Origin[]
Perimeter Patrol salute
The Perimeter Patrol is responsible for guiding the hundreds of tiny planets (including Rondos, where they are based, as well as Gykos, Malooka, Menos, Pako, Xarpot, Rako, Zaloo, and Danaron) on the outer fringe of our solar system.
The patrol operates on a code: Treating planet natives and fellow patrolmen is of great importance, as is obedience to orders. If a patrolman gets "space sickness", a type of mental breakdown, he is set adrift in a "space lifeboat" to die.

- Originally, the Perimeter Patrol's logo was a backward letter "P" next to a regular letter "P". In a later story, the backward and forward "P" are replaced by a vertical line surmounted with an oval shape.
