Tekkadan

Tekkadan (鉄華団) is a faction featured in the Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS television series. It is a private security company consisting of the former Third Group of Chryse Guard Security (CGS).

History
Chyse Guard Security's Third Group consisted mainly of "Human Debris" - orphaned children with no formal education. These children were divided into different task types; the physically fit ones became Mobile Worker pilots while the rest were assigned to pile sandbags or install and remove landmines.

In Post Disaster 323, CGS was hired to escort Kudelia Aina Bernstein to Earth, but on the night of Kudelia's arrival, Gjallarhorn staged an assault on CGS' base. After repelling the attack, members of the Third Group were frustrated over the fact that the First Group deserted them during battle. Orga Itsuka, leader of the Third Group, instigated a mutiny by having the First Group drugged during dinner and tied up. During the mutiny, Mikazuki Augus shot and killed First Group leader Haeda Gunnel and officer Sasai Yankus. Orga then gave everyone the option to either stay and pledge loyalty to the new management or leave with a severance pay. The decision on giving out severance pay was done in order to keep the group's reputation intact. The organization was also renamed "Tekkadan".

With analysis from CGS' accountant Dexter Culastor, the organization discovered that CGS' president Maruba Arkay ran off with majority of the base's funds, leaving them with less than three months of financial support. Kudelia offered to continue supporting them financially through Nobliss Gordon, one of her sponsors. Aside from the ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos, a EB-06/tc Graze Custom, and a handful of TK-53 CGS Mobile Workers, Tekkadan acquired CGS' armored assault ship Will-O'-the-Wisp and rechristened it Isaribi.
