Organization Royal Naboo Security Forces

[Nor'baal]

The Royal Naboo Security Forces, otherwise known as the Royal Security Forces, or abbreviated to RNSF and RSF, were the planetary defence forces of Naboo. Officially a 'Security Force' as opposed to military, the RSF was mostly focused on the protection of civilians, Government officials and the airspace of Naboo. One of the oldest continuously active units in the known galaxy, the RSF has existed since the days of the Old Republic and it is considered to be an honour to volunteer to serve within its ranks.

Due to Naboo being a member of the Independent Systems Constortium, the RSF exists within the command structure of the ISC Army.

History

Established millennia ago, during the formation of the human Government on Naboo by its first settlers, the RSF was initially set up as the personal bodyguard detachment of the Monarch of the Naboo, and as the years went on, became a wider spanning 'Civic Policing & Security' organisation. As the centuries went on, the RSFs role as a peacekeeping and security organisation was further cemented, through acts of the Monarchy, and the involvement of the Naboo Upper-Classes, who often volunteered their children to join up.

Perhaps the most notable use of the RSF on the galactic stage would occur during the Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY, during which time the Trade Federation carried out an occupation of Naboo. Enabling the evacuation of Queen Amidala, who headed to the Core to rally support for her homeworld, the RSF engaged in ground combat with the droid legions of the federation. Whilst the RSF was defeated, and many of its members detained, some would go on to form a resistance against the occupation, laying the foundations for the recapture of Naboo upon Queen Amidala's return some months later.

During the subsequent 'Imperial Era', the RSF supported the planet once more, gently resisting efforts by Imperial Governors to disband the group, and subject the world to Stormtrooper control. As such, throughout the Imperial Era, involvement from the Empire in the matter of Naboos security was minimal.

Following the collapse of the Empire, the RSF took a more active role in the security and peacekeeping efforts of the 'New Republic'.

In the modern-day, the RSF has remained true to its historic ideals and forms the Planterary Defence Force of Naboo, with a detachment of soldiers seconded to the ISC Army, as part of ongoing efforts to ensure Naboo meets its factional obligations.

Organisation

The RSF is divided into various operational units, including the Royal Security Police Force, the Royal Marine Regiment, the RSF Intelligence Division and the Naboo Planetary Defense. At anyone time, it is estimated that around 15,000.00 full time personel are serving with the RSF and many more as volunteers.

Consisting of professional service personnel, and a territorial group of volunteers, the RSF is split into a number of factions:

• Handmaidens: Effectively a secret service within the security forces, Handmaidens support the Monarch and members of the Government in a wide range of duties. Whilst many of their duties are mundane in nature, the Handmaidens double as a highly trained bodyguard detachment to the person they are charged to protect.
• Palace Guard: The most public arm of the RSF, with striking uniforms recognisable across the region, these individuals are station within the Theed Royal Palace, and act as ceremonial guards. Whilst they have a ceremonial function, however, they are the backbone of the RSF, and fulfil the role of bodyguards to the Royals, Nobles and Government representatives across Naboo. It is common to find them stationed at embassies across the Galaxy, protecting Naboo diplomatic representatives.
• Security Officers and Guards: With Officers serving as paid full-time staff, and guards as volunteers, this faction forms the main element of the day-to-day security staff across Naboo. Effectively a police force, they can most commonly be seen at spaceports, and in town centres, where their services are most needed.

Alongside this, the RSF boasts a small, but well-known and effective star-fighter force focused on the protection of Naboo Airspace. Made up of volunteers in the traditional style of Naboos long history of public service, this small but well-trained force is the first line of defence against hostile attacks against the planet.
