The Combined Defense Forces of the New Republic, commonly referred to as the New Republic Defense Force (NRDF) or New Republic Armed Forces, were the integrated military forces charged with the defense of the New Republic. Formed from the Alliance Military in 4 ABY after the Alliance to Restore the Republic reformed into the New Republic in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, the New Republic military went on to liberate Coruscant, defeat Imperial warlords like Ysanne Isard, Zsinj, and Grand Admiral Thrawn, defeat the Reborn Emperor's Dark Empire, and finally defeat Gilad Pellaeon's Imperial Remnant and end the Galactic Civil War.
