The Army of the Socialist Revolution (Samundrese: समाजवादी क्रांति की सेना, Samājvādī Krānti kī Sénā), also known as the Revolutionary Army (क्रांतिकारी सेना, Krāntikārī Sénā), or just the SKS, is a branch of the Armed Forces of Arthadesh, originally founded as the Pardal-linked National Liberation Army during the Solarian War, before its reorganization in 1957. While the rest of the Armed Forces operates outside Arthadesh's borders to exert the country's international influence, the Revolutionary Army is intended to maintain internal order and security. The Army's main role is to protect the country's borders against invasion, foreign interference, and domestic "deviant movements".
Tracing its origin as a ideological militia founded before the Arthadesh state, the Army has participated in almost every major war in Satria since the Solarian War. Furthermore it is the main defense against the pan-Satrian insurgency supported by Ajahadya. As a result of its role, its has aggressively expanded its economic and political clout throughout the country. Today its influence encapsulates almost all aspects of Arthani society.
