- PSF
- CDF Groundside
- Corellian Troopers
- Classification: Army
- Affiliation: Corellian Confederation
- Galactic Alliance
- Army Symbol:
- Despite the CDF's official colors being black, orange, yellow, and white, the PSF used a symbol that maintained a styalized Corellian star in green - a homage to their more recent roots in CorSec. Their armor and uniforms were a more conservative tan, black, and green.
- Description: The Public Security Forces was a branch of the CDF dedicated to the defense of Corellian Confederation assets and interests on the ground. Sometimes called CDF Groundside, they were garrisoned across the Confederation and Confederation Colony worlds to protect against pirates, raiders, and in the worst case - planetary invasion. They were the first line of defense planetside and had a history of being more loyal to the people and old Corellian notions of honor. In one's military career, it was considered a step up from CorSec if one found CorSec Intelligence unsavory. Outside the heroic Halcyon Corps, they were the favored military organization in the Confederation and usually polled high with citizens of every species. They would occasionally work with CorSec to take down especially dangerous criminals. In recent years as re-settlement of Corellia's main continent continued in the Coronet Frontier, they were largely who the Frontiersmen would rely on. However, out on the Frontier, new and old farmers and homesteaders found their presence grating.

MEMBERSN/A
Corellian Defense Force Public Security Forces has served Corellia for time immemorial. Its most recent incarnation began when Lisza Starseeker and the Corellian Council seceded from the New Republic after the CIS' invasion of Kuat. In the following weeks the New Republic began to fall apart having lost its flagship and one of its highest ranking military leaders in one fell swoop. With war on the horizon Corellia began to shore up its own defenses and invest heavily into its own military. After the declaration that Corellia would be leaving the Republic and be reconstituting the Corellian Confederation many Corellians in the New Republic resigned from their posts and returned home to join the reconstituted Corellian Defense Force.
Many of the officers initially were pulled from CorSec precincts, making the first group of recruits heavily invested in the protection of their home. This fierce determination to protect their own became ingrained in the PSF, resulting in much higher recruitment than the Navy. As the Confederation grew in influence throughout the Core more and more bases were deployed throughout the stars. It was these brave men and women that were able to defend against initial Bryn'adul incursions into the Core Worlds and prove that there was strength in Corellia. After the Confederation would become founding members of both a new, 'High Republic' and later the Galctic Alliance, it maintained a heavy influence in the militaries of both nations with many worlds such as Balmorra and others maintaining CDF Groundside bases through mutual defense and aid pacts.
In large part due to the efforts of the CDF Navy, there were many Corellian colonies along the Corellian Trade Spine and Corellian Run where smaller garrisons were located. The PSF became the largest branch of the Corellian Defense Force, though they did the least.
