History
Royal Atlas Response Division (RARD)
Founded: April 17, 2894
Headquarters: Atlas Prime Station, Vega Sector
Founded in the aftermath of the Vega Colony Crisis in 2894, the Royal Atlas Response Division was established to provide elite, integrated medical and security services across the frontier sectors. Born from the merger of two specialized units—Atlas Security Command and Royal Medical Corps—RARD was designed to respond where traditional planetary forces and civilian agencies could not: deep-space emergencies, conflict zones, and disaster-stricken colonies.
RARD’s founding charter declared a dual mandate: to preserve life and maintain order. Over the centuries, the division has earned a reputation as one of the most disciplined and ethically driven private response forces in known space. Its operatives are trained as both combat specialists and field medics—capable of extracting wounded personnel under fire, stabilizing crisis zones, and restoring peace through decisive action.
Operating under the motto “Protect, Heal, Uphold,” the Royal Atlas Response Division continues to serve corporate, colonial, and civilian clients alike. From high-risk evacuation missions on war-torn moons to planetary outbreak containment, RARD’s gold-and-purple insignia has become a universal symbol of integrity and safety.
The organization maintains a three-tier structure: • Guardian Corps: Defensive and tactical operations. • Medicorps: Advanced trauma and biohazard response. • LogiCom: Strategic coordination, logistics, and humanitarian support.
In recent decades, RARD has expanded its reach through Atlas Prime Station, serving as both command hub and training center for its next generation of operatives. Guided by its founding creed, Royal Atlas stands at the intersection of valor and compassion—ensuring that in every conflict, every catastrophe, and every corner of the stars, there remains a force dedicated to protecting life with royal precision.
Manifesto
“The Weight We Carry”
“We buried more souls on Vega than any world should ever bear.
Not soldiers. Not heroes. People. Families. Children who never saw another sunrise.”
“We waited for orders that never came.
We watched the Empire debate as the colonies burned.
And when the sky turned red, we chose — not obedience, but action.”
“That choice cost us everything: our rank, our comfort, our illusions.
But it gave us something greater — purpose.”
“We formed the Royal Atlas Response Division not out of ambition,
but out of necessity.
To stand where others fall back.
To answer when humanity calls for help.
To protect our own — no matter the cost.”
“We are not conquerors. We are not politicians.
We are the shield between mankind and extinction.”
“And to those who still believe that humanity is worth fighting for —
to those who refuse to stand by while others die —
there is a place for you among us.”
“We will teach you to fight with discipline.
To carry the weight of a world on your shoulders,
and to never, ever let it fall again.”
“The Empire may forget Vega.
History may fade.
But we won’t.
We can’t.
Because the dead are counting on the living to do better.”
“So join us.
Stand with us.
Carry the weight.”
Human lives above all else.
We are Royal Atlas.
Charter
Charter of the Royal Atlas Response Division
I. Purpose
To preserve, protect, and ensure the survival of the human species throughout the known systems, through rapid response, disciplined action, and unyielding moral clarity.
II. Pillars of Conduct
Loyal Without End
Our loyalty lies with humanity, not politics.
We obey the chain of command until that chain endangers human life — then we act.
Betrayal of the species is the only unforgivable sin.
Human Lives Above All Else
Every operation is measured by the lives saved, not the ground gained.
Compassion is not weakness; it is purpose.
A human life spared is a victory greater than any medal.
Resolve in the Face of the Unknown
Fear of the alien, the void, or the impossible must never outweigh our duty.
We meet every threat — foreign or domestic — with clarity, not panic.
Purity of Purpose
We do not exploit alien technology without full understanding.
We protect humanity’s identity — our culture, our will, our independence.
Discipline and Mercy
Our actions reflect our creed. We fight with restraint, not cruelty.
Mercy toward humans strengthens the cause; mercy toward the enemy weakens it.
Remembrance of Vega
Every recruit learns the names of the fallen from the Vega colonies.
Their loss is the warning we live by: inaction is death.
Unity of the Division
A member of Royal Atlas never stands alone.
Leave no comrade behind, in battle or in burden.
III. Mandate of Action
Royal Atlas acts when others hesitate — to respond to disaster, invasion, or crisis where human life is endangered.
Imperial permission is secondary to necessity. The Division’s right to intervene is self-granted by blood, history, and duty.
IV. Oath of Service
“I am the shield of mankind,
The weight-bearer of Atlas.
I will stand when others fall,
Act when others falter,
And protect human life above all else.
Loyal without end —
We are Royal Atlas.”
