The Special Purpose Ostevia Regiment (abbreviated SPOR), also known as the Ostevian Revolutionary Forces, is a paramilitary organization loosely formed by Ossotian warlord Urakov Nidovich in 1986 following the Ossotia War. It was regarded as one of the main hostage-taking, kidnapping, and oil-smuggling groups operating in Ossotia and southwest Beleroskov during the period that followed the breakup of the UCSS. The organization has been labeled a terrorist group by the Beleroskovian government and many of its allies, while governments in WEDA and the ANS have labeled it an insurgency rather than giving it a terrorist designation.
The stated goals of the group are for an independent Ostevia, currently a oblast in southwest Beleroskov bordering Ossotia. The group and its many offshoots, also operating in the oblasts of Rasknhka and Luzhasna, have succeeded in attacks against Beleroskovian military outposts and convoys, assassinations, and kidnappings, as well as major smuggling operations. Since the early 2000s, their membership has been largely secretive and unknown, as attacks are carried out in small groups or by single fighters. SPOR is known to blend well within communities they reside, and as such the Beleroskovian authorities have often carried out raids in which they detain hundreds of civilians in attempts to capture even a small number of fighters.
