The Volunteer Northern Corps (German: Freiwilliger-Nordenkorps) was a unit composed of personnel from the air force and army of the Englean Empire which served the Kingdom of Talvistova from 1938 to 1940 against Librira. This unit was created at the request of several soldiers wishing to assist the Talvistovans in the war against the communist Librirans, who at the time remained unrecognised by the imperial government since 1894. Requiring the integral Imperial Army to strengthen the border with Rezua, Emperor Wilhelm III, Englean Empire approved its creation in late 1938. The unit was equipped with various contemporary equipment of the Englean military, including multiple aircraft employed in the Imperial Air Force (Bernhardt Bt-149, Kadelburg Ka-89, Nesserschmitt Ne-105). Upon the cessation of the war, the unit was disbanded and returned to the mainland Empire.
