The main logo for RKS.
Rosenkreuzstilette: the Blades of the Rose Cross (ローゼンクロイツスティレッテ, Rōzenkuroitsusutirette) (薔薇十字の小剣, Bara jūji no Shōken, later changed to 薔薇十字小剣団, Bara jūji Shōken-dan, in Rosenkreuzstilette ~Freudenstachel~), also known simply as RKS (エルカーエス Erukāesu) for short, is the organization in the Rosenkreuzstilette series composing of Magi. RKS is named after Rosenkreuz, with the reason being that he devoted his life to protecting the Magi and helping them, and, at the end of a long and grueling war, offered up his life to end the persecution of the Magi by the Holy Empire and Orthodox Church a few decades prior to the game's storyline. After the war ended, the Holy Empire and Orthodox Church accepted Magi into their military force, thus RKS was created.
Rosenkreuzstilette was formerly led by Count Michael Zeppelin before his death is actively led and commanded by Sichte Meister, who, as of ~Freudenstachel~, currently aims to inherit Zeppelin's will. It has two known divisions; the RKS Intelligence division, which Kahl Palesch is an agent of, and the RKS Special Forces unit, led by Doris Warmind. As of ~Freudenstachel~, Kahl has become Zeppelin's successor, and also aims to inherit his will.

Trivia[]
- An interesting note that RKS can also be called erka:es, which is also the same name of this doujin soft series' developers. This is because RKS's Japanese name is romanized as "Erukāesu", which sounds exactly like erka:es.
- The RKS Numbers are a reference to the Serial Numbers that most of the robots and Robot Masters of the original Mega Man series use.
- Doris Warmind is designated as [RKS013], rather than [RKS010], causing a jump in the numbering. In response to one fan's messages on the [erka:es] journal, WOMI joked that the designs of the three missing members of RKS might be finished before Rosenkreuzstilette ~Geisterwand~.
