Drakon V Planetary Defence Force

Split into two main armies - the City defence force and the defence force for the rest of the planet. Both consist of a core of well-trained but unseasoned full-time soldiers and less disciplined reservists of one sort or another. Total of around a million personnel in each, with around 2,000 battle tanks - almost all Leman Russes, heavy on the Demolishers - and approximately 20,000 other armoured fighting vehicles with one sort or another.

The core troops' job is to guard the defence installations, maintain fortifications, train reservists, and serve to assist the constabulary in quelling local population uprisings. The reservist regiments are organised into local militias and are called up in times of disaster.

Tech level allows for adequate maintenance, but not construction, of all standard Imperial Guard vehicles. Some locally produced Tauros-like vehicles are used in the wilder locales of the planet
