RSTS is a general-purpose, multiuser timesharing system for the PDP-11 computer. It is a direct descendant of TSS/8, a timesharing system for the PDP-8.
RSTS is a general-purpose timesharing system for the PDP-11 computer. The first version was released in 1970. Called RSTS-11, it was installable only from a DOS-11. Toward the late 1970s, RSTS was no longer dependent on DOS-11, and by the mid-1980s RSTS was a fully-matured, richly-featured timesharing system with over 10,000 licensed users and an unknown number of  unlicensed ones. RSTS (and the rest of the PDP-11 software line) was sold to Mentec in 1994, and soon thereafter released for free under a hobbyist license.

RSTS-tan is depicted as a short, stocky woman with cropped blonde hair and brown eyes. In spite of her small stature and seemingly out-of-shape physique, she is very strong and an able fighter, preferring a battle-axe to the traditional DEC sword.  
Depicted as the tallest and most statuesque of the PDP-11-tans, RSTS-tan has shoulder-length silvery-blonde hair, reddish eyes and typically wears a plain burgundy DEC military blouse, dark grey pants and boots. She is generally energetic, with a great love of competition and showing off her physical strength and magical skills. Like the majority of DEC-tans, she prefers physical weapons and brute-strength to sorcery-based attacks.  


RSTS-tan is competitive but generally good-natured. She is known to have a keen sense of humor and love of practical jokes, something that occasionally puts her at odds with her more demure stepsisters [[RSX]] and [[RT-11]]-tan.
In spite of RSTS-tan's competitive and sometimes borderline-boastful nature, she is good-natured and sociable, perhaps moreso than any of her fellow PDP-11 OS-tans. She is also the only one to make any substantial inroads into academia, though she was still somewhat unpopular compared to the Unix-tans.
 
Although she is generally competent, RSTS-tan is not without her faults. She was unusually slow to mature compared to many of her companions, relying on [[DOS-11]]-tan's assistance well into the 1970s. As well, she also suffered from significant security-faults and could lack physical agility at times.

RSTS-tan's only known relative is her mother, TSS/8-tan - a small timesharing-system-tan who worked alongside [[PDP-8]]-tan. [[DOS-11]]-tan helped raise and assist RSTS throughout the 1970s, and it is suspected that RSTS' size and social power within the DEC clan helped keep check on DOS-11-tan's ill temper.


Her closest friends are RSX and[[RT-11]], although she does sometimes have to tone down her high-energy attitude while in their presence. Despite a large age gap, and and [[VMS]]-tan get along well and associate to this day.
