The '''2nd Van Diemen 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 [[Van Diemen IV]]. As of [[3075]] it was one of the two units raised from this planet along the [[1st Van Diemen Protectorate Militia]].<ref name="JS:BDp103">''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 103, "protectorate militia deployment</ref>

==History==
When [[Devlin Stone]]'s colation forces struck the planet, they defended it. [[Aaron's Arrows]] along [[Kell Hounds]] aerospace units went against their space elements and shattered them, though inflicting serious losses to them.

Once colation forces landed, the Militia forces lasted three days before they fell apart.<ref name=TCp155>''Total Chaos'', pp. 155-156 "STARFALL"</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>
