DeadRock Collective unites pilots, marines, naval crews, and support specialists under one creed: act where others won’t, and leave no member behind.
The DeadRock Collective did not form in a single moment or from one forgotten incident. Its roots stretch across years of overlooked crises in the outer systems. Frontier convoys went unprotected, settlements were left without response, and entire Marine and Navy units were quietly cut or reassigned after political disputes. Veterans who served through these failures watched the same pattern repeat itself: the people sent into the hardest situations were the first to be abandoned.
Stories of the “dead rock” began circulating around this time, a drifting asteroid that supposedly held the remains of a lost black-ops unit. Whether the tale was true or not, it spread quickly among those who understood what it meant. It became a symbol of every unanswered distress call and every mission written off as an acceptable loss.
Out of this environment grew an informal network of pilots, marines, engineers, and medics who still believed in protecting the frontier even when the bureaucracy would not. They shared information, answered unofficial calls for help, and stepped into the gaps left by the disappearance of multiple UEE rapid-response programs. What started as favors among veterans gradually turned into coordinated action.
As more people joined, the need for structure became clear. Small groups unified, assets were pooled, and leadership emerged naturally. From this, the Collective took shape. Fleet Command provided direction, Aerospace and Marine elements organized into functioning combat arms, Naval crews secured ships capable of extended operations, and Support teams built the medical, engineering, and logistics backbone that keeps the entire force alive.
Today, the DeadRock Collective stands as a disciplined, independent military organization forged from years of neglect along the frontier. They are not rebels and not pirates, but professionals who refuse to let others face the void alone. Their creed reflects the lessons that shaped them:
The DeadRock Collective was built by veterans who learned the cost of waiting for help that never arrives. We were shaped by years of unanswered distress calls, abandoned units, and a growing gap between those who serve and the system meant to support them. What brought us together was not rebellion, bitterness, or ideology, but a simple truth: people on the frontier deserve someone who will show up.
We operate with structure, discipline, and purpose. Fleet Command sets direction. Aerospace and Marine forces carry out the fight. Naval crews move the fleet where it is needed, and Support teams keep every mission alive. Each member has a role, and each role matters.
We do not seek glory, credit, or recognition from the UEE. The frontier knows who we are. When settlements go dark. When convoys are written off as acceptable losses. When pirates carve out entire routes while the paperwork stalls. That is where the Collective steps in.
Our guiding principles are straightforward: *Protect those who cannot protect themselves.DeadRock is not defined by who we fight, but by who we refuse to abandon. The Collective exists because the verse is full of places where help arrives too late, or never arrives at all. We fill the gap that others ignore.
Our creed remains the foundation of everything we do:
The DeadRock Collective exists to provide security, rescue, defense, and strategic response where official channels fail to act. We operate as a structured, disciplined private military force committed to protecting frontier communities and supporting one another through unified command.
The Collective is organized into five primary commands:
Fleet Command – Oversees strategic planning, organization, and operational authority.
Aerospace Command – Handles fighters, gunships, dropships, and all aerospace operations.
Marine Command – Provides ground forces, boarding teams, and close-quarters specialists.
Naval Command – Manages capital ships, escorts, carriers, and fleet movement.
Support Command – Maintains medical, logistics, engineering, intelligence, and recovery capabilities.
All members fall under a command and follow the established chain of leadership.
Members are expected to uphold professionalism, discipline, and respect at all times. Personal disputes must not interfere with operations. Unauthorized aggression, griefing, or piracy is prohibited. Members are responsible for their actions in and out of the verse while representing the Collective.
No Collective asset deploys without proper authorization. Classified information remains internal. Multi-command cooperation is mandatory during joint operations. Safety, readiness, and proper maintenance of ships and equipment are required for all personnel.
The core of DeadRock is the Rock Oath: no one is left behind. Members support one another and act with integrity. Violations of conduct, abandonment of duty, or actions harmful to the Collective may result in removal.
Fleet Command may update or expand this Charter as the organization grows. Changes are communicated through official channels.
