History

The Starforce were an elite team of superpowered members of the Kree empire that were brought together by the Supreme Intelligence. They were assembled to aid their leader the war between the Kree and the Shi'ar. (Avengers v1 #346)

Though absorbed into the Shi'ar corps, the rise of the nu-elite led to the Kree empires autonomy being restored. The new government then came to brand the Starforce as defectors leading to the group being considered pariahs. As a result, they sought to resettle elsewhere leading to Korath moving to Godthab Omega. (Annihilation: Ronan v1 #1)

A new initiative by the Kree empire saw the creation of the Starforce Blue branch with one of their missions being to investigate the possible theft of their technology by Walter Lawson of Earth. (Marvel Team-Up v4 #6)

Overview

In appearance, the members of the Starforce were all super-powered beings that had ties to the Kree empire. (Avengers v1 #346) Typically, they were not sent on rescue missions but rather sent to terminate a target. They were designated as a team of first responders that were sent into the most dangerous situations of the empire. (Marvel Team-Up v4 #6)

A new initiative by the Kree empire saw the creation of Starforce Blue that were not sent on termination mission but to investigate breaches in Kree law. Each of its members were selected to represent the different aspects of the Kree criminal justice system with a Pursuer, Detainer, an Accuser, a Protector and a Judge being sent on such missions.
