Sullustan Home Guard/Legends

''This article is about the Sullustan Home Guard. Form the security force of Aargau, see Aargau Home Guard''

The Sullustan Home Guard was the protective navy maintained by the SoroSuub Corporation during the first years of the Rebel Alliance. It was a small force of native Sullustan pilots with their ships.

It was created after Proclamation 173d was issued on 2 BBY. Upon that proclamation, SoroSuub took control of the planet Sullust, and thus Sullust, like SoroSuub before it, became a supporter of the Galactic Empire. However, a resistance movement was created soon afterwards, a group of Sullustans who disagreed with SoroSuub's vision. Some of them, like former SoroSuub employee Nien Nunb, even used guerrilla tactics against SoroSuub's actives.

Thus, SoroSuub hired a small navy, the Home Guard, to protect themselves. However, some members of the Guard were also supporters of the Sullustan resistance movement, and sometimes negligent when asked to fight it.

Due to this, and to the strenght of the resistance raids, the Home Guard officers were forced to call for reinforcements. The oportune arrival of an Imperial-class destroyer during one of the guerrilla attacks, caused a big difference and Nunb's personal ship, the Sublight Queen, was destroyed (thou Nunb himself survived the defeat).

However, when many Sullustans joined the Rebel Alliance, the Home Guard proved to be uneffective against them.
