The United Earth Defense Force, simply referred to as the Earth Defense Forces or EDF, was a military organisation operated by United Earth in the 32nd century. In 3190, the UEDF was conducting joint missions with Starfleet, and was in progress of being absorbed.
History[]
Around 3089, roughly twenty years after the Burn devastated the galaxy, the United Federation of Planets and Starfleet unsure of what caused the Burn, let alone how to prevent another; Earth was deemed exceptionally vulnerable, Thus the agencies relocated its headquarters elsewhere as Earth believed it was a potential target for whatever or whoever caused the Burn. Sometime after the Burn and the relocation of the Federation and Starfleet, Earth seceded from the Federation and rebuilt themselves to be self-sustainable over the next century.
The United Earth Defense Force had been engaged in routine trading with the Confederacy for at least a few decades.
When the USS Discovery entered Terran air space, the UEDF picket line responded by cornering them in a circle before beaming on board.
