History

Citi-Def refers to the Civil Defence units in Mega-City One, groups of trained volunteers from each individual city block who are legally entitled to bear arms against attackers in defence of their blocks. Unfortunately, the often tribal nature of the city blocks has in the past led to rival Cit-Def units warring on their neighbours. The Judges, though seeing the necessity for them, tend to regard them as something of a nuisance since many of them are more than a little deranged.
