 The Coalition also sports one of Known Space's largest all-volunteer militias.  In times of crisis, they are used to augment the Peacekeepers, turning them into a force capable of defending the Coalition's interests on the ground.  As a militia, their use is generally limited to territories managed by the Coalition (even during the "Annyrion Civil War", they were only used to augment the Peacekeepers along the southern coastline of Inaria).  Members conduct annual refresher training at staggered intervals throughout the year, and are encouraged to participate in monthly sessions, as well (members are compensated for their time during both).  Militia members are typically issued a battle rifle, ammunition, and other equipment in a secure storage module to be kept at home - this equipment is subject to random audits, is only authorized for use in a declared emergency, and is generally only intended to allow members to reach staging areas, where they will receive any other required equipment. The Coalition also sports one of Known Space's largest all-volunteer militias.  In times of crisis, they are used to augment the Peacekeepers, turning them into a force capable of defending the Coalition's interests on the ground.  As a militia, their use is generally limited to territories managed by the Coalition (even during the "Annyrion Civil War", they were only used to augment the Peacekeepers along the southern coastline of Inaria).  Members conduct annual refresher training at staggered intervals throughout the year, and are encouraged to participate in monthly sessions, as well (members are compensated for their time during both).  Militia members are typically issued a battle rifle, ammunition, and other equipment in a secure storage module to be kept at home - this equipment is subject to random audits, is only authorized for use in a declared emergency, and is generally only intended to allow members to reach staging areas, where they will receive any other required equipment.

 +Inarian building codes require construction of hardened blast shelters in all major buildings to protect against bombing.  The larger shelters contain medical care and command and control stations, and altogether, the estimated capacity is around 114% of the population.  The government and most businesses tend to locate critical computer information systems, communications systems, and emergency power generating equipment in their shelters as well, as they theoretically offer some defense against electromagnetic pulse weapons.
