Deadline Division / DEADDIV

Deadline Division started in the shadows of Levski—back when Delamar was still off the radar and the UEE kept its distance. The founder, known only as Kato Vale, was a former Advocacy agent who went rogue after a failed op that left his team dead and the targets untouched. He disappeared into Nyx and resurfaced months later with a new mission: build a crew that answered to no one but the contract.

At first, Deadline was just a name whispered around black market terminals and bounty kiosks. A handful of cold professionals, taking high-risk targets and vanishing without a trace. No broadcasts. No tags. No bullshit.

But things changed after the Battle of Vega II (2945)—when Vanduul raids exposed how useless UEE response times could be. Civilian colonies were left hanging, and corps were too busy protecting their assets. That’s when Deadline started offering protection contracts, escort runs, and full-on combat support. Quick, brutal, and efficient.

By 2948, the org had grown from five names to fifty. Half ex-military, half pure street. They operated between Stanton, Nyx, and Pyro—crossing legal lines but keeping a strict internal code. Never betray a client. Never leave a job unfinished. Never turn on your own.

Some say Kato Vale was killed in Pyro during a botched hostage rescue. Others say he’s still pulling strings behind the curtain. Doesn’t matter. The Division kept going.

Today, Deadline Division runs out of hidden outposts and comms-dark satellites. No official HQ. No public face. But if you need someone found, silenced, or protected—you’ll find a way to reach them.

Just know: once the name goes on the board, the clock starts ticking.
