| :I concur that this name sounds shady, mostly due to its lack of [[Battlestar Wiki:Citation Jihad|citations]]. It'd be nice if we could confirm it, or if not at least indicate that this is a placeholder and not canonical. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 15:52, 30 January 2006 (EST)

| My casual research indicates that this term is more fan-derived. I find nothing of this term yet in canonical sources, nor, as I think of it, is a logical separation; the Colonies appear to have a unified space defense force under the name of the [[Colonial Fleet]]. I'll be personally liberal in the time it takes to verify the source of this separation of armed sources, otherwise I will create a redirect of this article to [[Colonial Fleet]]. However, my fellow admins and our Imperial Bureaucrat may not be so forgiving as I am. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 17:18, 31 January 2006 (EST)

| :Well, I actually believe upon viewing the evidence that "Colonial Fleet" and "Colonial Marine Corps" are two ''separate'' branches of the Colonial "military". '''However''', I really want this article deleted because it is a fanon name, and "Colonial Defence Force" is only one of literally *''dozens''* of possible names for such an organization. Why not "Colonial Strategic Self Defense Force"? "Armed Forces of the Colonies?", or "Colonial Space Service?"; there are many possible names and "Defense Force" is only one of quite a few possibilities. --[[User:Ricimer|Ricimer]] 19:07, 31 January 2006 (EST)

| ::Moving it to "Colonial defense organizations" would be best in my opinion. Roslin notes to her pilot in the Miniseries to "call the Ministry of Civil Defense", suggesting yet another branch (albeit civilian). I think the differentiation for this purpose is trivial, and we can note that this is a descriptive term. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 21:20, 31 January 2006 (EST)
