Modus Operandi
The Research, Development, and Innovation Division, or RDI, acts strictly in a support role to the Main Fleet. RDI primarily liaises and works alongside assigned civilian scientists, generally at designated research installations or even at established Naval Stations. The Division is primarily assigned or deployed to research hazardous environments, investigate anomalies within Liberty, and keep the Fleet updated with cutting-edge technologies. Division deployments are generally supported by various assets from the Main Fleet, serving primarily as escorts.
Operational Capabilities
At present, and since the Division was stood up in 827 A.S, assigned personnel and assets are fairly minimal. In efforts to reduce budgetary impacts to the rest of the Fleet, the RDI division currently only operates a single "Corvo" Deep Space Explorer. Civilian personnel, either scientists or engineers, are usually assigned when conducting any operation that includes the deployment of the Division. The primary deployed craft for Division deployments is the "Corvo" Deep Space Explorer, which makes use of the following equipment:
