In YE 32 during the Second Mishhuvurthyar War the Fourth Fleet established a standard defense force for the systems under its control within the bard_cluster that do not have a star fortress.

• Two squadrons of Plumeria Gunships which deploy and maintains a network of:
  • 20 Star Army FTL Sensor Drones
• One Ikoi-Class Light Starbase to maintain and support the Gunships

In YE 32 the Fourth Fleet began deploying a "Guriddo" Defense System to augment the planetary defenses. During periods of heightened alert status, the grid will be deployed at .5 AU around the planet; all other times it will be deployed at .25 AU.

The standard deployment contains the following:

• Twenty Ke-H5-W3200 "Kyouheki" Defense Platforms each typically controlling four Ke-H5-M3200 "Nesuto" Docking Platforms
  • Ten Ke-H5-M3200 "Nesuto" Docking Platforms each with eighteen Ke-H5-W3201 "Suzumebachi" Attack Drones
    • One-hundred and eighty Ke-H5-W3201 "Suzumebachi" Attack Drones

Each defense force counts as twenty-four ships towards overall fleet strength
