The Earth Defense Force (EDF) is one of the few elements from the first Red Faction that has remained with the series into Red Faction: Guerrilla.

Red Faction

In Red Faction, Parker calls in the EDF to take control of Mars away from Masako's mercenaries and Ultor's guards. The game ends with the EDF broadcast "This facility is now under the command of the Earth Defence Force. Drop your weapons immediately. All armed personnel will be shot on sight."

Red Faction II

The EDF dosen't not appear in Red Faction II, but they along with the Red Faction reform the newly humane Ultor Corporation and they suplied the Red Faction weopons, and declared war on Chancellor Victor Sopot's goverment.

Red Faction: Guerrilla

At the end of the first Red Faction the Earth Defense Force came in and helped the Red Faction beat Ultor and rid Mars of them. Instead of leaving once the job was done the EDF stayed on Mars and over the 50 years they have gone from being the liberators of Mars to the new oppressors. In fact they are worse than Ultor. The people of Mars do not have any rights, are beaten in the streets by EDF officers, and live in complete misery. Finally having enough of the oppression, once again the miners have called up the name of Red Faction and have started a guerrilla movement against the EDF to push them off the planet and liberate the people. The EDF is the main antagonist in Red Faction: Guerrilla.

Despite having leaders of note, such as General Roth, they are rarely seen in game. The EDF are a largely faceless and characterless enemy. However, this may be deliberate. It is not stated whether the Drones, the body of the EDF, are human soldiers or not. Their very name might suggest otherwise, detracting from their humanity somewhat. Also their sheer numbers might suggest something more sinister behind the mask. Clones, robots? Questions never asked or answered in game, but have been raised in certain reviews. However, they can occasionally be heard cursing. Firing at them with particularly lethal weapons will even provoke certain soldiers to call Mason a motherfucker.

After Red Faction: Guerrilla

It is unknown what is to become of the EDF after the events of Red Faction: Guerrilla.
