The '''Defiant Defense Force''', areor '''DDF''', is a military force responsible for the protection of the [[Defiant League]], the human settlers on [[Detritus]].
 
They normally maintain twelve flights, having four on duty with one or two on patrol in the air, four on call, and four in deep reserve at any given moment.{{book ref|Skyward|48}}

The DDF uses a variety of starfighters, each built for a specific purpose. While some ships, such as the [[Poco]] are traditionally used in dogfights against Krell, other ships like the [[Val]] are used for reconnaissance. The most common destructor type used in DDF ships is the 138 Stewart destructor and generally cap out at speeds of Mag-10.

=== RangerFlights Flight ===
A Flight at the Defiant Defense Force usually consists of 8-10 pilots who have graduated from the flight school. At any given time, 1/3 of all starfighters and pilots are down in the deeper caverns in case Alta Base is bombed, so the DDF can rebuild. Each flight has a flightleader, who is responsible for coordinating the flight and relaying messages from Flight Command. Each flight ideally has an even number of pilots, so that each pilot can have a wingmate.
