PLANETARY DEFENSE FORCE: GOVERNMENT MILITARY SERVICE

The PDF is the future equivalent of the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

Each planet with a significant population will have a PDF charged with the defense of the planet against attack, the maintainance of order in a state of emergency, the occupation of enemy planets conquered by invasion, and the second or third wave assault of enemy planets once the Marines and Commandos have secured adequate 'beacheads' on the surface to permit the PDF to be landed. PCs require minimum Strength and Constitution 9 to enlist.
