Neridia Defense Industries (NDI) is a Natopian multinational conglomerate based in the city of Triegon, Natopia. As one of the largest defense manufacturers in the Raspur Pact, NDI is recognized for its wide range of defense products and systems, including aerospace defense products, tanks, armored personnel carriers, guns, and other land & armament systems. Its extensive portfolio and manufacturing licensing agreement networks has made it an integral part of the Allied Production Matrix of the Raspur Pact.
NDI excels in researching, developing, and manufacturing advanced technology products in the aerospace and defense industry. The company’s offerings have traditionally encompassed aircraft engines, avionics, aerostructures, cybersecurity, and increasingly space-based defense systems. As a significant military contractor, a substantial portion of its revenue comes from contracts with Natopia, Nouvelle Alexandrie, the Benacian Union, and Constancia.
Founded in 1659 AN by the House of Eadric and a coalition of Alexandrian and Natopian investors, NDI is the result of several mergers and acquisitions of smaller defense contractors and suppliers, a strategy aimed at vertical integration of the supply chain and manufacturing. Alphonse Saint-Germain has served as the company's CEO since its inception in 1659 AN.
The company's expansive structure includes several subsidiaries: Armaments of Natopia, Redquill Industries, Eadricton Intelligence & Space, BioNAT, and Triegon Ballistics, each specializing in different areas of defense technology and solutions.
