━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
In the vast expanse of known space — where chaos, piracy, and corporate greed often eclipse justice — a new bastion of stability arose: Citadel Defense Services (CDS).
Born from the fires of conflict and the ruins of instability, Citadel Defense Services was founded with a singular purpose — to protect the innocent, uphold order, and stand as a fortress against uncertainty.
The organization’s origins trace back to Centauri, where a cadre of UEE veterans, security contractors, and strategic engineers unified their experience under a shared vision:
to create an autonomous force capable of acting where bureaucracy falters and where the Empire’s reach thins.
What began as a small coalition of professionals soon evolved into a formidable paramilitary entity — disciplined, efficient, and guided by honor.
Under the leadership of its founding Chancellor, Citadel Defense Services adopted UEE naval protocols, blending military precision with private-sector adaptability.
From the defense of Centauri trade routes to escorting corporate convoys through volatile sectors, CDS quickly established a reputation for reliability and precision.
Word spread among traders, settlers, and frontier colonies:
“When Citadel ships arrive, danger retreats.”
GROWTH & LEGACYAcross decades of service, Citadel Defense Services expanded from a planetary defense corps into a multi-system organization operating within both UEE and independent territories.
Through tactical evolution, advanced training, and the integration of salvaged UEE military technology, the Citadel fleet became synonymous with security and discipline.
Each mission — whether repelling pirate incursions, recovering lost assets, or securing trade corridors — reinforced the Citadel’s standing as a trusted guardian of order in a chaotic galaxy.
THE PEOPLE OF THE CITADELThe true strength of CDS lies not in its fleet, but in its people.
From ShadowGuard combat specialists to Vanguard support operatives, every member is trained to the highest standard of UEE discipline and tactical awareness.
Each operative embodies the Citadel’s founding virtues:
Integrity, Discipline, and Excellence.
Their loyalty to one another — and to the Citadel itself — forms the backbone of the organization’s enduring stability.
THE PRESENT ERAToday, Citadel Defense Services stands recognized across the Empire as a UEE-aligned security contractor and private defense authority.
Our operations extend from Stanton to Pyro, and our influence continues to grow through professionalism, technology, and the unwavering resolve of our personnel.
The Citadel remains committed to advancing defense methodology, embracing cutting-edge technology, and forging alliances that reinforce peace through strength.
“In the void between stars, we are the wall that endures.”
THE FUTURE OF THE CITADELAs we look toward the horizons of 2956 and beyond, the mission remains unchanged:
to protect, to serve, and to safeguard those who cannot stand alone.
Our oath is eternal, our purpose unwavering.
“In unity, we find strength. In precision, we find perfection.
We are Citadel Defense Services.”
