They then held the drop zone in the face of Blakist counterattacks and two tactical nuclear strikes, allowing the remaining Lyran forces to land. The successful liberation of Shiloh was announced in a news broadcast by [[Myra Kellison]] on the 18th of July 3077, who hailed the remarkable situation of rival clans working together to protect Lyran forces against a common enemy as a tantalizing sign of hope that a peaceful coexistence between opposing factions may be possible.<ref name="JHS:Tp29"/> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 1st Shiloh Protectorate Militia''' |- |} ==Tactics== Unknown. ==Composition History== Protectorate Militia Divisions were equipped with enough [[DropShip]] capacity for transportation, but not [[JumpShip]]s.<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 103</ref> <div class="gamerules"> == 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.<ref name="JS:BDp143">''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 103, "Rules Annex"</ref> </div> ==Reference== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Dark Age: Republic Worlds (3130)]]'' * ''[[Jihad: Final Reckoning]]'' * ''[[Jihad Hot Spots: 3070]]'' * ''[[Jihad Hot Spots: Terra]]'' * ''[[Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents]]'' [[Category:Word of Blake Protectorate Militia Commands|Shiloh Protectorate Militia, 1st]]
