The Sullustan Home Guard is a sector defense force charged with defending Sullust, its outlying colonies, and SoroSuub Corporation property from alien conquest or tyrannical rule. Its frontline troopers are cultivated from a mix of volunteers and SoroSuub lottery. Despite this obligation many sullustans see it as a matter of cultural pride to serve in the Home Guard and few apply for deferred service except for on conscientious grounds.
Sullustan troopers are put through a basic training regimen to ensure they know how to safely operate dangerous technology. However they do not share the same kind of rigorous martial tradition as the Mandalorians or Imperials who ensure every enlisted soldier has an almost academic understanding of warfare. They at least have a leg up on human recruits in that no sullustan needs to be taught how to dig a foxhole or shore up a trench.
