Volin militia

The Volin Preservatory Guard, most commonly known as the Volin militia, is a terrorist organization founded in Austro-Caldera due to the consistent mistreatment of Indigeno-Calderan people by the Pro-Gothic Volkspartei government. They are designated as a terrorist group by Austro-Caldera, and are illegal in all provinces except Bavogia.

Early Beginnings
The need for a Volin organization began in the early 1960s when Gothic police began to routinely abuse their power against Volin citizens, and Volins realized that they needed to have a way to protect themselves and show their oppression. So in 1961, the Organization for the betterment of Indigeno-Calderan peoples founded to organize protests and display opposition to Gothic control. The protests seemed to be ineffective, but it gathered public attention, so the Organization for the betterment of Indigeno-Calderan peoples continued to perform peaceful protests for decades.

In 1994, Big Eagle, a popular spokesperson for the OBICP, began working at a grocery store in a suburb of Neu Maessen as a manager. Later that same year, Gothic militias boycotted the store for not having any signs or listing products in Gothic. On December 13th, 1994, a Gothic militia assaulted the store with firearms and shot at Big Eagle while destroying everything in the store that had Volin text on it. Disgusted with these actions and fed up with being mistreated, Big Eagle used his connections in the OBICP to arm Volin citizens and organize attacks against Gothic grocery stores. Other leaders in the OBICP were unhappy about this decision to misappropriate the peaceful organization's resources, and tried to remove Big Eagle's power from the organization, this had the opposite effect, however, when a large portion of the organization split between Big Eagle and the original organization. A dispute erupted in the organization over whether peace or violence was better, and this dispute continued until 2001, when Big Eagle gathered people who supported him and established a formal armed militia for protests.

First Assault
The Volin militia's first and largest attack was in 2003, during the Siege of Little Caldera. Volin militia initially only protested with firearms, but this soon erupted into a full scale battle for several months.

Terrorist designation
The Volin militia was designated as a terrorist organization by Austro-Caldera after the 2003 revolt, with Prime Leader Karl Steinenkatz increasing the funding of police all over the nation and establishing martial law in big southeastern cities to prevent the Volin militia from spreading. Steinenkatz also tried to move soldiers into Bavogia but was blocked by local police and the provincial government. To work around this, Steinenkatz used the Little Caldera Police department to enforce laws in Bavogia, and this led to conflict against the Volin miltia.
