##### 1970 Massacre

In mid 1970, civilians began protesting for true democracy and liberalism within Austa. As the National Army[1] shrugged it off at first, the protest grew into a riot and the army was deployed, the army began warning shots and civilians attempted to assult or steal the weapons from the Army, this ended up with the first kill. Soldiers were ordered to fire upon at will, streets were covered in blood and bodies as the National Army swept through the crowed. This resulted in a fist to gun war with 30-40 civilians being shot, injured and even killed. This resulted in tensions with Allutia has they did not accept this as a humane solution to a riot. This was resolved with the commanding officer[2] arrested and easier policies to resolve riots implemented[3].

1. The National Army was considered the main military force and police force, it gave the eligibility to be deployed as police.
2. The officer arrested in 1970 still remains in Federal Prison to this day and will be tried on court on May 1972.
3. The policies indicated that only the "military" could not be deployed and lethal use required permission from the Commanding District Officer, these policies were dissolved after N.I.C.O.S was founded.
