RDI does not condone the needless griefing and piracy of players for the sake of amusement or sport. Although the organization skirts the line between 'good' and 'bad', we will maintain lawful behavior when operating in UEE controlled space or when representing the UEE as a whole. That being said, RDI's mission is to control and hold down regions of space under any means necessary. That may include taking locations or resources by force after exhausting all diplomatic means. We defend what is ours. Will I be restricted to a certain role within the organization? No. Although we would like to maintain teams of individuals who are operating in the field best fitting their skills, operators are free to change between roles whenever they see fit. The squads and teams are meant to be close-knit groups of individuals who are able operate independently of the organization whenever not participating in joint operations. The training and operations for these groups are overseen by the squad and team leaders, who then report to the division officers. Each team/squad is able to select their own play-times (excluding joint ops), with full discretion given to the unit leadership. However, real life will always come first. You will not receive any negative consequences for being unable to attend play times. I am focused on mining and trade, what benefits are there for joining RDI? As mentioned earlier, the mission of the organization is to control and hold down regions of space in order to profit from the resources there. Being a member of our Auxiliary component, you will receive free protection and escort from the organization's best operators. This service will be provided completely free of charge, with only 10% of the total profit going towards the organization. By joining us, you will be free to mine and pursue economic ventures in the most dangerous (and profitable) regions of space free of harm from pirates or other organizations. Logistics and trade are the life-blood of the organization, and we take pride in ensuring the best possible security and safety for all those involved. Will I be forced to call anyone "Sir"? No. The militaristic structure of RDI is meant to ensure maximum operational effectiveness against all types of enemies. Although operators will be required to listen and follow the orders of their leadership during operations, at no point will any member be required to address tactical leadership as their rank. These ranks are meant only to guarantee accountability and combat effectiveness during operations and to organize training and contracts. All of our leadership has either served or been contracted with the United States military, and thus we cannot think of a more asinine notion as to call a civilian "Sir". Why should I join RDI as opposed to one of the massive PMCs? As an organization, our entire leadership trains and is online every day of the week in order to continue to advance the skill level of everyone involved. We hold daily training sessions including FPS infantry training, Small Unit Tactics training, Dogfighting (1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4), Outpost Point Defense, Ambush training, Assault training, Boarding procedure training, Hot-drop training, and weekly combined arms operations. Unlike many other organizations who are viewing the time leading up to 3.0 as a "waiting" period, we view this time as perfect for establishing tactical dominance early. In addition to participating in our unique training, in RDI you will also have numerous opportunities for advancement and leadership positions with your own independence and sovereignty. Unlike being in other PMCs where you are just another 'private' in a sea of privates, in RDI we treat every member as vital to our organization as a whole. What are the requirements for joining? Currently, there are no requirements for joining other than the desire to learn and improve while maintaining a certain level of maturity and civility. That being said, we ask all members be over the age of 18. Those under the age of 18 will be subject to a brief voice chat interview where the leadership can accurately gauge the maturity levels of the applicant. As we continue to grow and fill out our ranks, members will be asked to pass certain skill evaluations after receiving adequate training for the combat role of their choice. Those who pass and excel at all available training will be asked to join our special operations task force, Praetorian 1.
