I think I have to agree with the stance you are wishing to take, we keep a low profile and in the mean time we begin to hunker down. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst as they say. At this time I think it would do us ill to act as two separate entity's trying to achieve the same goal, so I propose we work together to create a Militia for Pygar.
It would be on a volunteer bases of course. Already established Policing forces such as your Pontifical Guard will remain in their roles whilst the Militia will focus on defending the settlements as a whole. I agree with the use of lighter arms over full military equipment. A militia should be lightly armed but considering it would be volunteers the more advanced equipment may be daunting and even scary for many. On top of this, which will lead into my next point, the equipment being light and mobile will work to our advantage.

Pygar has alot of Natural defences that we can utilize. The fact the bulk of the Settlements are within the caverns and caves ensure that Orbital Bombardments will be less effective, not to mention the constant Storms interfering with sensors. The storm's also make it hard for any sustained air cover or planet side bombing runs. With our infrastructure housed within the rocks, the narrow cave's and vantage points being mobile will be key to our Militia's defensive strategies.

Organise whatever equipment it is you require to begin arming and recruiting and I will do the same. Together we will ensure Pygar remains a Safe Haven.
