The SCI Militia

The SCI Militia, known simply as the Militia, was a small militia that resided on the SCI servers. It was founded by Crucial Canadian, but following a reform, Vodkan became the leader.https://steamcommunity.com/groups/scimilitiaatsciservers/announcements/detail/1666775482380937852 Its primary purpose was to provide military aid to the SDF. Despite this goal, the Militia is mainly known for its role in the SCI War, where it sporadically changed sides throughout the conflict. Eventually, C.G.I. was victorious over the Militia after a series of decisive battles. In order to ensure lasting peace, the leaders of the two factions had peace talks. The Militia became inactive, marking the SCI War as its last. From a Coalition/Eagle Initiative standpoint, the term "Militia" was designated to any armed individuals possessing a certain degree of organization and/or leadership. 
== General Presence on SCI Servers ==
Militia were frequently spotted on the SCI Server chain according to reports from the SDF and FOXCBM. Sometimes these militia groups were large enough to form proto-factions within SCI.
=== SCI #1 ===
SCI Servers #1 was the favorite of the SCI community. It featured many vehicle addons, M9K, WAC, and most notably Gbombs 5. This server was essentially inhospitable due to the constant chaos that flowed all the way until SCI's shut down in April of 2019. Despite this, various militia groups and the Coalition endured.
==== Skirmish with Izakia ====
In the midst of the brutal SCI War, IZK joined the server and established a forward outpost on a hill. Eyewitness accounts from SDF and FOXCBM reported incessant RPG fire coming from the general population of the server toward the outpost, eventually resulting in IZK leaving. The Coalition credited the resistance to an ambiguous militia, however it is unknown whether the combatants were actually militia.
=== SCI #2 ===
SCI Servers #2 was the birthplace of the ULSCI, hence the "SCI" in its abbreviation. The server's main addon was Neurotec, an addon pack featuring numerous armored vehicles, ships, and aircraft all meant for mass pvp. Phil_2014 was previously a member of the Legendary Protectors Navy, until he accused the navy of assaulting civilian targets and thus deserted. He rallied together a ragtag militia and obliterated the Legendary Protectors Navy on gm_flatbuild thanks to the support of the general population who sided with him, one of whom being Baccio, who openly pledged his support for the rebellion. Following the victory, the ULSCI was solidified as a full-scale faction.
==== Post-Rebellion Militia Prescence ====
The ULSCI often maintained positive relations with proto-factions and smaller militia groups, cooperating with them to project their power over the server. Swat07 appeared around 2017, launching a surprise attack on a ULSCI-FOXCBM naval base which triggered the SCI Summer War. However, a ragtag militia could not hold up against the two giants, and surrendered in the late summer.
==== The Proven Rebellion ====
SCI Servers had a rather unique set of names for its ranking system. Proven was the rank between User and Senior-Proven, and was granted after 6 hours of playtime on the server. At 7:30pm, a swarm of aircraft flying from a base at the northwest corner of the map suddenly bombed a ULSCI naval base on the main island of gm_castaway. A vast majority of these aircraft were piloted by players ranked Proven and below. The ULSCI pushed back and bombed the base in return. Afterward, the ragtag army scattered, never reorganizing to fight back again.
