Royal Onderon Militia

"It seems they're only targeting the droid army. If you allow the Royal Onderon Militia to assume control of security, the terrorists may stop and discuss terms."

- General Tandin to King Sanjay Rash

The Royal Onderon Militia, also known as the Onderon royal militia or the Onderon royal guard, and Royal Army, was the militia of the Royal Court of Onderon.

Description
Members of this elite fighting force wore ornate grey armor with maroon highlights and wielded laser lances in combat. Additionally, they rode mounts into battle.

History
After the old king Ramsis Dendup was overthrown by the Separatists, the Royal Onderon Militia for the most part went along with the regime change, protecting the Confederate-installed ruler Sanjay Rash, though it was speculated by super tactical droid General Kalani that some of their members were in fact helping the Onderon rebels against the Confederacy judging by the sophistication and coordination of their weapons and actions.

Later, they joined the rebels in the Onderon highlands, and served as cavalry against the droid assault. Initially, their lances and mounts overwhelmed the battle droid forces and they proved to be competent soldiers in battle. Their lances, however, could do nothing against the air superiority of the Confederacy. Later, two of them escorted the king in an escape attempt, but were trailed by commando droids. They attempted to defeat the droids, but their short-range lance burst could not pierce the body armor of the droids in enough time before they were killed.
