Hey chummers, here is some crucial data in case you happen to be campaigning in London or any other spawls in the United Kingdom. Sooner or later when your shadowrunning and wreaking havoc, you hack off the wrong people. These people usually know government type people(the British government having one of the largest bureaucracies in the world, its hard not to know any government types...anyway), who if ties are strong enough or your really being a nuisance, the government people will bring in some specialists. What kind of specialists you ask? Well chum, I'm glade you asked, So Pay Attention this information just might keep your ugly hoop alive.

The infamous professionals that get sent are none other than sinister, secretive, British special forces (a.k.a. state terrorists), also known as the SAS (Special Air Service). One of the very first special forces type group, formed in the mid-twentieth century to covertly penetrate enemy lines and eliminate/assassinate a target/person. Other groups started to appear later that century, like the U.S. Navy SEALs and the U.S. Army's Green Berets, were all patterned after the British Special Air Service. The SAS became an elite group of teams pulling members from the Royal Army, the Royal Navy, the Royal Marines, and the Royal Air Force. A majority of the SAS activities became increasingly involved in anti-terrorism.

In order to become the best anti-terrorism group, the SAS receives its funding from the British governmental beaucracy; from the Home Office, from the Lord Protector's Offices (specifically the Oversigth Board), from the Ministry of Defense (specifically the Chiefs of Staff at the War Office), and also from the Prime Minister Direct. Along with various corporations like Ares Macrotechnology, Fuchi Industrial Electronics (Fuchi Industries U.K.), Hildebrandt-Kleinfort-Bernal (HKB), and Integrated Weapon Systems (IWS) PLC are all contracted to provide the SAS with the best state-of the-art techno-wiz gear you wish you could own and use. Most candidates for the SAS go through rigorous training and are surgically enhanced with top notch bioware and cyberware (again-you wish).

Okay, time for role-call, so wake up! The SAS is divided into four operational Squadrons. Each Squadron has fourTroops that specialize in a specific area of training. In the last part of twentieth century a fifth Troop was born because terrorism was running rampant. The Troops usually have thirty-two personnel divided into Patols consisting anywhere from four to eight scary individuals. These guys will sneak in and kick the living crap out of you and leave for tea before you realize your dead. Here is a list of the assorted state terrorists troops.
