The Defenders of Sovereignty is a Star Wars gaming clan founded in January of 2001 to support X-Wing Alliance. Since that time, the clan has consistently remained at the forefront of the Star Wars gaming community, expanding to play virtually every Star Wars PC Game released with a rapidly growing member count currently sitting well over one-thousand. Some games have come and left DS's support, including Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, Star Wars: Galaxies and Armed Assault, Star Wars: Jedi Outcast/Academy and Americas Army.
