===Formation===
The '''Third Capellan Defense Force''' was formed on [[Gei-Fu]] with the bulk of its Capellan contingent hailing from that planet. The rest of the roster was filled with [[Trinity Alliance]] recruits. The recruits were highly motivated, as they perceived service as a way to regain the Gei-Fu's reputation after the failed assassination attempt made against [[Chancellor]] [[Sun-Tzu Liao]].<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 23: "Capellan Defense Force"</ref> The unit was created to augment the Capella Commonality's defenses after several units were shifted to the [[Liao Commonality]] and [[Chaos March]] and it was outfitted primarily by [[Ceres Metals]].
