The '''Venezian Militia''' is a | The '''Venezian Militia''' is a paramilitary force on the lawless [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] planet of [[Venezia]].<ref name="ll61">'''[[Halo: Last Light]]''', ''page 61'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | ||
==History== | |||
In [[2553#April|April of 2553]], [[Staffan Sentzke]] intended to use {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} ''[[Pious Inquisitor]]'' to find out about [[Naomi-010|his daughter]]'s disappearance by threatening [[Earth]] with the ship. Then, he intended to hand the battlecruiser over to the militia.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 115''</ref> However, [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Malcolm Geffen]] and [[Corporal]] [[Vasily Beloi]], part of the highly covert [[Kilo-Five]] [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] intelligence unit, infiltrated the Venezian Militia to stop Sentzke. Using a tracer planted by Vaz, Kilo-Five attempted to seize control of ''Pious Inquisitor'' using Venezia's slipspace communicator. However, their hack was foiled by the ship's [[Huragok]], [[Sometimes Sinks]], who alerted Sentzke of the attempted intrusion.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''pages 240-245''</ref> The two were taken to the [[Stuttgart armory]] to be interrogated.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 246''</ref> They were eventually rescued when the rest of Kilo-Five raided the armory.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 338''</ref> | |||
In [[ | In July of 2553, the Venezian Militia pledged their support to the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]]—a cult formed from the [[Covenant remnants|remnants]] of the [[Covenant]]—and provided them with weaponry and a safe haven in [[New Tyne]].<ref name="ll127">'''Halo: Last Light''', ''pages 127-130'' (Google Play edition)</ref> The militia also formed allegiances with [[Minister of Protection|Minister]] [[Arlo Casille]] of the [[Gao Republic]], who wished to break [[Gao]]'s remaining ties with the [[Unified Earth Government]]. When the minister discovered the presence of [[Intrepid Eye|an ancilla]] on [[Gao]], he contacted the Venezian Militia and the Keepers.<ref name="ll61"/> The militia, represented on Gao by [[Reza Linberk]], supported the Keepers in reaching the planet and attempting to retrieve the ancilla, though the militia covertly intended to steal the ancilla for themselves.<ref name="ll127"/> However, the [[UNSC]] eventually managed to defeat the cult and leave Gao with the AI.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''page 334'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | ||
==Organization and equipment== | |||
The militia's operations are governed by the Militia Council.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 136''</ref> The Venezian militia's headquarters are located in [[New Tyne]], Venezia's capital city. [[Stavros' Middle East Asian Cuisine and Bar|Stavros's bar]] was a common meeting spot for militia members.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 144''</ref> The militia employs many of Venezia's citizens, however, most lack experience and are aging human [[insurrectionist]]s.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 148''</ref> The usual militia attire is mismatched camo pants, tactical vests, and a plain t-shirt.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 176''</ref> | |||
As of [[2553|April 2553]], the militia had gained control of several {{Class|Calypso|exfiltration craft}}, which they kept at the [[New Tyne Airfield]].<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 184''</ref> The militia has acquired several human and [[Covenant]] aircraft including [[AC-220 Vulture]]s, [[AV-14 Hornet]]s, [[B-65 Shortsword]]s, [[D82-EST Darter]]s, and [[Type-52 Phantom]]s.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 103''</ref> | |||
