District 18 (R Corp.)
R Corp. is one of the 26 Wings of the City and is in control of District 18.
Overview
R Corp. is one of the most well known private military corporations in the City, having been an established power since at least a decade before the events of Limbus Company, and carrying a reputation for its efficient soldiers.[1] R Corp.'s District, District 18, is noted to have a unique architecture that bears no resemblance to that of its neighboring Districts, instead resembling that of WARP Corp.[2]
R Corp. collaborates with various Wings, and was tasked with the protection of L Corp., T Corp., and W Corp.'s Nests and Singularities.[3]
R Corp. was a long-standing business partner of Lobotomy Corporation, with a history that traces back to L Corp.'s creation; in fact, R Corp. was an active participant of the Smoke War, siding with the company against the Old L Corp. After the war, the mutual relationship continued, with L Corp. providing energy for R Corp. to make full use of its Singularity, and R Corp. providing L Corp. military protection to the Corporation's branches. In cases of necessity, R Corp.'s Rabbit Team would be dispatched to L Corp. branches, with the Team Captain Myo handling the missions in the L Corp. headquarters personally.[4]
R Corp.'s partnership with T Corp. involves the utilization of the TT2 Protocol, which is provided by T Corp. for the training of R Corp.'s soldiers.
R Corp.'s ranks are comprised of various units with different specializations, each named and themed after an animal. The main groups are the Rabbits, Reindeer, and Rhinos. Another group, known as the Ravens, is mentioned to exist, and appears to be a disposal unit that removes threats internal to the Corporation.[5]
The ranks appear to be made up of various "Packs", roughly analogous to real-life military regiments, with the main unit encountered in Lobotomy Corporation, Library of Ruina, and the Sinner Identities in Limbus Company being the Fourth Pack. This unit was considered a failure for many years until it was able to prove its worth during the Smoke War.
As of the events of Limbus Company, R Corp. appears to face struggles after the fall of L Corp., having lost one of their greatest business partners and primary energy supplier.[6]
Singularity
R Corp. possesses a Singularity that can create clones of humans, which they use to use replace their soldiers after their deaths. Thanks to this, R Corp. can take on jobs that expect extremely high causality rates and replace any soldiers who died with ease.
The clones are produced in the thousands by what is defined the Hatchery, or cloning machine,[7] forced to fight against each other until only the strongest remains, ensuring that the survivor is trained and ready for combat. As the Head does not allow the existence of two of the same person in the City for longer than seven days, R Corp. utilizes T Corp.'s TT2 Protocol to accelerate the time within the Hatchery: this way, ten thousand clones can fight in the Hatchery for a year, while in the outside world less than seven days have passed.[8] In case of necessity, the process might be sped up further at a higher energy cost, although a certain population is necessary to train a soldier enough to be dispatched.
Cloned soldiers are also "revived" inside the Hatchery once they die on the battlefield, complete with all memories up to their moment of death.[9] It is unclear how this form of revival is achieved while bypassing the Head's taboo on resurrection.

Fighting Style
R Corp. 4th Pack
The 4th Pack of R Corp. specializes in extermination missions, capable of efficiently destroying anything and anyone within the designated zone.[10] It consists of 3 distinct teams: the Reindeer, the Rhinos, and the Rabbits.
- The Reindeer wield staves connected to packs on their back, which is capable of transforming focusing brainwaves projected from the antlers growing on their head into beams of energy, capable of quickly degrading the sanity of all within its range,[11] effectively neutralizing most potential opposition.
Members of this team generally suffer from severe migraines as a side effect of their method of attack. They are also prone to nervous breakdowns in prolonged battles, leading to indiscriminate attack.[12] - The Rhino wear massive exoskeletal suits, which operates by detecting their bioelectricity,[13] massively enhancing their raw strength. Most Rhinos use massive hammers, though this is not uniform. In most missions, Rhinos are sent in after the Reindeer to destroy any obstacles and facilities present.
Members of this team generally suffer from chronic fatigue as a side effect of their suits operation.[14] They are prone to excessive agitation leading them to destroy anything within their vicinity.[12] - The Rabbits are closest to standard soldiers of the three teams, utilising specially-built guns and daggers to eliminate any remaining resistance within the area. However, their bloodlust causes them to target anything not from R Corp. within the area indiscriminately.
R Corp. 2nd Pack
The 2nd Pack of R Corp. is mentioned to feature a Reindeer Team too, though their fighting style appears to be different from the 4th Pack's Reindeer.[15]
Aside from the Reindeers, R Corp.'s 2nd Pack appears to feature units with sheep and mouse-like appearances; going by naming conventions, these can be assumed to be Rams and Rats. Little is known about how they fight, though may occupy similar, albeit more stable niches as their 4th Pack counterparts.
It is one of the many factions prepared for war near the end of Canto VIII: The Surrendered Witnessing, ready to usurp the Family Hierarch's position.
