- Links: N/A
- Army Name: The NEF
- Classification: Expeditionary Force
- Affiliation: Confederacy of Independent Systems, Naboo and the Chommell Sector
- Army Symbol: The emblem of Naboo on a purple hex, symbol of the Confederacy
- Description: A professional army based in Naboo, reporting for active duty with their headquarters on Naboo. They will be sent wherever the CIS require them and will be recalled to the Chommell Sector by orders of the monarch of Naboo
- Headquarters: Naboo
- Goals: To serve the CIS in whatever missions they are deemed fit to perform, coordinate defense efforts with Chommell Sector security forces and CIS military officials to create a more unified command structure and integrate lesser militaries into the wider CIS command structure, and act as the primary defense for the Chommell Sector.
- Reputation: Expectations are high for Naboo's new professional expeditionary force, thus when not on active duty the NEF spend most of their days drilling and training to adapt to new strategies designed by CIS military officials. To Naboo this has proven to be a huge investment on their part as it is to be one of their few military organizations with offensive capabilities, So far the NEF have proven themselves to be fairly competent with minor combat assignments taking a few dozen casualties with their initial run and so they have yet to be deployed on a major combat assignment, however hopes are high for the unit.
- Army Size: Medium As an expeditionary force, the unit is meant to be as mobile as possible with the unit consisting of 50,000 personnel in total with 30,000 active personnel and 20,000 in reserve.
- Composition: The NEF has 5 different divisions of 10,000 each with their own mechanized and logistics capabilities. Their fast attack methods are enhanced by their ground transports and IFV's.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
When Naboo was made the capital of the CIS, many in the government in Theed saw this as an opportunity to spread their influence and prestige throughout the galaxy. Additionally, the CIS had started dedicating their resources to fortifying their new capital, thus expanding Naboo's capabilities as a galactic center. For the longest time, Naboo didn't have a dedicated military force. Their only military units consisted of the Royal Guard and the Royal Starfighter Corps, barely worth acknowledging who have had more or less of a good reputation of a decent fighting force. The CIS have recruited members of the Royal Armed Forces before but Naboo had little military prowess to speak of and so, CIS officers and Royal Guardsmen worked together to create Naboo's first offensive capable military unit. For months, the joint commission had been picking the best candidates to fit their new outfit. They took recommendations from the Royal Guard and any Naboo resident who was willing to enlist. The training of the expeditionary force wad focused on combat and survival on multiple environments including tundras, swampy marshes, deserts, urban centers, zero gravity, and forests just to name a few. They have been to deployed to train on worlds such as Malastare, Christophsis, Ryloth, Sullust, Dagobah, and Hoth. All of these training exercises proved costly and Naboo was starting to get skeptical of the benefits of this unit.
Debates were held amongst officials in Naboo about the cost of the expeditionary force, Naboo wanted to pull out of the project but it would've lost financial support from the CIS as Naboo had pledged some of its best military personnel to the project, if they were to pull out the CIS would have to find recruits in other worlds which would've provided costly in both funds and time. So there was no choice to continue with the project, yet some still persisted with cancelling the project. And against the nay-sayers within the span of a year, the Naboo Expeditionary Force was established and paraded through the capital of Theed and was officiated into the CIS. The NEF have been deployed on various combat assignments such as rooting out pirate outposts, peacekeeping operations, and combating insurgencies in the frontier space of the unknown regions. With promising results, the NEF are eager to be deployed on a major combat assignment.
