Northfield [NORTHFIELD] - Organizations - Roberts Space Industries

History

The first peoples of the North lived there since time immemorial. People from across the sea arrived at different times throughout history, most notably in the year 1497. Since then the North has been a mosaic of people from hundreds of nations on Earth and it is this nature that has crafted our unique Northern identity.

In an effort to expand the North’s influence, it’s government helped fund the fledgling Northfield Corporation, now referred to as simply Northfield, to establish a corporate base and conduct business in some of the further reaches of the universe.

Northfield has now become an important private operation, based from the chilly heights of New Babbage (microTech, Stanton) conducting operations in its three main divisions: Security, Medical (Search and Rescue, Combat Medicine) and Industrial (Resources, Logistics).

Originally a crown corporation Northfield has since become a private business, that while maintaining its historical connection to the North, is no longer owned by the government.

As previous inhabitants of the North on Earth we prefer living in the frigid regions of the galaxy, partially because it provides some natural protection from less hardy people, but also because it reminds us of home.

To survive the Northern winter, one needs a body of brass, eyes of glass, and blood made of brandy.
— Louis Armand de Lom d’Arce Lahontan

Northfield Security Division

Northfield Security Division (NSD) offers a variety of services to clients as well as our own internal security, mainly conducting things such as V.I.P Protection, location monitoring, bounty hunting, ground defense, security advising, and PMC units. NSD conducts operations both in space and on the ground.

Northfield Medical Division

Northfield Medical Division (NMD) provides both medical support to NSD operations, but is also contracted by other groups to provide top of the line medical support, combat medics, Search and Rescue, and longer term medical provision as well. Within Northfield Medical there are two Branches.

Northfield’s Mercy Wing are our top of the line emergency medical service responders. Its main goal is to save the lives of all citizens. All those who join the Medical Division start out in the Mercy Wing.

Courage Wing Medics are almost always found embedded in Northfield (or other) Security Forces. They provide medical support for sanctioned operations, most commonly on foot or flying in and supporting Northfield Fleet actions.

Northfield Industrial Division

Northfield Industrial Division (NID) is a generally in-house operation that conducts mining, trade, transportation, salvage and everything in-between. NID is the main financial driver of the organization. Our Industrial Division currently has two Branches with always the possibility to have more should the need require.

The Resources Branch goes out into the extreme reaches of the universe to gather commodities to both purchase and use for other Northfield operations. They work closely with the Logistics Branch to transport their commodities to where they need to go.

In addition to the buying and selling in the commodity trade, the Logistics Branch is vital to all Northfield operations. It ensures that we have the resources and personnel where and when we need them, Logistics is also tasked with ensuring Northfield’s fleet stays supplied and in good condition.
