| Hean Protectorate Militia Division | |
| Affiliation | Word of Blake |
| Parent Command | Word of Blake Protectorate Militia |
The Hean 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 in Hean. As of 3075 it was the only unit raised from this planet.[1]
History[edit]
The Word of Blake conquered Hean in a quick campaign during the second week of August 3069 and incorporated it into the Word of Blake Protectorate.[2] In 3077, Federated Suns forces arrived in the system as part of Operation SCOUR, where they faced a previously unknown SDS that destroyed the Fox-class corvette FSS Indefatigable and inflicted serious losses on the Fifteenth Arcturan Guards and Fox's Teeth. The Coalition forces withdrew from the system.[3][4]
It is not known what happened to the Hean Protectorate Militia after that action, but the planet was still in Word of Blake hands in 3079.[5][6]

Composition History[edit]
Protectorate Militia Divisions were equipped with enough DropShip capacity for transportation, but not JumpShips.[7]
Rules[edit]
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.[8]
