In order to become a citizen in the Federation, a civilian must serve in the Federation or another capacity such as teaching, being experimental subjects, for at least two years.

In order to ensure that only those who are serious about joining the Federal Service are accepted, the government places a double or even triple amputee at the front desk. This sends a message that time in the Federal Service is indeed dangerous.

Courage. Duty. Honor.

The Federal Armed Services (FAS) is the umbrella name of the primary defense force and military operations branch of the United Citizen Federation. It is used in times of both peace and war, and is the primary method used by civilians to gain franchise and become Citizens through serving for a term of service no less than two years.

The FAS consists primarily of three main branches: Mobile Infantry, Fleet, and Military Intelligence operational units and are considered the backbone of the Federation; defending its borders, protecting trade routes and invading enemy territory.

Prior to Battle of Klendathu several veterans would work as teachers of History and Moral Philosophy or at recruitment desk. Despite having access to prosthetics these individuals would only wear what they needed to perform their task. After the defeat many returned to active service and would wear their prosthetics openly.
