Reaper Defense Group is a private military and security organization built by veterans who operate where conventional forces cannot. From convoy protection to high-risk combat operations, RDG delivers disciplined, reliable force without compromise. MISSION FIRST. ALWAYS.
Reaper Defense Group was founded by a small group of former UEE military personnel, security contractors, and independent pilots who shared a common belief: there would always be places where official forces could not respond quickly enough.
What began as a modest security outfit quickly developed into a professional defence organization specializing in convoy protection, reconnaissance, corporate security, and high-risk recovery operations. RDG initially focused on contracts considered too dangerous for conventional security companies, yet too insignificant or politically inconvenient for the UEE to handle directly.
During its early years, the company operated with a limited fleet and a small number of highly experienced personnel. Its reputation was built through difficult assignments on the fringes of civilized space, where crews were often forced to operate with limited support and little margin for error. Rather than relying on superior numbers or resources, RDG developed a doctrine centered around preparation, discipline, and completing the objective under adverse conditions.
The turning point in the company’s history came during a major convoy protection operation. The convoy was attacked by a significantly larger pirate force, leaving several civilian vessels critically exposed. Despite suffering heavy losses, RDG forces remained engaged long enough for the majority of the convoy to escape. The operation nearly crippled the young company, but it established a reputation that would define RDG for decades: once Reaper Defense Group accepts a contract, abandoning the mission is not considered an option.
Following the incident, RDG expanded its operations and began accepting increasingly complex contracts. Its fleet grew, new operational divisions were established, and experienced veterans from across the UEE joined its ranks.
Today, Reaper Defense Group operates as an independent private defence organization. Its contracts range from corporate security and armed escorts to reconnaissance, search and rescue, tactical operations, and hostile-area recovery.
RDG maintains that it is not an extension of the UEE military, nor does it seek to replace it. The company exists to provide protection where its clients require it, operating within its own strict rules of engagement and professional code.
Its reputation, however, has come at a price. To some, RDG represents professionalism and reliability in an increasingly dangerous galaxy. To others, it is simply another private military organization willing to operate where the law becomes difficult to enforce.
Within the company, there is only one principle that matters:
MISSION FIRST. ALWAYS.
We are Reaper Defense Group.

We were founded on the principle that when lives, assets, and missions are placed in our care, responsibility cannot be delegated, delayed, or abandoned.
