The Blakist counterassaults saw forces consisting of the [[28th Division (Word of Blake)|Twenty-eighth]] and [[32nd Division (Word of Blake)|Thirty-second Militia Divisions]] augmented by the [[3rd Byrant Protectorate Militia Division|Third Bryant]], [[1st Lipton Protectorate Militia Division|First Lipton]], [[2nd New Earth Protectorate Militia Division|Second New Earth]] and [[1st Zosma Protectorate Militia Division|First Zosma Protectorate Militia Divisions]] land around Trogport and the planetary capital, Novaya Mensk. Blakist media sources claimed that the 28th, Bryant and Lipton Division forces used mine tunnels connecting to the Tupik chasm to hold off forces from the Ghost Bear [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Alpha]] and [[Omega Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Omega Galaxies]]. The media sources also reported that the Thirty-second, New Earth and Zosma Divisions were using the fortifications established on Dyev by the Draconis Combine to resist attacks from the Ghost Bear [[Kappa Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Kappa]] and [[Pi Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Pi Galaxies]].<ref name="JHS:Tp18">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 18, "A Time Of Cleansing"</ref> History records that the twenty-eighth and Thirty-second Militia Divisions were subsequently destroyed on Dyev before the end of 3076.<ref name="J:FRp126">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 126, "Word Of Blake Militia"</ref>
