The '''Addicks 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 [[Addicks]]. As of [[3075]] there were two unit raised from this planet, the other one being the [[1st Addicks Protectorate Militia]].<ref name="JS:BDp103">''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 103: "Protectorate Militia Deployment"</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
As Addicks did not willingly join the Protectorate, it quickly developed a strong, anti-Blakist underground operation, built around the core of survivors of the [[Addicks Draconis March Militia]] that started striking at Blakist targets and their supporters. Precentor Hawley Shay tried cracking down on the resistance, only to cause a backlash against the Protectorate.<br />
<br />
When his field commanders failed to crack the resistance, Shay met several of his commanders face to face, and in order to keep the resistance off-balance, Shay traveled to each location by air, sea and rail.<br />
<br />
On the 13 April 3075 was able to capture one of the [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] that belonged to the precentor's personal escort. The information they got from him prepared the resistance for their next action. On the 17 June [[3075]], while Precentor Shy was returning to Saint Randall, his train was attacked in Cassim Plains by forces of the Addicks resistance force. The resistance lost five [['Mech]]s and vehicles while destroying four of the six escorts. The rebels had destroyed part of the rail line to prevent the train from escaping, and caused the train to derail, destroying it. But Shay escaped. At the last rail station, he had switched to a [[VTOL]] and escaped the attack.<br />
<br />
Four months later, on the 22 October 3075, the Precentor was killed after that attack an unknown sniper got him with a difficult shot while he was visiting the [[Johnston Industries]] factory on planet. The resistance has denied they were the ones behind it.<ref name="StRandall"/><br />
<br />
Addicks was liberated by April [[3077]], by troops fighting as a part of Group IV of the [[Federated Suns]] front of [[Operation SCOUR]], led by [[Khan]] [[Phelan Kell]] of [[Clan Wolf in Exile]]. Addicks was one of four planets which made up the first wave of the Federated Suns campaign,<ref name="JHS:Tp36">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 36: "First Wave Complete"</ref> and the campaign to liberate Addicks was actually brought forward by a month due to the success the [[12th Vegan Rangers]] had during their recon raid on Addicks in early 3077, where the Rangers nearly routed the Blakist defenders on their own.<ref name="JHS:Tp36A">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 36: "S.O.S."</ref><br />

== Rules ==<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Although Blakist-based, Protectorate Militia forces may use standard Inner Sphere force arrangements (Lances, Companies, and Battalions) rather than Word of Blake force arrangements.<ref name="JS:BDp143">''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 103: "Rules Annex"</ref><br />
