Recon Unit Alpha is an elite Eteno unit consisting of only the best of the best of marines. They were formed in 918 ATGW as a response to stronger rivals trying to muscle their way into Eteno business. Needless to say, these empires were paved over within weeks. This was made possible by the invaluable sabotage and spying missions completed by RUA. Training for this organization almost always takes place during colder seasons, as the water is much colder.
