Moff of the Mon Calamari Sector
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
With the introduction of the Yggdrasil Planetary Defense Complex to all Imperial Planets a defense force needed to be created, enter the Complex Defense Brigades. A uniquely structured six company Brigade was created to effectively defend all the parts of the Yggdrasil. It is also unique in the way that three branches of the Imperial Military have been brought together for one great purpose, defense. These soldiers are trained in defensive measures and bunker warfare. Each unit is also specialized being one of the following: combat engineers, heavy weapons/ordinance, mechanized (repulsorlift, tracked, or walkers), scouting, or standard infantry.
Having two companies per location ensures there are two-hundred and eighty-eight brave soldiers defending each position of the Yggdrasil. This means that no one place is less defended than the others, equalizing defense across the board (aside from planetary features/location). The addition of these CDBs also means that the forces meant to defend the planet from invasion or similar aren't depleted trying to defend these complexes too. Those armies are able to do their job, because the CDBs do theirs.
Unltimately the tactis of each Brigade differ from planet to planet meaning that even if our enemies defeat one brigade, they will not know how to respond to the next. Although there are a few standardized tactics that all brigades do. There are to be minefields placed in pivital egresses leading to the stations and there is to be a night and day shift, 1 company during the day and 1 company during the night, doing standard patrols and other smaller exercises. This means that there are always one-hundred and forty-four soldiers on duty at all times. The Yggdrasil is one of the most defended technologies within the Empire, any hostiles who dare try to march upon them will be met with heavy resistance.
- Intent: To continue to flush out the EoTL's planetary defense, and to create obstacles for hostile factions/PSs in RP.

- Description: The defense forces are a contingent of the Imperial (Volunteer) Army, Stormtrooper Corp, and Grand Army of the Lost. It is a combination of the three branches of the full Imperial Military deployed in a special Brigade specifically for defense a planet's Yggdrasil Planetary Defense Complex.

Officers might see a Commission to a CDB as the end of their career, other see it as the one of the most important positions within the Imperial Military.
