History[edit]
The militia has been always a last tier of defense, but after the FedCom Civil War, it was forced to take on a greater role on the planetary defense. Part of the planetary militia was reassigned to protect the vulnerable Doering Electronics Melrose Valley facilities.
Assigned to protext the protect Doering Electronics plant Melrose Valley when the Word of Blake forces invaded Hesperus II, they were no match for the advanced Sixteenth Division and were shattered by them.[1]
By 3079, the Militia of Hesperus II was augmented by elements of the militia from Hesperus III. Based out of the Melrose Valley on South Whitman, the militia contingent from Hesperus III is deployed on a rotating basis. The militia is deployed close to the Doering Electronics plant.[2]

3079[edit]
- The militia contingent from Hesperus III, deployed usually in Hesperus III where the inhospitable environment makes it difficult to deploy infantry in anything other than battle armor or heavy exosuits, has forced to rely as result on combat vehicles.[2]
Rules[edit]
3068[edit]
All infantry of the Hesperus II militia are counted as XTC troops at no extra cost. The unit was poorly supplied despite their prestigious posting, and when rolling for lance weight on the vehicle RAT, subtract –2 from the result.[1]
