Resources Dominance Administration
The RDA is the largest single non-governmental organization in humptie space. Its power is such that it outmatches most Humptie-8 governments in wealth, political influence, and defense capability. Due to its vast capabilities, the RDA is a leading figure in many aspects of humptie society (defense, energy, manufacturing, aeronautics, transportation, commerce, etc) The RDA has monopoly rights to all products shipped, derived, or developed from Ipzamar and any other off-Humptie-8 location. These rights were granted to the RDA in perpetuity by the Interplanetary Commerce Administration (ICA), with the stipulation that they abide by a treaty that prohibits weapons of mass destruction and limits military power in space. Due to its expansive organization, it is unknown whether the RDA has a true centralized leadership or if it is loosely led as a conglomerate.
The RDA first arrived on Ipzamar for varying reasons including the extraction of rare resources for uses back on Humptie-8. The organization soon came into contact with the native species of Ipzamar, the Whirlwinds and had numerous interactions with them. Unfortunately, the RDA soon became engaged in a violent war with the Whirlwinds after failed attempts to make peace with them and find a diplomatic solution to prevent any conflict, and resorted to using forceful methods. The war ended with RDA's defeat by the Whirlwinds and expelled from Ipzamar with all of the humpties returning to Humptie-8.
However, worsening conditions on Humptie-8 led the RDA to return to Ipzamar fourteen years later in 9499 to establish a permanent colony base there and restart the war with the Whirlwinds. The RDA now seeks to claim Ipzamar and make it the new home for the Humpties, and oppose the Resistance.
Equipment
Weapons
When the RDA first came to Ipzamar, weapons were brought to allow for self-defense against the native fauna and other such threats. However, events eventually caused the RDA to take a more offensive approach which ultimately led to the Ipzamaran War.
Upon the company's return to the moon and the second war, the RDA started to develop far more powerful armaments to use against the Whirlwinds.
Vehicles
The RDA designed and manufactured numerous vehicles for traversing the environment on Ipzamar. All kinds of vehicles were created and adapted for the many different terrains of Ipzamar.
Interstellar Vehicles
The Interstellar Vehicles, or ISVs, are the only known way to travel between Humptie-8 and Ipzamar. There are at least twelve ships transporting cargo and crew between Ipzamar and Humptie-8, seven at the same time. However, the later task force of General Frances Ardmore used ten in its invasion to establish Hell's wrath. By then, every vessel was armed to the teeth, making them de facto warships.

- Unnamed ISV (destroyed by the Lizards)
- ISV Vindicator
Treatment of Animals
Apart from treating the Whirlwinds and environment poorly, the RDA has been involved with ethically controversial practices regarding Ipzamar's animals which involve animal cruelty, abuse and neglect:
- When the RDA first landed on Ipzamar during its return, its ships likely roasted thousands of animals to death in the forest fires they caused.
- After its return to Ipzamar, the RDA legalized poaching across the Western Frontier.
- The organization is known to abduct animals from their families and cage them for undisclosed lengths of time in claustrophobic cramped cages.
- In an audio log by Jonathan Mercey, it is mentioned the RDA aims to make Ipzamar safe for new settler, and as such, intends to cull predators. However, it is also mentioned the RDA wants to make leisure hunting an activity.
- The RDA is involved with animal testing and has cruelly experimented on animals; they had a project known as the Feral Project in an attempt to train animals to be vicious killers that could be controlled. For example, corcuses and viperlizards had traumatic surgeries performed on them. Their sensitive neural whips, were forcefully removed. This has resulted in them exhibiting erratic behavior, not only severing their connection to Whirlwind's Child but also with other animals.
