A '''Civilian''', according to international humanitarian law, is a person who is not a member of his or her country's [[United Nations Space Command Defense Force|armed forces]]. The term is also often used colloquially to refer to people who are not members of a particular profession or occupation, especially by [[Civilian Security Forces|law enforcement agencies]], which often use rank structures similar to those of military units. Often, the military's main purpose and occupation is to defend the civilians from invaders. However, many civilians, such as [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] are involved with the military.
