The Satavian Crisis was a period of instability and insurgency that began in 1976 and ended in 1983 in Satavia. Beginning after the fall of the National Party dictatorship in a 1976 coup d'état, the conflict initially centred primarily around the Orange Province, but had spilled over into the rest of Satavia by the end of 1981. The conflict was fought largely between the government and armed forces of Satavia against several far-right paramilitary groups, opposed to the fall of the National Party regime and election of a socialist government, the largest of which was De Volksmilitie. The conflict began as a low-level disturbance in National Party strongholds within the Orange Provcince, but by 1977 had escalated into an insurgency across the Orange Province.
