The Coruscant Planetary Defense Force (PDF) was a part of the New Republic Defense Force during the Yuuzhan Vong War. It was charged with the duty of defending Coruscant; a task which included manning the orbital defense platforms above the planet and setting up ground defenses. Carlist Rieekan was called out of retirement in 27 ABY to command the defense force. During the Battle of Coruscant the PDF was wiped out along with many of its counterparts in the Coruscant Security Force.
