[Liberty Navy]

- - - The First Fleet External Security & Research Division - - -

- Denoted by the following tag;

[LN]-(callsign)|ESRD, where (callsign) is the designated security codename assigned to any ship belonging to this particular unit.

- Description:

In the near two decades since the end of "The First Nomad War", The Liberty Navy has initiated many different projects and programs of a classified nature, some of which were directly related to different facets of Nomad Research, and others geared toward clandestine military operations meant to improve the state of Libertonian National Security regarding a slew of different threats throughout the Sirius sector, without dragging The Republic into a fullscale war.

In recent times however, The Department of Defense has faced budget cuts, with many Libertonian politicans being overconfident and content to believe that The Libertonian Armed Forces is "The best in Sirius" and therefore that it no longer needs the increasingly large budget it has enjoyed in years past.

The First Fleet's answer to this, in order to maintain operational efficiency in the face of budget and support cuts, was the formation of the External Security and Research Division, a unit which was formed by combining most of the units in the First Fleet's Special Operations Command, with those belonging to the First Fleet's scientific research departments.

Such a combination allows for the merging of budget allotments, the hope being to reduce the effects of budget cuts on what the Navy sees as some of it's most important programs.

Additionally, combining the Special Forces and Science Divisions has proven to be an advantage when it comes to sharing critical or new information with units operating in the field, whose missions were previously affected in an adverse manner due to a lack of appropriate information.

Units known to have merged with ESRD:

- Naval R&D (First Fleet assets)
- MARSOC
- Nadir Wing
- UMBRA Initiative
- Seawolf Special Recon
- Diamondback Initiative.
