Galactic Alliance Defense Force

The Galactic Alliance Defense Force (GADF) was the military of the Galactic Alliance. Like its predecessor, the New Republic Defense Force, the GADF was comprised of the Galactic Alliance Defense Fleet, Galactic Alliance Starfighter Corps, and the Galactic Alliance Army.

After the Fall of Coruscant
Following the near total breakdown of the New Republic government in the aftermath of the Fall of Coruscant, the remaining senators and military units regrouped on Mon Calamari, which had thus far been outside the invasion corridor. As the government struggled to re-establish order and elect a new Chief of State, the New Republic Defense Force remained on the defensive, scattered amongst numerous worlds and commanders. Some, like Admiral Traest Kre'fey, continued to take orders from the Defense Force high command. Others, like Garm Bel Iblis, gathered remaining fleet units and held on to individual regions of space, acting independent of the government. All of this began to change following the New Republic Presidential election, 27 ABY. When Cal Omas was elected the new Chief of State, the government began to reform and reorganize. The new stability in the government was coupled by the return of aging retired admiral Ackbar, who worked with Chief Omas and then-current Supreme Commander Sien Sovv to ready the New Republic military for a major offensive. Following the major victory at the Battle of Ebaq 9, the New Republic was reorganized into the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances.

Victory over the Yuuzhan Vong
The Galactic Alliance Defense Force was initially established out of the former New Republic Defense Force following the reorganization of the government into the new Galactic Alliance. The fleets of the Galactic Alliance slowly began to turn the tide of battle, liberating key worlds like Fondor and Yag'Dhul. Despite some setbacks, like the Battle of Bilbringi, the Defense Force continued to gather its strength in preparation for the coming end of the war. The fleets of the Defense Force defended Mon Calamari from invasion and led the Liberation of Coruscant.

Post war years, 30- 35 ABY
Following the end of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, the Defense Force remained active. It was expanded to five strategic fleets, a direct nod to the previous five fleet structure of the old NRDF. With the majority of the known galaxy allied with the new government, the Defense Force concentrated on routing out the numerous pirate bands that rose up following the war. As the galaxy continued its reconstruction, the Defense Force worked alongside the New Jedi Order in bringing stability and maintaining the peace.

The Swarm War
The first major conflict that the Defense Force fought following the resolution of the Yuuzhan Vong war occurred in 35 ABY, when the Killik hives were rediscovered in the Unknown Regions. The subsequent campaign, known as the Swarm War, nearly erupted into full scale galactic conflict. Defense Force fleets participated in numerous engagements, including the defense of the Roche Asteroids and the Battle of Tenupe.

Second Corellian Crisis
In the years following the resolution of the Swarm War, some of the more independent Alliance member worlds began to view the government as a new Empire, due to increased regulations. This crisis threatened to blow up into a new civil war. As diplomatic efforts on both sides began to break down, the Defense Force deployed a task force of the Second Fleet to Corellia in a display of military might.

Sith-Imperial War
The Sith-Imperial War ended with the defeat of the Galactic Alliance, following the loss of their capital of Coruscant. While the galaxy was subsequently once again under the control of the new Empire, the remnants of the Galactic Alliance military, in the form of the Galactic Alliance Core Forces, continued the fight against the Empire.

Command
The Galactic Alliance Defense Force was under the overall command of the Supreme Commander, who was appointed by the Chief of State and approved by the Senate. The Supreme Commander, who in keeping with tradition was a full admiral, served as the highest uniformed officer in the Defense Force, answering only to the Chief of State. The GADF mantained its headquarters on Coruscant, in the new Defense Force Command Compound. Presumably Galactic Alliance High Command also had oversight of the Defense Force.

Fleet
The naval forces of the GADF was known as the Galactic Alliance Navy, or Defense Fleet. The overall structure of the fleet was modeled on the older New Republic Navy, with five strategic fleets serving as main units of operation for the Alliance. It presumably also maintained static sector fleets, coupled with private planetary navies. These federal forces were augmented by fleets of various member states, like the Imperial Remnant or Hapes Consortium.

For the first year of the Alliance's existence, the fleets remained fairly unorganized, grouped to individual commanders or assigned to various key worlds, like Kuat, Mon Calamari, Corellia, or Kashyyyk. In the final months of the war, the Defense Force was reorganized into the system modeled after the old Defense Force. Numbered fleets were established, forming a strategic arm of the Alliance military.

As of the Second Corellian Insurrection, the Alliance government maitained the following fleets:


 * First Fleet
 * Second Fleet
 * Third Fleet
 * Fourth Fleet
 * Fifth Fleet
 * Eighth Fleet
 * Ninth Fleet

Whether or not there is or was a Sixth and/or Seventh Fleet is yet to be announced.

Starfighter Corps
The Defense Force's Starfighter Corps was the successor of the New Republic version.

Army
Like its forerunner the New Republic Army, the ground forces of the Galactic Alliance were the less glamorous of the two components of the Defense Force, but no less important. Alliance ground forces and commando units played a major role in several ground engagements during the latter portion of the Yuuzhan Vong War, including the capture of Ylesia and the Liberation of Coruscant.
