{{note|name}} There is some confusion over the correct naming convention for this company, with both names being used in ''[[Objectives: Periphery]]'', whilst Protectorate Defense Conglomerate is used in ''[[Experimental Technical Readout: RetroTech]]'' and Protectorate Arms Conglomerate is used in ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' and ''[[Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries]]''. An Ask the Writers question was asked to clarify if the two names related to two different companies, the same company trading under two different names, or was possibly a mistake. The official response indicated that the difference was likely a mistake, but that the in-universe explanation was that they were the same company trading under two different names for various undefined reasons:<ref name="ATW20160218"/>
