| Parent Command | Word of Blake Protectorate Militia |
The Ingress 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 Ingress. As of 3075, it was the only unit raised from this planet.[1]
History[edit]
The Ingress Militia had lost so many soldiers fighting off the Small World invaders that they couldn't resist the occupying Word of Blake forces.[2] The Word of Blake launched a wave of attacks during the first two weeks of July 3069 that targeted the worlds of Bharat, Deneb Kaitos, Ingress, Kawich and Ruchbah; Ingress was one of the worlds to fall in the face of a conventional assault, and was incorporated into the Word of Blake Protectorate.[3] The Blakists established huge "reeducation" camps on the world, disrupting Ingress' agriculture production. The resulting food shortages caused a billion people (both on Ingress and on worlds that imported Ingress' food) to starve to death.[2]
Ingress was liberated by forces on the Federated Suns front of Operation SCOUR by December 3077. The forces that landed on Ingress were drawn from Group I, under the command of Major General Walter White-Davion of the Fifth Crucis Lancers. The Fox's Teeth had recently undergone a change in command, with David McKinnon leading following the death of Ross McKinnon early in the year. The resulting campaign was nearly bloodless, with the Fox's Teeth playing a pivotal, although unspecified, role in making it so.[4]
