History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

In the Third Imperium era PAD was considered the last line of defense, used only if the enemy had defeated the naval forces and system defense boats.

Late Period History[edit]

During the Hard Times era, where starships became rarer and more difficult to obtain, military strategy moved more toward utilizing the ground based forces for their defense. And once the Collapse had destroyed almost all of the remaining starships, ground based systems were all that were left.
