- "Tell your people to take shelter. If you have warriors, now is the time."
- ―Obi-Wan Kenobi, to Tion Medon
The Utapaun Security Forces,[4] also known as the Pau'an military[1] and as the Utapaun resistance during the Separatist occupation,[2] were a military on the planet Utapau. It consisted of Pau'an Warriors that acted as infantry. The Pau'an military outfitted its warriors with ancient ceremonial armor and weapons due to the lack of necessary resources to outfit themselves with updated military equipment. Every warrior was well trained with their outdated axes and shields, and were able to utilize them with grievous results when near enemies.[1] In addition to the vehicles of the Utapau Skyforce, the security force also used Dactillions and Varactyls as a means of transportation.[3]
As the Utapaun resistance to the Confederacy of Independent Systems's ongoing occupation,[2] the Pau'an military fought alongside the Galactic Republic against the Confederacy during the Battle of Utapau, but its warriors were imprisoned after Order 66 was issued.[3]
