The Stahl Sieg (SS, also stylized ᛋᛋ with Kolusian runes; Zokesian for "Steel Victory") is a major paramilitary organization originally created under Francisco Grail in Zokesia, as the military and security wing of the Stahlpakt Party in 2081. Since then, the SS had grown from a small guard unit to a syndicate of considerable influence in post-Grail Zokesia and much of Kerbin.

The SS began as a small guard unit made up of party volunteers to provide security for party meetings in Ezekielgrad. Under Grail's direction (2081-2093) it grew from a small paramilitary formation in Republican Zokesia to one of the most powerful organizations in Arkadii-Zokesia. From the time of the Stahlpakt's rise to power until their climax in influence during the Second Great Kerbin War, the SS was the foremost agency of security, surveillance, and terror within Zokesia and NEOCON-aligned Kolus.

The Stahl Sieg is a non-government extranational paramilitary organization made up of multinational volunteers, acting as a quasi-mercenary force acting as a supplementary or otherwize non-national force hired by various nations to accomplish their goals without getting their hands dirty. The organization has on multiple occasions come under fire for alleged war crimes and acts against kerbalkind, and until 2140 was a Zokesian-aligned force on retainer for the President of Zokesia to act in lieu of the uniformed forces. The Stahl Sieg has seen combat on every single continent of Kerbin and has distinguished itself in fighting to the last man, achieving victory against all odds, and being on the payroll of some of the best and worst names in Kerbal history. The organization's goals are unclear to most of the nations on Kerbin.

Origins

The Stahl Sieg's origins can be traced directly back to the Blütgart, a paramilitary force founded by Francisco Grail in 2073 as an intimidation force for the Zokesian far-right political party the Stahl Pact. Grail was the leader of the Blutgard during the 2075 elections and was arrested once for battery, assaulting a Union of Workers politican and served 2 years in state prison, where he wrote the book "The Steel of Victory," foretelling the economic crisis and blaming the future shortages on immigration, which while not necessarily true has been associated as "visionary" and led many followers to join him in hate of foreigners.

In 2081, the Blütgart was reformed into the Stahl Sieg following the defeat of Zokesian forces in the Doren War of 2081, which saw most of the conventional forces of the Coalition destroyed in the east. With the economic power of Zokesia lacking fresh kerbpower to equip its newest replacement units, volunteers from allied nations were enlisted to fight in national divisions alongside the rebuilt Zokesian Forces. In the Second Great Kerbin War, the Stahlsieg grew to tenfold its original size as kerbals across the NEOCON alliance signed up to fight the CSD and Third Way Alliance.

Alleged War Crimes

In 2088, Tekkian troops in Puge-Tatar were allegedly "beheaded and put on spixes along the road to Zokesia," though many from both Zokesia and Tekkia deny these events actually occured.

Following the deployment of an E-class asteroid in 2089 from Gotterdamerung, the province of New Arcovy was obliterated thoroughly by SS and Army divisions. Everything was burned by the Stahl Sieg., including villages, cities, and farms. 6 million were estimated killed in the initial attack, followed by 2-4 more being caught in the holocaust of burning that followed. The remaining 2 million were rounded up and forced into work gangs to rebuild roads and infrastrucutre to continue trade with Valeria. Multiple historians now say the death toll was far less due to overreporting of births in New Arcovy in the years leading up to the event.

In 2144, the Stahl Sieg was reported to have killed hundreds of Grestinian civilians in a culling of allegedly infected persons during a virus outbreak in Strelka.
