After the chaos of [[Operation GUERRERO]] Terra Firma and Capolla joined forces to form the [[Terracap Confederation]]. This small organization existed until the Word of Blake established their [[Word of Blake Protectorate|Protectorate]] and encouraged the two worlds to join. Even the Blakists only administered the world with a light hand. In exchange however the Capollians allowed the Blakists to station troops and build "reeducation centers" on the world. The Capollians studiously ignored the rumors and rumblings that came from those facilities for most of the [[Jihad]].<ref name=DARWp236/>

An interview conducted by [[Cristen Gardner]] of [[MERCNET]] in early [[3077]] gave the mercenary unit [[Deliah's Gauntlet]] the opportunity to speak about the incorporation of Capolla into the Protectorate, and the reasons behind the Gauntlet fleeing from Capolla in [[3076]]. Finn indicated that the Blakists had initially treated the population and the mercenaries well, giving the population substantial liberties and a feeling of freedom, but from [[3072]] onwards the Word had actively cultivated a restrictive, paranoid attitude among the population, similar to that of the days when Capolla had been a part of the [[Capellan Confederation]]. This reached a peak in [[3075]], when paranoia and suspicion combined with rumors of the presence of weapons of mass destruction led elements of the civilian population and local Militia to treat the resident population from the [[One Star Faith]] as scapegoats, based on the advanced technology the Faithful possessed.<ref name="JHS:Tp22"/>

Having struck against the Faithful, the Militia then mustered to attack the Gauntlet, who managed to flee into the jungle before the Militia engaged. Supported with supplies and information from the local population, the Gauntlet managed to fight a guerrilla war against the Militia forces, avoiding major confrontations and engagements, until the Militia massed to strike against them. The Gauntlet defeated the militia at the cost of a [[lance]] of their own [['Mechs]] and one of their [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]]; the Gauntlet then managed to seize a ''[[Union]]''-class [[DropShip]] from the Militia and escape off world, although they were unable to rescue the surviving One Star Faithful left on Capolla.<ref name="JHS:Tp22"/>
