The '''Fletcher Protectorate Militia Division''' is one of the many militias raised by [[Word of Blake]] to defend the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]]. The unit was deployed on [[Fletcher]].

When new intelligence in late [[3076]] reported the [[Ghost Bear Dominion]]'s latest military forays would focus on [[Dieron]], Protectorate officials augmented the planet’s defenses. Then, in early [[3077]], additional reinforcements in the form of five [[Protectorate Militia]]s and two frontline divisions brought a level of military force previously unheard of in Dieron's history: a staggering twenty-two [[Level III]] formations and heavy orbital support. The exact Blakist forces numbered [[2nd Division (Word of Blake)|Second Division]], [[3rd Division (Word of Blake)|Third Division]], [[8th Division (Word of Blake)|Eighth Division]], [[14th Division (Word of Blake)|Fourteenth Division]], [[19th Division (Word of Blake)|Nineteenth Division]], [[23rd Division (Word of Blake)|Twenty-third Division]], and five Protectorate Militia ([[Liberty Protectorate Militia|Liberty]], [[Fletcher Protectorate Militia|Fletcher]], [[Acamar Protectorate Militia|Acamar]], [[Asta Protectorate Militia|Asta]], [[Milton Protectorate Militia|Milton]]) which were moved from their planets in the Protectorate as a surprise to the invasion forces.

When [[Clan Ghost Bear]] forces along with units from the [[Draconis Combine]] arrived, they were to get a nasty surprise. Once they passed the heavy system blockade, they started to fight Blakist commands with fury. [[Beta Galaxy (Rasalhague Dominion)|Beta Galaxy]] engaged the Militia, which was holding the Chiloe Pass while the nearby city of [[Olivet]] was being evacuated of civilians. They, along with the Twenty-third Division, were able to hold for five days, but finally Beta was able to capture Olivet. Only ten percent of the Blake forces survived.<ref name=TCp60>''Total Chaos'', p. 60: "Dieron (sidebar)"</ref>

When Clan Ghost Bear [[Beta Galaxy (Rasalhague Dominion)|Beta Galaxy]]—under command from [[Loremaster]] [[Laurie Tseng]]—grounded near [[Olivet]], Precentor Stahl ordered the Fletcher Protectorate Militia to defend the city. The unit held for five days, using the rugged [[Chiloe Pass]] to their advantage while the Blakist support services evacuated as many civilians from Olivet as possible. Despite some much-needed bolstering by the Twenty-third, the combined might of Beta Galaxy with some [[DropShip]] support finally overran the defenders, and Beta flooded into the valley, capturing the nearly empty city within a day.<ref name=TCp58>''Total Chaos'', p. 58, "Dieron (sidebar)"</ref>

By the end of the campaign nearly ninety percent of the Blakist occupying force had been wiped out, so this command was shattered as an effective unit.<ref name=TCp60>''Total Chaos'', p. 60, "Dieron (sidebar)"</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 ([[lance]]s, [[Company|companies]], and [[battalion]]s) rather than Word of Blake force arrangements.<ref name="JS:BDp143">''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 103, "Rules Annex"</ref>
