Special Tasks Regiment

The Special Tasks Regiment (STR) is a special forces unit of the Sakaian Army. It was founded as a regiment in 1939 by Lieutenant General Ku Kalili as a response to the development and increasing sophistication of modern warfare techniques observed in the World War, though in the years since its role has expanded to encompass a larger amount of domestic security concerns also. At present the unit specializes in and is tasked with a number of responsibilities including counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, direction action and covert reconnaissance. It is currently unknown if the unit has been operationally deployed beyond Sakaian borders. Much of the information about the STR is highly classified, and the unit is not commented on by either the Sakaian government or the Department of Defense due to the secrecy and sensitivity of its operations, though it has in the past described it as the "premier combat unit of the Sakaian Armed Forces".
