History of Obsidian Defense Solutions
Obsidian Defense Solutions was born from the fallout of silence.
In the dying embers of the Messer Era—a time of black budgets, off-the-record wars, and the weaponization of secrecy—the galaxy underwent a violent political molting. The United Empire of Earth, eager to erase its past sins with policy and propaganda, began dismantling its darkest apparatuses. One such ghost was Project Eclipse—a clandestine initiative responsible for deep-space infiltration, insurgent suppression, and ideological extermination on behalf of the UEE.
Publicly, Eclipse was terminated. Privately, it was dismembered—its assets scattered, buried, or repurposed into more “transparent” programs. But in the void left behind, opportunity thrived.
In 2871, a convergence of former Naval Intelligence officers, black-bag Advocacy agents, rogue logistics architects, and ghost operatives took the pieces and built something new—Obsidian Defense Solutions. On the surface, it appeared to be just another security consultancy. Beneath that veneer, it became a private force with the same capabilities as Eclipse—just free of the red tape and beholden only to contract and coin.
ODS wasn’t made to fight for flags.
It was built to solve problems too sensitive for sovereignty.
Obsidian Defense Solutions: Present Day
No Allegiance. No Apology. Just Outcomes.
By 2950, ODS operates as a fully autonomous, galaxy-spanning paramilitary enterprise. It is no longer a survivalist relic of post-Messer chaos. It is a precision instrument of engineered warfare, executing contracts across two dozen known systems—and likely more that don’t make the ledgers.
ODS rivals and surpasses the logistical and tactical capabilities of many planetary defense forces. Its fleet has tripled in the last decade, combining custom-designed aerospace frames with retrofitted UEE surplus, all modified for multi-environment ops, stealth deployment, and zero-signature aggression.
Mobile Command Platforms now orbit key frontier systems—Nyx, Nexus, Ferron—each one a hardened nerve center housing:
Internally, ODS has evolved beyond reaction. It no longer just executes contracts—it shapes battlefields, manipulates pre-conflict conditions, and defines victory before engagement.
Where other PMCs chase subsidies and struggle for scraps, ODS engineers inevitability. It sculpts outcomes with data, metal, and silence.
Strategic Trajectory
Not Just Surviving the Future. Designing It.
Expansion of Denied Territories
Establish deep-space fortresses and autonomous operations in UEE-abandoned zones and Vanduul-contested systems. Forward operating bases will anchor private security ecosystems and embedded influence.
Full Operational Sovereignty
Achieve total self-reliance across logistics, medical, material, and manufacturing. Through RED, LHC, FP, and SDAC, ODS will remain untethered from external dependencies.
Advanced Research & Tactical Innovation
Continue blacksite R&D into disruptive warfare technologies:
ODS Ethos
“We don’t wait for conflict. We curate it.
Obsidian Defense Solutions is more than a contractor.
It is a war-engine – designed, deployed, and directed with absolute precision.
When crisis emerges, governments hesitate.
When shadows deepen, corporations panic.
But ODS doesn’t hesitate.
It arrives, armed with foresight, capability, and one singular objective:
Uncompromising victory.
No traces. No witnesses. No second chances.
Only black. Only Obsidian.”
Eighty Years of Precision Violence
Obsidian Defense Solutions is not just a private military contractor.
It is a silent empire built on denial, disruption, and the strategic application of force without flags.
In the eight decades since its inception, ODS has evolved from a post-Messer blacksite refuge into a Tier One paramilitary syndicate—executing contracts across the lawless deadspaces, corporate battlegrounds, and unacknowledged wars of the modern era. Where governments fear scandal and corporations fear exposure, ODS operates in pure objective logic: achieve mission success with no exposure, no excuses, and no excess.
Support Divisions – Silent Foundations of Shadow War
“Though the tip of the spear draws the most blood, the hand behind it ensures the strike lands true. ODS recognizes that elite operations mean nothing without the infrastructure to sustain, protect, and adapt them. These are the unsung divisions — the force multipliers behind every decisive action.”
Fleet Personnel (FP)
“You don’t fly the ship. You become the ship.”
Fleet Personnel is the nerve center of ODS’ aerospace dominance. Pilots, navigators, gunners, engineers, and techs—these are the minds behind the metal, the will behind the warships, and the instinct behind every evasive burn and precision strike.
Whether ghosting through asteroid fields under silent running or holding geosynchronous orbit during a hot-drop insertion, FP crews don’t just command vessels—they merge with them. Every thruster pulse, every weapons lock, every system recalibration runs through them like blood in a circulatory system of destruction.
Operational Roles:
Fleet Personnel Motto:
“The ship isn’t home. It’s the weapon that gets you there.”
From orbital overwatch to high-risk exfil, FP ensures ODS never just travels through space—they own it.
Resource Extraction Division (RED)
“The mission doesn’t start with guns. It starts with minerals.”
RED fuels the machine. From asteroid belts to toxic exoplanets, this division spearheads ODS’ autonomous mining operations, securing rare resources without dependence on outside markets. RED doesn’t just dig—they dominate the terrain, extract under fire, and move product off-world under blackout conditions.
Responsibilities:
RED personnel are the first boots on broken ground and the last off the rock.
No press. No parades. Just a constant feed of the raw power behind ODS’ war engine.
Logistics & Hauling Command (LHC)
“We don’t carry cargo. We carry continuity.”
LHC is the invisible lifeline of ODS. From stealth freighters moving prototype weaponry through pirate territory to falsified cargo manifests in corporate dockyards, LHC ensures every asset gets where it needs to be—quietly, quickly, and without failure.
Key Functions:
LHC doesn’t just deliver. They ensure the mission doesn’t die in transit.
Defense Architecture Command (DAC)
“A base isn’t protection. It’s a warning.”
DAC transforms terrain into killzones and structures into strongholds. They don’t just build defenses—they craft entire warzones designed to break enemy forces before the first shot lands. From orbital gun arrays to underground bunkers, DAC makes sure every incursion turns into a blood-soaked miscalculation.
Core Capabilities:
To breach an DAC defense is to walk willingly into the teeth of the beast.
Advanced Research & Development Division (AR&D)
“Tomorrow’s weapons, yesterday.”
Where others follow trends, AR&D forges them. This division turns science fiction into battlefield superiority—no ethics committees, no bureaucratic oversight. Just bleeding-edge innovation at the speed of war.
Primary Focus Areas:
AR&D Motto:
“Innovation without morality. Progress without permission.”
When war changes, AR&D is already ahead of it—engineering tomorrow’s battlefield, today.
Advanced Reconnaissance Command (ARC)
“No traces. No witnesses. No second chances.”
ARC is the scalpel in ODS’ armored fist—precision-executed black ops, surgical infiltration, and intelligence dominance. Whether it’s disappearing a diplomat, ghosting a rogue AI, or destabilizing a regime from the inside, ARC does it clean, fast, and unrecoverable.
Primary Functions:
ARC operators are more than elite—they’re myth. No one sees them coming, and nothing is left when they leave.
