<p class="MsoNormal"><span><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The Fromeltar Defense
Force was established to provide protection to the system and monitoring trade.
</span>The PAK (on Terledrom) primarily overseas business concerns and the FDF
falls into this business concern as it enforces import restrictions and
tariffs.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Candidates from all three planets volunteer for service
within the FDF, as well as form outside. 30% of the FDF are from Groth, 10%
Terledrom and 20% from Zik-kit. The remaining percentage come from abroad the
Frontier. On Groth it is advertised that it is a &quot;patriotic duty&quot; to
volunteer for the FDF. Majority of the FDF are Vrusk or Dralasite. Out of the
2,000 members, only about 500 are actually assigned to spaceships. These 500
members are divided into a Gold &amp; White shifts. So at anytime only have of
these members are on duty but, the spaceships are always on duty.</p>
