The Rubrumian Special Air Service (RSAS) is a unit of the Rubrumian Army founded in 1939 as a regiment, and later reconstituted as a corps in 1950. This special forces unit undertakes a number of roles including covert reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, direct action, hostage rescue and human intelligence gathering. Much like its origins, the operations where the Rubrumian SAS contributes is often classified.
The Rubrumian SAS traces its roots to the Lucis Commandos, widely considered to be most elite formation in Eordis during the Second Europan War. The First Special Air Regiment formed in 1936 would lay the background for the formation of the RSAS. After its disbandment in 1945, most of its duties were carried on by the RSAS. In conjunction with the Erebonian-Rubrumian Army Corps Treaty of 1920, the RSAS continues to cooperate in certain operations with the Erebonian Special Air Service.
