The Selbstschutzverband (Luthorian: Self-Protection Associations) sometimes abbreviated as SSV are primarily social organizations dedicated to former military officers of post-Dundorfian Reich states, however underneath the leadership of Reichsführer Wulf Rädler the group expanded to include paramilitary units that are made up of Auslanddundorfische residing in foreign countries. The first of these units being the Free Majatran Legion which has taken up volunteers from all Majatran countries, notably from former Dorvish allies of Kafuristan and Al'Badara. During the Cildanian Civil War (3875-3880) the SSV raised two new regiments one of Cildanian Auslanddundorfische and one of Duntrekkers who are considered to be Auslanddundorfische.
