Unit Brief
The Irian 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 Irian.
History
In December 3075 a successful rebel uprising seized control of Irian. The plan evidently involved - or had even been organized by - IrTech, and involved conspirators and rebels within the IrTech headquarters, the Protectorate Militia, IrTech corporate security and the local media as well as the existing rebel forces. At a prearranged time the existing rebel movement launched probing attacks against the various headquarters and major garrisons of the Protectorate Militia. As those probing attacks were launched, IrTech corporate security forces seized and locked down all of the local automated defenses and key facilities. A large rebel attack was then launched near the Kirin River while the local and planetary media stations all began broadcasting messages inciting an uprising, messages which also activated rebel cells within the Irian Protectorate Militia.[1]
Those rebel cells included a significant contingent from the HeavyHell Raisers, who were reinforced with mercenaries slipped onto Irian by IrTech in secret, and who worked with the HeavyHell Raisers to secure the Irian BattleMech Works; the battle took place on the 8th of December, and saw the rebel HeavyHell Raisers having to go into combat with two companies of their comrades who had remained loyal to the Blakist regime.[2]
The only Protectorate Militia formation to remain able to coordinate a defense was the Irian Protectorate Militia, which fought for three days before retreating offworld[3][4], giving the outgoing regime time to launch a scorched-earth retreat, a retreat that saw nuclear devices used to destroy a number of industrial complexes.[1] One of those facilities destroyed by the Blakists was the sane Irian BattleMech Works plant the HeavyHell Raisers had helped seize.[2]
The unit most probably died or surrendered at the end of the Jihad.
