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 the United Socialist Republic of Arthasthan and the armed wing of the country's founding and ruling political party, the Arthani branch of the Satrian Section of the Worker's International (SSWI-AS). It was originally founded as the Pardal-linked National Liberation Army during the Solarian War before it was reorganized into its present form in 1957.
Tracing its origin as a ideological militia founded during the Etrurian colonial period, the Army has participated in almost every major war in Satria since the Solarian War. While the rest of the Armed Forces operates outside Arthasthan 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 from invasion, foreign interference, and domestic "deviant movements". It is the main defense against domestic revolt, especially the pan-Satrian insurgency supported by Ajahadya. As a result of its role, its has aggressively expanded its economic and political influence to encapsulate almost all aspects of Arthani society.
