* The ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' equivalent is the PDF (Planetary Defense Forces). 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 Cadian Interior Guard is one of the better-equipped PDF units—one in ten soldiers, regardless of skill, are recruited to the PDF, so Cadia actually has a home guard better than many planets' best troops. Seeing how as Cadia is a [[World of Badass]] sitting right in front of a giant [[Hell Gate]] [[Negative Space Wedgie]], it's probably for the best.
** 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]].
