The LSDF is composed of members from all three major [[lorath_matriarchy/groups#the_castes|Lorath houses]], as well as having some [[species:helashio]] members. Due to events which have taken place in the Matriarchy's history, the LSDF has opened its ranks to the species which comprised their allies' military forces. Notable ships fielded in the LSDF's history were the LSDF Reclaimer, LSDF Trishka, LSDF Akahar, LSDF Val'ta, and the LSDF Herald. ====== History of the LSDF ====== The LSDF was founded in 545th year Post-Exile after the [[:lorath_matriarchy]] made contact with a belligerent technologically advanced interstellar empire. During the initial attempts at peace talks between the Lorath and this empire, the Lorath chose to provide for their own defense, making a new multi-role, space-capable military organization necessary for the Lorath. The Lorath went to work to quickly build up the new force, as upper level Lorath began to feel that the empire would not and/or could not fully comply with the treaty provision that the empire would defend Lor if needed. Initial support for the LSDF was centered in the [[lorath_matriarchy:culture:occhestia|Occhestian]] Connate Government, and a large number of the LSDF initial members were drawn from its divisions. Unfortunately, due to the Occhestian revolt, a sizable portion of the LSDF's capabilities were reduced, until the [[lorath_matriarchy:culture:fyunnen|Fyunnen caste]] stepped in to fill the gap. Over the years, the Lorath Self Defense Force had found itself working alongside the Lorath Matriarchy's allies and their military forces in a mutually beneficial joint endeavour. Due to their closest ally's peacekeeper forces being mainly geared toward police actions, the LSDF had found itself to be the spearhead of any dedicated military action. Over their years of work with their allies, between the years 546 Post-Exile and 549 Post-Exile, the Matriarchy had poured ample funds into the Lorath Self Defense Force, and had increased the combat capability of their military forces to hopefully be able to endure assaults from the many threats present in their home sector of space. Toward the end of their time in their home multiverse, the LSDF had opened its ranks to members of their ally's defunct peacekeeper forces, in hopes of absorbing their numbers during a sharp decline in the might of their ally. ====== Fleet Arrangement of the LSDF ====== Dedicated to the protection of the Lorath Matriarchy, the majority of the Lorath Self Defense Force fleet was stationed in the [[system:Lor]], [[system:nyli]], and [[system:Hici'emi]] systems. However, due to the persisting threat of their enemies the Lorath Matriarchy had directed the LSDF to conduct border patrol operations, as well as an expedition in the northern portions of mapped space to secure a possible fall-back location for the Matriarchy. ====== LSDF Fleet Strength ====== Prior to the Second Exile the Lorath fleet was composed of: ==== Starships ==== * 30 [[lorath:starship:eagle-class]] * 237 [[lorath:starship:raptor-class]] * 116 [[lorath:starship:zahl-class_cruiser-refit]] * 200 [[motoyoshi_fleet_yards:ships:amaterasu-class_cruiser]] * 23 [[motoyoshi_fleet_yards:ships:ayana-class_escort]] * 213 [[motoyoshi_fleet_yards:ships:ionoche-class_light_carrier]] == Non-Warship Classes == * 11140 [[lorath:starship:tatc:tatc-0003_longboat]] === Starships Not In Service === See: [[lorath:groups:lsdf:lorath_starship_depot]] ==== Stations / Platforms ==== * 19,900 [[united_manufacturing_cooperative:drone:gallus]] ==== Shipyards In Service ==== * 357410 [[lorath:starship:wh_ki_shipyard]] -
