**Coffin Company** is one of the TASKFORCE mercenary companies licensed by the **Administration,** namely TASKFORCE Number 13. Headed by the Administrator, it currently manages the strike squads: Fenrir, ALT, and Eddie Squad.

## History

   After the company's founding, Hilde introduced Joo Shiyoon to the company. She eventually left the company for reasons unknown, and Shiyoon became the company's sole field agent as the other agents left because of his activities. Hilde's departure was considered by Lee Sooyeon to be the reason for Coffin Company's downturn.

As market competition from other mercenary companies grew more intensive, Coffin Company started losing potential contracts and struggled to pay contract termination fees. It often worked contract missions that ended with a high ship-casualty ratio, reducing most of its prior fleet to scrap— this necessitated extra hazard pay for employees and drove away insurance companies as well as most of the company's personnel. Most of its ships had been sold for scrap while its Operations department had been disbanded due to lack of funds. The Managerial Department staff, consisting of Sooyeon and Kim Hana, had no choice but to perform the Operation Department's duties.

The company was on the verge of bankruptcy just prior to the arrival of the Administrator due to unspecified setbacks. By then, it had acquired a somewhat negative reputation and was called a "third-rate company" and "infamous for endless overtime, overdue wages, and a disastrous reputation." Only a single active field agent and a single transport ship remained, and the company could "barely pay the tab for a taxi", put a competent strike team together, or even mine for Eternium .

The Administrator bought all of Coffin Company's stock and became its majority shareholder as well as its new CEO, preventing the company from going into immediate financial ruin. It received enough funds to reinstate the Operations Department and hire Chloe Starseeker and Lena Mackenzie. At the same time, Hilde rejoined the company and Yoo Mina was recruited; those two, along with Shiyoon, were organized into Fenrir Squad and tasked with rescuing Machine G.A.P., the Administrator's remote disguise. Soon after, ALT Squad was recruited thanks to the Company's renewed success.

After the Replacer Incident, the R7 Irregular Scouts were recruited and renamed to "Eddie Squad" in honor of the late Eddie Fisher, who served as the group's leader.
