Unit Brief
The Vega 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 Vega. As of 3075 it was the only unit raised from this planet.[1]
History
In 3069, the 20th Division split itself up and its elements struck the Combine worlds of Cebalrai and Vega. Successfully, invading these worlds, the 20th's elements trained these worlds' respective Protectorate Militia to assume garrison duty on them.[2][3]
In late August 3075[4] Xi Galaxy[5] of Clan Ghost Bear arrived and launched a campaign to liberate the planet, ignoring all hails from Draconis Combine forces.[4][6]

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.[7]
