The Star League Defense Force (SLDF) was the principal military force defending the Star League, a conglomeration of star systems within roughly 500 light years of Terra. The Star League Defense Force left the Inner Sphere after Stefan Amaris overthrew the ruling First Lord of the Star League, Brian Cameron. After fighting a long serious of bloody battles throughout the Star League, General Aleksandr Kerensky led eighty percent of the Star League Defense Force out beyond the Inner Sphere, hoping to end the internicine violence endemic to the Inner Sphere after the death of Stefan Amaris. The SLDF returned 300 years later as the Clans, a technologically superior military that invaded the Inner Sphere in 3049.

In late 3058, the leaders of the Inner Sphere decided to resurrect the Star League in order to defeat the Clans. Victor Steiner-Davion became the first Commanding General of the SLDF since General Aleksandr Kerensky, though the SLDF was composed of only a handful of units. In 3063, Victor resigned as Commanding General in order to avoid a conflict of interest while he led forces loyal to him against his sister, Katherine. Hohiro Kurita succeeded Victor and presided over the disbandment of the SLDF following a vote of no confidence in the Star League in December of 3067.
