Talk:Resident Evil (2002 VG)
S.T.A.R.S.
Special Tactics And Rescue Service. The name was apparently derived from a special police team in Singapore called S.T.A.R. The word "Service" is game canon, not "Squad" - if you want proof, boot up RE2 and look at the huge mural in the STARS office, or the PSX/PC (1996) version of RE1 and look at the newspaper headline in the opening FMV. The wording "Special Tactics And Rescue Squad" was incorrectly used by author S.D. Perry in her (sanctioned by Capcom, but considered non-canon) novels.
- On the back of the original RE1 (PSX) box, it's Squad. Ingame, it's Service. Simple lack of proper communication between the various groups involved in making the game.
