The 2nd Talitha 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 Talitha along his sister units the 1st Talitha Protectorate Militia Division.
History
On December 8, 3069, Talitha was raided by the 13th Stalking Horse, one of the few surviving members of the Allied Mercenary Command. The AMC force attempted to attack the planet's Word of Blake controlled hyperpulse generator station. However, it was repulsed by Talitha's defenders.[1][2][3]
By 3072, the Word of Blake would bring Talitha into administration of Word of Blake Protectorate.[4] The planet's noted small BattleMech manufacturer Gilmour MilTech, would become the favored supplier of the Blakist's military needs.[5]
By 3075, two Divisions of Protectorate Militia, the 1st Talitha Protectorate Militia Division and 2nd Talitha Protectorate Militia Division, would be raised from that world's populace to aid in garrisoning of the planet.[6]
Talitha was liberated by forces from the Free Worlds League front in a brief campaign in May 3077. Backed up by the Clan Nova Cat Aegis-class WarShip CNC Blade, Group IV of the Free Worlds League task force rolled over the defenders, with Beta Galaxy of Clan Wolf in Exile working closely with the 3rd Lyran Guards and the Marlette Crucis March Militia on the ground, Group IV quickly achieved dominance in the air before crushing the Blakist ground forces.[7]

Composition History
Protectorate Militia Divisions were equipped with enough DropShip capacity for transportation, but not JumpShips.[8]
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.[9]
