Legend

this was the name used by the government of the planet Junction 5 to describe the security force they formed to maintain the planet's defenses against an invasion from Delaluna or the possible use of the Annihilator weapon. The Guardians were turned over to Lorian Nod more than twenty years before the onset of the Clone Wars, and they were charged with ensuring a complete understanding of what was happening on Junction 5. Under this mission, they infiltrated virtually every aspect of public and private life. All computer use was tracked, as were communication systems. The Guardians were very effective in rooting out potential threats, until the prisons became overcrowded and there were not enough workers left to keep the planet's economy moving. After a daring raid on Delaluna's Minstry of Offense and Defense by Cilia Dil and her underground rebels, the Annihilator was discovered to be a ruse. In a file labeled "Misinformation", the rebels learned that the Guardians had used the threat of the weapon to quell the populace of Junction 5 and remain in power. It was Lorian Nod himself who came up with the idea of the Annihilator, as part of his plans to take control of Junction 5 for himself. In the wake of this revelation, Minister Ciran Ern promised to disband the Guardians and restore freedom to Junction 5.
