Description=
The Federation has awoken to the threat, and now its strength shall be tried. We wanted peace, and now we are faced with war, provoked by the destructive Caldari. We need brave pilots to fly into the fray and protect not only the ideals for which we stand, but the Federation that upholds them in these dark times. Join us, capsuleer. With your strength and your conviction we shall endure.|Ticker= FEDEF |DivisionsTemplated=}}

You can join the Federal Defence Union by travelling to any gallentean station and opening the militia tab. You must have a positive [[Standing|standing]] with the [[Gallente|Gallente]] Federation, or join a [[Corporation|corporation]] already aligned with the militia.

==Major corporations aligned to the [[Gallente|Gallente]] Militia==

[[Spiritus Draconis]] - Major fleet running corporation

[[Azure Horizon Federate Militia]] - Small gang professionals

[[Quantum Cats Syndicate]] - Major fleet running corporation

More to come...

==The [[Gallente|Gallente]] warzone==

The major area of the Gallente Federation territory that the FDU operates include the regions of [[Essence]], [[Verge Vendor]] and [[Placid]].

The hub of [Federal Defence Union] fleet activity is found in the [[Heydieles]] system which also see's both [[State Protectorate]] incursion and pirate activity.  [[Villore]] could be considered the high sec hub of the FDU with the infamous and pirate infested [[Old Man Star]] system sitting between these two major strategic points.
  
Lately the FDU has suffered the loss of the [[Esesier]] and [[Harroule]] systems to State fleets and their allies.  Also, the systems surrounding [[Intaki]] have seen much skirmishing as FDU combateer's fight to hold onto this area.

In general there are four major arteries between the bulk of State held territory and that of the FDU.

[[Aldranette]] - [[Nennamaila]], 
[[Oicx]] - [[Eha]], 
[[Abune]] - [[Oinasiken]], 
[[Deven]] - [[Nagamanen]], 

Although territories change over time these systems will likely remain the tributories for war traffic from both empires.

[[Factional Warfare]] - a guide for those new to the arena.

For pilots new to the FDU understand that trust is earned slowly and on the merit of your guns and missiles.  Your provision of intel while roaming, participation in kills and plexing activity count toward your credibility as a trusted FDU member as does your membership of an FDU player corp.

Players new to eve should consider either applying to a FDU player corporation that offers helps for new starts or spend a few weeks building up some combat skills and general familiarity in high sec as low sec is unforgiving to the inexperienced.
