The '''Lelithar Planetary Defence Force''' is the [[Planetary Defense Force|planetary defence force]] of the planet [[Lelithar]].{{Fn|1b}}
==Organisation==
The Lelithar PDF consists of several thousand [[regiment]]s, divided into 65 army groups.{{Fn|1a}}
At the start of the [[13th Black Crusade]] it had 1,242 [[Regiment#Light Infantry Regiment|light regiments]], 245 [[Regiment#Mechanised Infantry Regiment|mechanised regiments]], 91 [[Regiment#Armoured Regiment|armoured regiments]] and 52 [[Regiment#Artillery Regiment|artillery regiments]]. Furthermore, it fielded 3 regiments of the Governor's Own Mounted Guard, 17 regiments of Wilderness Patrol, 951 Regiments of Volunteer Reserves, 1,874 regiments of Citizen's Militia and 27 regiments of Off-World Settler's Volunteers.{{Fn|1b}}
==History==
After a powerful figure known as the [[Voice of the Emperor]] emerged, 40 percent of the PDF forces changed their allegiance and deserted, dispersing to [[Yayor]], [[Amistel]], [[Albitern]] and [[Bar-el]].{{Fn|1a}} The [[Legio Ignatum]], the [[Death Spectres]] and the [[Jouran Dragoons]] were deployed to siege the planetary capital to rectify the situation, causing a large portion of the PDF to rebel and killing the [[Imperial Commander|Imperial governor]].{{Fn|1c}}
These events reduce the effective strength of the loyal PDF forces down to 954 light regiments, 124 mechanised regiments, 52 armoured regiments and 45 artillery regiments with 3 companies of Governor's Own Mounted Guard, 2 regiments of Wilderness Patrol, 53 regiments of Volunteer Reserves, 474 regiments of Citizen's Militia and 27 regiments of Off-World Settler's Volunteers in reserve.{{Fn|1c}}
