At its founding, the purpose of The Company was to provide armed security services to people, governments, and organizations that were at risk from larger entities. Operations were designed to conform with the traditional Antoran code of chivalry. The Company found initial successes in serving as security for workers unions, protestors, travelling medical personnel, and journalists in eastern [[Novaris]]. This work helped improve the image of the firm and the number of personnel tripled between 1990 and 1996. In 1997, The Company incorporated in Packilvania due to favorable real estate agreements and corporate regulations.

==== Großmetall Tactical Complex ====
A sister facility to Tonderouca, the Großmetall Tactical Complex is a 500-acre tract of land in [[Stahlheim]] that caters to similar courses. With an increased focus on helicopter operations like surveillance and firefighting, as well as urban combat tactics and HAZMAT procedure, Großmetall caters to counterterrorism and CRBN units from western Novaris and northern Gondwana as well as emergency special services. The Volscine complex also boasts the largest barracks for Company contractors when not on assignment. This adjacent complex, known colloquially as Steel Campus, rotates around four thousand personnel annually, and includes amenities such as pools, gymnasiums, a shopping center, cinema, and net cafes. This facility notably does not possess a Dispatch Center despite its size due to the Tonderouca complex already having one in place for Novaris.
==== Tamerlaine Quill Annex ====
The Company maintains a large presence on Khalden island in the International Trade Zone as a voting member of the ITZ Oversight Commitee and the main gauruntor of security. The Tamerlaine Quill Annex is located on the southern tip of Khalden, spread across a barrier island. The facilities include workshops, warehouses, and research centers of Quill Engineering and Quill Tactical Systems, logistics and maintanence facilities for the Companys' air and sea assets, a shipping dock, airstrip, and administrative centers, as well as housing for employees. The Annex totals 820 acres and employs an average of 13,000 people on a permenant basis. The Company uses the location as a Dispatch Center and centralized supply hub, so it is estimated that upwards of 50,000 people will rotate through it annually.

Line 128:
The Company has allowed for contractors to volunteer for duty in Crystal Coast, a province of [[Tavaris]] currently undergoing secessionist talks and religious tension. The nearly-800 strong volunteer company has been suborned to the [[Akronism|Akronist Church's]] new security forces and, along with a detachment of armored cars and surviellance helicopters, be used to quell violent riots and vandalism by non-Akronists in the Tavari territory. The contractors are considered on leave by the Company and their benefits and salaries have been agreed to become the responsibility of the Church.
==== International Trade Zone ====
The Company became a founding partner of the International Trade Zone in Tamerlaine upon the Zone's creation in 2022. As the largest private security enterprise part of the initiative, the Company has assumed the role of guaruntor of security for Tamerlaine and the ITZ. All operations and most employees of subsidiaries Quill Engineering, Quill Tactical Systems, and Quill Shipping Consultants were moved to Tamerlaine along with significant portions of Quill's privateer and merchant fleets. The central location of Tamerlaine in regards to the rest of the world has also allowed the Company to benefit from using the area as a Dispatch Center for client work. Currently, the corporate roadmap includes a modernization program for armed security units, expansion of the air and sea fleets, and establishment of permenant roots in the ITZ.
