The Defence Force is an organised militia seen in Xenoblade Chronicles. The intent of the Defence Force is to protect Colony 9 and Colony 6's residents from harm, whether it be from monsters or from Mechon invasions. The Defence Force has its own district in Colony 9, the Military District, where soldiers and scientists work together in a joint effort to more easily defend the colony.
Defence Force Tasks[]
The Defence Force's most common job is the elimination of monsters that pose a threat to innocent passers-by in Colony 9 and in Tephra Cave, the latter also to protect Colony 6 merchants on their way through the cave. Another related task is keeping lookout at the entrances to Colony 9, so as to prevent monsters from venturing into the colony and wreaking havoc. The Defence Force is also responsible for destroying debris as it falls from higher on the Bionis before it can cause harm to citizens, and in times of Mechon attack, shooting down as many Mechon Carriers as possible and destroying any Mechon that happen to enter the colony.
