Samudra People's Liberation Army

The Samudra People's Liberation Army (SPLA) is the armed wing of the Communist Party of Samudra (CPS). It was founded by Ng Choon Seng on 15 October, 1942, with the intention of fighting against Yashima for a free communist Samudra. The Maoist SPLA conducts its armed guerilla struggle based on the strategical line of protracted "people's war", and is presently led by Ng Choon Fang, the granddaughter of Choon Seng. It is suspected there are around 4,600 SPLA fighters as of 2049.

History
The SPLA began as a minor band of around 40 guerillas under Ng Choon Seng in 1936, then calling themselves the "Reapers" and based in the jungles near the town of Pekan Teluk Tengah. This faction was dedicated to protecting the interests of the Zhonghuan population in Pekan Teluk Tengah against the Yashimese colonial administration and competing Nusantaran ethnic gangs. In 1940, during World War II, Ng's force aligned itself with the Zhonghuan-dominated Communist Party of Samudra to take advantage of the situation and fight for Samudran independence. The organisation was reformed into the SPLA on 15 October 1942, merging with other armed wings of the CPS to form a larger militia force.
