The Capellan Defense Force was formed after the Clan Invasion when the formerly secure Capellan Commonality became vulnerable to attack from the Federated Suns. This marked the end of the older Capellan Reserve brigade as Stapleton's Grenadiers were renamed as the first regiment of the new Capellan Defense Force and various Home Guard units were reorganized to form two additional regiments.[1]


Formation

History

Jihad

The Capellan Defense Force was able to expand its roster to include a third regiment shortly before the outbreak of the Jihad. Unfortunately, the Third CDF was stationed on Gei-Fu, which was attacked by six AFFS units during Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE; this destroyed the 3rd completely.[2]

Post-Jihad Era

Those Defense Force regiments who survived the Jihad did so almost completely intact, due to their location in the industrial heartland of the Capellan Confederation. Having weathered the Jihad so well, the Defense Force then underwent a dramatic expansion in the 3080s, with Sang-jiang-jun Talon Zahn announcing the formation of a 4th and 5th Capellan Defense Force regiments soon after the Jihad. Formed around a mixture of experienced personnel from the 1st and 2nd CDF and graduates from the Capella War College, the new regiments brought the established strength of the Capellan Defense Force up to match the regional brigades of the other commonalities.[3]

During Operation GOLDEN FORTRESS, the CDF regiments were broken up into battalion sized units and used to garrison worlds taken by the front line CCAF forces. Though this worked though 3081 and 3082, when the Republic of the Sphere counterattacked, these CDF units were often destroyed. For example the Sixth CDF was completely wiped out on Liao. The surviving CDF units have since rotated back to garrison systems in the Sian Commonality while they rebuild.[4]

Dark Age

The Capellan Defense Force units were transferred to the Confederation's border with the Free Worlds League in 3141 in response to the League trying to incorporate the Duchy of Andurien into the new League.[5]
