The Sturmabteilung (SA, German for "Storm Division" and is usually translated as stormtroops or stormtroopers) functioned as a paramilitary organisation of the NCIEP; the Imperial Nagi party. It played a key role in George Pita's rise to power in the 1990s. SA men are often known as brownshirts from the colour of their uniform and to distinguish them from the SS who are known as blackshirts.
The SA was also the first Nagi paramilitary group to develop pseudo-military titles for bestowal upon its members. SA ranks would be adopted by several other Nagi Party groups, chief among them the SS.
