Star World Defensive Forces (SWDF)
From Yb Timeline
"We all have things we left back on Star World, things we all want to see again. But remember, Vash, if we fail here, there will be no Star World to go back to. We are the first and last line that keeps these monsters from our home, and we must be prepared to give our lives to hold it." -Commissar Gebit, The Blackest Days

The Star World Defensive Forces are the main military force set about to defend the planet and territories of Star World. What it lacks in strength and technological advancements is their numbers, as most of the population is put in service at some point through military drafts. The army itself is headed by the Councel of Star World, which deals with all affairs of the planet on a galactic level. The army is known to use commissars to keep the troops in line, although the army continues it's high track record for dicipline and moral. Several organizations, such as the Yoshi Bodyguards, Galactic Federation Marine Corps, and Cyber Bell Vanguard, have assisted in the technological advancement of their forces.

History
In the late 1940's (Star World Calendar), The Galactic Federation made contact with the post-modern age Star World. This, along with the arrival of Mexous Sneezier some half-century later, enhanced Star World to the point of space travel, and allowed contact with other planets. It was then it became apparent that Star World was, indeed, not alone in the universe, and the only way they would survive as a planet was to unite.
After several invasions, the nations of Star World pooled their military might together to form the SWD. (The Koopa Kingdom fully joined much later in the timeline) To control it, the nations formed a Councel to oversee the SWDF's command. As reliance on other planets grew, the Counsel grew to become the ruling body on Star World, able now to overrule a ruler's decisions.
In its early days of colonization, the SWD were called upon to defend the newly found colonies against Ork and Kriken threats, as well as sustain several riots and uprisings on Star World itself. Though the FOEA provided them with some action, the first time the SWD saw true war was against Darkcorp, when Star World was invaded several times. Eventually, with the aid of the Yoshi Bodyguards, the SWD destroyed Darkcorp, but soom after, the COUE to formed. In those times, the Yoshi Bodyguards became a private military force overshadowing the SWD, a force outnumbering the SWD and loyal only to the Yoshi Islands. Much debate formed over the Yoshi Bodygaurd's ethical use of clones and role in the planet's defense until an event changed Star World forever.
When the Dark Ages set in, the SWD were charged with civilian evacuation and colonial lockdowns, while the YBs were charged to defeat the demon menace. While the casualties for both the YBs and the SWD were immense, it was the YBs that suffered more. As the Dark Ages set in, it was not rare to see a stranded SWD force defending refugee camps located across the planet, while the Yoshi Bodyguards left were nearly wiped out. When the Titans finally fell at Anubis's hands, the Yoshi Bodygaurds had proven themselves loyal to Star World, and were allowed to hold a standing force. But the SWD were not out of the picture yet.
It was the YBs that primarily saw to the defeat of the COUE (Although the Galactic Federation delviered the killing blow), but when the Metal Wars began to grip the universe, the SWD had regrown enough to become a major player in Star World's contribution to the war effort. Fleets of SWD forces fought alongside the YBs in combat, and for a while all was well. Then, on Chronis, the largest battle of the Metal Wars, the YBs and the SWD had contradicting orders, which pitted them against each other. This caused the death of SWD hero Lucas Alexander as well as thousands of troops on both sides. After the battle, the YBs were put on trail for their actions, and a verdict was reached. After the Metal Wars would draw to and end, the YB and the SWD would be merged. This was not only in light of the clone's actions, but also in the recent breakup of the YB core members.
The SWD stood on the main front of the Metal War, although intrusions by the X-Nauts crippled their warfleets. When the Metal Army invaded Star World, they were prepared, holding against impossible odds to beat back the invaders. Although they sent generals and platoons of soldiers to help in the invasion of Mekkai proper, most of their forces stayed behind to reconstruct the homeland.
