}}The '''Royal Cryrian Space Agency (RCSA)''' is a governmental body under the Royal Cryrian Air Force which coordinates all military and commercial space activities for the Kingdom.
The '''Royal Cryrian Space Agency (RCSA)''' is a governmental body under the Royal Cryrian Air Force which coordinates all military and commercial space activities for the Kingdom.


The Agency was founded in 1970 when the Cryrian Defense Forces voluntarily dismantled their ballistic missile program and repurposed the technology for satellite launch purposes. The RCSA makes Cryria one of the smaller countries in the world with an independent space program and indigenous launch capabilities, a limitation which has extensively shaped the RCSA's operations and activities. For instance, while the RCSA is active in Urth's orbit, it has yet to conduct an independent manned mission or to invest heavily in further space exploration.

Ezethla's Arrow is a series of launch vehicles that serves as the primary workhorse of the RCSA. Initially a variant of Cryria's cancelled ballistic missile program, Ezethla's Arrow has since developed considerably and is the RCSA's independent means of placing objects in orbit. All variants of the launchers have developed and assembled in the Kingdom by Tarva Defense Systems, and most of the RCSA's launches have been conducted utilizing Ezethla's Arrow. Ezethla's Arrow has also been made available for commercial and experimental launches facilitated by the RCSA.
