Coruscant Security Force/Legends

"We're the law on Coruscant. Not the Jedi."

- Gwad Raatu

The Coruscant Security Force (CSF), also known as the Coruscant Police Force, was a military police force in the Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire, and Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. It was in charge of maintaining order on Coruscant.

History


In 42 BBY, the Bothan Yur T'aug was the maximum authority of the Coruscant Security Force.

Pre-Clone Wars
The Coruscant Police Force was the homeworld force helping protect Coruscant before the formation of the Grand Army of the Republic. They used the VAAT/e as a rapid troop deployment platform.

The Coruscant Police Force was present when bounty hunter Jango Fett attempted to find and interrogate Connus Trell.

After the formation of the clone army, the police force was dissolved, and the clone shock troopers took over the protection of Coruscant.

Clone Wars
By the time of the Clone Wars, the CSF was made secondary to elite clone trooper units, such as the clone shock troopers and the 501st Legion, that were stationed on Coruscant.

Imperial era
After the rise of the Empire, the last remnants of the CSF gradually phased out with the introduction of Coruscant Guards, various stormtrooper regiments, and the Emperor's Royal Guard&mdash;all stationed on Imperial City.

In 1 BBY, Moff Kadir was the maximum authority of the CSF, now consisting mostly of stormtrooper units. He tried to use specially-trained clones under his command to kill Emperor Palpatine and take control of the Empire, but the plot failed.

In 4 ABY, the stormtroopers of Coruscant's security forces were attacked by angry crowds, spurred on by the news of Palpatine's death at Endor. In the ensuing uprising, many people were killed as the security forces organized under Ysanne Isard and beat them back.

Second Corellian Crisis
By 40 ABY, the CSF had reorganized, this time under the Galactic Alliance during the Second Corellian Crisis.
