During the time of the New Republic era, the planet of Riosa, found within the Inner Rim, was protected by its own planetary security force. Before his time as a New Republic senator, Ransolm Casterfo spent two years as a member of Riosa's planetary security force. While serving, he piloted a starfighter and used a blaster. The Riosa planetary security force was not often involved in combat, and Casterfo, along with most of the other members, mostly spent their time giving out tickets for improper docking.
