Their quality is variable: depending on the people settling there (usually long-serving Guard regiments), a planet's PDF could be those of a sedentary population too stupid to dodge the draft or a bunch of veterans from one of the Imperial Guard's more experienced and successful regiments. Nonetheless, they are considered as underequipped and far less competent by the Imperial Guard. We repeat: the ''Imperial Guard'', [[Butt Monkey]] [[Cannon Fodder]] extraordinaire, believes the PDF to be beneath them. |

** The planet of Perlia got a "speedbump's speedbump" in the form of the Planetary Defence Volunteers, established by [[Ciaphas Cain]] in the sixth novel of the series. The author also used it as a chance to make an extended [[Shout-Out]] to [[Dad's Army|Dads Army]]. |
