The Strategic Agency of Ballistics and Regional Enforcement, or SABRE, was founded as The Various Empires of Dhatsun's primrary intelligence agency by 8th Level-Commanding General Burton in the late fifties. Originally designed to prevent the country from missile attacks during the cold war via the advancement of technology and essentially spy work on the enemy. The agency expanded its focus away from communist nations and towards all threats to the nation of Dhatsun, most notably, terrorism. Indeed it was SABRE that foiled the recent terrorist attack and captured the "Cobra" terrorist cell, which was handed over to Calumnius to undergo trial.

Criticism

Some nations have declared some of SABRE's methods as "a breach of human rights with regards to privacy" and "excessive when dealing with terrorists". A spokesperson for Uetsi said in SABRE's defense, "In these times of uncertainty [SABRE] must be allowed to thoroughly investigate those who are deemed a threat to national security".

There have also been rumours SABRE has been used in spying missions by SATO for the purposes of intelligence gathering on The Good Guys. These rumours, are, however, seemingly unfounded.
