History

The Troops

The Commander

Destroy Entertainment Soldiers is the army of the Deep Galactic Trade Organization government. Right after their establishment, planets such as Lancastar, Sagittariusstar, Funghistar, Kasumigastar, Tundrastar and Baltistar fell under the rule of the Deep Galactic Trade Organization.

The DES prevents a group of people from entering an abandoned mine, suspecting that they are trying to see an AKB0048 concert. They tried to stop AKB0048 during their concert, but they were quickly defeated.

4 years later, the DES took over a ship, suspecting that some of the auditioners for AKB0048 might be aboard that ship. Before they could capture the auditioners, AKB0048 appeared, defeated them again, rescued the auditioners ,and took them to safety before the DES could catch them again.

DES also interrupted a handshake event in the Absolute Entertainment Protection Sphere (AEPS), but AKB0048 defeated them before they could do any harm. Above of this, they arrest the officers who are against the entertainment ban or that they do not return home their daughter participating in the AKB0048 idol group.

They caught Yukirin, Chieri and Sonata at Atamistar whom were sent to trial at Kasumigastar, which are later freed by Whole Over Technology Association and AKB0048.
