(For the character, see Freestar Militia (Character)) The Freestar Militia is the main military force of the Freestar Collective.
Overview[]
The Freestar Militia was created as the Freestar Collective's military, and combines the roles of a normal army and navy. Most recently, it was involved in the Colony War between 2308 and 2311, where it participated in the Battle of Niira and the pivotal Battle of Cheyenne. The latter battle marked a decisive victory for Freestar over the UC Navy that forced the UC to the negotiating table and ended the war with the Armistice, but this outcome was only achieved due to civilian volunteers coming to the outnumbered Militia's aid. The Freestar Militia's surprise triumph over a superior UC force shattered the long-standing paradigm that the Freestar Collective was anything less than the UC's military equal.
In 2330, relations between the Collective and the UC have warmed considerably since the Colony War's end in light of both sides' desire to avoid another destructive interstellar war. This has allowed the Freestar Militia to shift its focus from guarding against the potential threat posed by a major competing power to anti-piracy and frontier security missions.
