The '''Nanking Protectorate Militia''' is one of the many militias raised by [[Word of Blake]] to defend the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]]. The unit was deployed in [[Nanking]]. As of [[3075]] it was the only unit raised from this planet.<ref name="JS:BDp103">''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 103, "protectorate militia deployment</ref>

Nanking was one of the worlds incorporated into the Word of Blake Protectorate, and would remain a Protectorate world until late [[3077]]. The world fell to a Blakist-sponsored coup that took control of Kallontown in [[3071]], and then the [[7th Division (Word of Blake)|7th Division]] arrived to deal with the planetary militia. The execution of [[Duke]] Anson Jaekel on 12 August 3071 demoralized Nanking's remaining defenders and aborted the establishment of an anti-Blakist underground movement. For the next six years it was an important logistical world for the Word of Blake.<ref name="TCp235">''Total Chaos'', p. 235-236, "NANKING"</ref>

On the 24th of September 3077 forces from the allied coalition assembled by [[Devlin Stone]] and the [[CCAF]] arrived in the Nanking system almost simultaneously. Unable to unwilling to coordinate their efforts, both groups attacked the Word of Blake forces on the planet, but when the Blakists were beaten the badly damaged Capellan forces began using nukes to attack the allied coalition forces. This prompted the allied coalition forces - a task group from the Federated Suns front of [[Operation SCOUR]] - to retreat.<ref name="J:FRp57">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 57, "The Jihad in Review"</ref><ref name="TCp235">''Total Chaos'', p. 235-236, "NANKING"</ref>

The Capellan forces began their assault by pushing their [[DropShip]]s to maximum speed, travelling from the jump point to Nanking in two-thirds of the normal time, but at a punishing 2.5 gravities - a rate of speed that caused numerous injuries amongst the Capellan personnel, from sprains to outright heart attacks and gave them little opportunity to rest prior to the attack. The result of this punishing approach was that the forces led by [[Warrior House Fujita]] were exhausted before landing, and when the WoB deployed the [[Nanking Protectorate Militia]], it managed to keep the Capellan forces confined to their initial landing zone.<ref name="JHS:Tp39">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 39, "War To The Knife"</ref>

== Rules ==
 
As long as a Protectorate Militia force is fighting on its homeworld and is acting as the scenario's Defender, the Protectorate Militia force receives the Force the Initiative and Off-Map Movement special abilities.
 
If deployed as the Attacker in a scenario, the Protectorate Militia force loses its Force the Initiative ability, but retains its Off-Map Movement capability.
 
 
 
If deployed on a world other than its homeworld (such as an Epsilon Eridani force being deployed on Genoa), the Protectorate Militia force not only loses all of its special abilities, but also suffers a –2 Initiative modifier.
 
 
 
Although Blakist-based, Protectorate Militia forces may use standard Inner Sphere force arrangements (Lances, Companies, and Battalions) rather than Word of Blake force arrangements.<ref name="JS:BDp143">''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 103, "Rules Annex"</ref>
