such as the CorSec Troopers to make camp for future engagements. They were deployed most often on Corellian Naval vessels as both on board security and a tool of force projection onto captured and boarded vessels. They also served on Navy bases and space stations throughout Corellian Space, though ground deployments were rare and highly coveted. The Corellian Shock Trooper Corps' special forces units were held in high regard within the Corellian military and were often called upon and utilized by Corellian Naval Intelligence for covert missions. Many of the Corellian Shock Trooper Corps' traditions, unit names, and ceremonies used Olys Corellisi and they had a strong sense of unity, even after discharge.

FLEETCOM & Naval Logistics: The lifeblood of the Corellian Navy, FLEETCOM Naval Logistics managed the fleet movements and supply needs of the entire Corellian Defense Force. Tasked with operating the various medical and resupply stations within Corellian Confederation borders and along external trade routes.

Flying to Victory: The Corellian Starfighter Corps​

For as long as space combat has been waged, the deciding factor in battle time and time again has been the starfighter. Able to nimbly fly through both space and atmosphere the daring souls that put themselves in the crosshairs of enemy capital ships have been sung as heroes throughout history. Pivotal in such legendary battles as the Battle of Yavin and Endor, The Battle of Scarif, and hundreds more lost to time, the pilots of the Galaxy’s Starfighter Corps have been instrumental in forging the path of the Galaxy. ​

​

Among the best pilots in the ‘verse, the Corellian Starfighter Corps, also known as Corellian Starfighter Command, proudly fly for the Corellian Confederation to defend the worlds that have come together in this tumultuous time in the Core. Comprised of Corellia’s non-Navy pilots, the CSC operates as its own distinct branch of the Corellian Defense Force. Unlike its sister branches, the pilots and starfighters of the CSC sport classic white and green uniforms and a variety of paint jobs on their starfighters. ​

​

While a separate entity from the Corellian Navy and Army branches, pilots of the Starfighter Corps often served alongside Navy and Army pilots, calling cruisers, space stations, and land bases home for various stints of time. Alongside the Navy, the Starfighter Corps operated in an expeditionary role, able to quickly respond to threats and project power over far flung systems. The Starfighter Corps did operate a limited amount of ground bases and carriers on their own however alongside their responsibilities operating Golan Fighter Platforms. ​
