The First Tikonov 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 Tikonov. As of 3075 it was one of the three unit raised from this planet along the Second Tikonov Protectorate Militia and the Third Tikonov Protectorate Militia.[1]
History[edit]
In 3069, the Word of Blake launched an offensive against Tikonov through September 3069 in an attempt to conquer the planet; the attackers met fierce resistance from the defending forces, who went so far as to destroy the local HPG facilities during their defense of the planet.[2]
In October 3074 rebels within the Blakist Protectorate hired mercenary units on generous terms to strike at an Earthwerks Limited facility on Tikonov. The combined mercenary and rebel force successfully seized the facility, which was defended by security forces from the Tikonov Protectorate Militia, at which point at least some of the mercenaries were able to depart with their acquired salvage while the rebels ransacked the facility. Additional Blakist forces intent on recapturing the facility arrived soon after the departure of the mercenaries only to be hit with nuclear weapons by the rebels - weapons which may also have engulfed the facility.[3][4]
On the 20th of July 3075 the hold the Word of Blake had established over Tikonov was broken by an insurrection amongst the planet's population. Despite having their control over the planet shattered, the retreating Blakist forces took the opportunity to level more than half of the planet's factory complexes.[5][6] Having lacked the forces to adequately control Tikonov, the Blakists had subjected the planet to years of destructive warfare.[7]
The unit most probably died or surrendered at the end of the Jihad, though its fate cannot be confirmed.[citation needed]
