We study a Lorentz invariance violating extension for the pure photonic sector of the standard model. A phenomenological proposal is made for the condensation of topological defects in the presence of a constant rank-m tensor in the context of the Julia-Toulouse mechanism. Possible physical consequences leading to direct measurable effects over the confining properties of the elementary particles are explored.
