We are an Elite Dangerous player group formed by Lawful Veterans and starters alike, dedicated to making human-occupied space a fun and adventurous environment.
The IDA aims to be a community where commanders can have fun and enjoy playing the game together, as well as being a place where new commanders can learn and ultimately: Protect the vulnerable.
To join:
In order to join our squadron, we will conduct an assessment, in which we'll get to know you and see how we can help each other, but also the aim of the assessment is to protect our precious group from abusive behaviour from other cmdrs, and only let in the best kind of people in our community.
We are a Discord based group, and it's a requisite to have a mic to communicate.

So, yeah, what do we do? I hear you saying... Have a look...
- Patrols -
As a Lawful group, we fight against Gankers, Griefers and any other kind of Galaxy bullies. We organise patrols whenever we can to protect New pilots around systems targeted by Gankers and Griefers. If you are a New Pilot interested in this, we strongly recommend our Fight Club. There you will improve your combat skills either in wings for 1v1 combat, in these clubs, you can ask, discuss, upload your videos, and meet with your mentors in the field to polish your skills.

- AntiXeno -
We have a very capable group of AntiXeno Mentors and Experts. In our AntiXeno channel, you will find very useful information and guides. If you are interested our Mentors can help you to go through the process of engaging Thargoids, from Scouts to Interceptors. Our great Xeno Mentors will often organise Xeno Raids and Boot Camps for New Pilots.

- The Independent Defence Agency Faction -
We support our in-game faction, this is totally optional, but we find it adds enjoyment to your game by providing purpose and camaraderie as we seek to increase our influence throughout the galaxy.
We aim to protect our home systems, control and expand our borders whilst maintaining healthy economies within our controlled systems. We are a peaceful independent squadron preferring to create alliances with our neighbours but are not frightened to resort to force if required.
We do not have a PowerPlay allegiance but members may choose to participate in PowerPlay activities as they see fit, provided it does not harm our PMF.
Here is our little bubble on influence, thanks to Cmdrs Solomon, Nibbla and Myrwil for their hard work:
- Tournaments and Events-
We run internal PvP Tournaments and Events to improve our combat skills, with and without engineered ships, like Viper Tag or The Eagle Nest. We also do events just for fun, do you have a crazy idea? come and tell us! It's good to get together and have a good laugh. Let's all jump from a cliff together in our SRV's on to a T10's back!

Before applying to join the Inara Squadron or In-Game Squadron we need to meet you in our Discord: Join
Our core players are from the EU and the UK, but we are increasing our numbers around the world, especially in the USA and Canada.
We are PC players, and unfortunately, we've closed down the applications from PS4 and XBOX until the game allows us to play across platforms.
Looking forward to hearing from you Commanders!
