Skye Province Militia

"...Each regional militia unit takes the form of a miniature RCT (Regimental Combat Team). Most are built around a 'Mech regiment with five supporting infantry regiments and two armor regiments. Additionally, since the formation of the Lyran Alliance, supporting aerospace fighters have been attached to the core 'Mech regiment, unlike the AFFC militias of their origins, which still keep their fighters as a separate command. The militias draw their equipment from the Rep-Dep Corps but are considered low priority and thus rarely have supply stockpiles or advanced technology. Most militias have integral DropShip assets but few have their own JumpShips..."

"When originally organized in 3043, the elements of the former Nekkar Skye March Militia were drawn from throughout the Lyran, and even the Federated Suns, State Commands in an effort to place a loyal unit in the heart of the traditionally secessionist Skye Federation. Unfortunately, Archon Melissa Steiner-Davion and her husband sorely misjudged the extent of the influence Duke Ryan Steiner and Free Skye held within the Lyran military machine. By the end of the decade, Skye loyalists held most of the command positions within the unit, with Skye Federation natives rapidly filling up the lower ranks as well.

Today, the LAAF is keeping a close eye on the unit and especially on its officers. Though it was not implicated in the most recent rebellion attempt, the entire Militia RCT did enter a state of high alert as the first stage of the rebellion began, declaring martial law in the few regions where protests against secession would likely occur. Likewise, LIC investigations indicate that several of the unit's senior officers are loyal to Duke Steiner-Kelswa."

Tactics

"With one of the lowest training budgets in the LAAF, the Militia is struggling to maintain even the most basic of combat proficiencies."
