What does this mean?
In short, the United Defense Act helps in ensuring the rights to life and physical safety by forcing the Marine Corps and Navy to station a minimum force around Republic worlds, and ushered in the era of the defensive military for the Navy. Instead of having starships roam the Republic in a decentralized system, a level of heirarchy was restored as portions of the Navy and Marine Corps were forced back into purely defensive roles.
