 The Space Defense Force, or SDF, was originally founded in Sol System by its member worlds ([[Luna]], [[Mars]], and the Belt colonies) to protect their interests - which, at the time, would have included the extrasolar colonies on [[Annyrion]] and [[Oceania]] - from both the theoretical outside threat of alien attack and the very real threat of piracy. The Space Defense Force, or SDF, was originally founded in Sol System by its member worlds ([[Luna]], [[Mars]], and the Belt colonies) to protect their interests - which, at the time, would have included the extrasolar colonies on [[Annyrion]] and [[Oceania]] - from both the theoretical outside threat of alien attack and the very real threat of piracy.

 The Scout Service also maintains a roster of inactive or retired scouts and assets that have been loaned to them, in the form of a Detached Duty Office, with the understanding that the Service will have access to ship's logs and navigational records during regular overhauls, and can always call members serving on detached duty back to active service, if only to question them about their recent activities.  Such members are essentially on an unpaid leave of absence, and generally will not perform any unlawful acts using loaned assets such as spacecraft.  Because of this, the general attitude towards retired scouts is that they may not actually be retired, but still gathering information on behalf of the SDF. The Scout Service also maintains a roster of inactive or retired scouts and assets that have been loaned to them, in the form of a Detached Duty Office, with the understanding that the Service will have access to ship's logs and navigational records during regular overhauls, and can always call members serving on detached duty back to active service, if only to question them about their recent activities.  Such members are essentially on an unpaid leave of absence, and generally will not perform any unlawful acts using loaned assets such as spacecraft.  Because of this, the general attitude towards retired scouts is that they may not actually be retired, but still gathering information on behalf of the SDF.
