The Company of the Quill: Difference between revisions

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, publicly due to the ability to free up funds under the relaxed business regulations in the country. There has been speculation that the regulations in Packilvania allow The Company to operate in a form closer to a mercenary army. The lack of corporate records available to the public, beyond what the firm itself publishes, has left the matter with no definitive answer. While having corporate headquarters in the city of Akas Akil, The Company has branch offices in Casilló y Réal, [[Arkalarius]], [[Bana]], [[Ellesborg]], [[Gusanaszna]], and [[Tivot]].

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 Arkian 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.

The Crown Mandate of [[Ellesborg]] has recently begun a large-scale integration process of Company services into their security doctrine due to their proximity to the Third Suvani War and the limited domestic defense options available. The Mandate's distance from [[Cryria]] means immediate reinforcement in the case of crisis is unfeasible. The Company has entered talks to establish permeant facilities in Ellesborg including a regional Dispatch Center, a training complex, contractor housing, and vehicle garages. Ellesborg is reportedly interested in retaining the Company indefinitely for cybersecurity, defense consultation, armed security services at civil and financial infrastructure, and aerial operations including transport, surveillance, and security. Several financial institutions independent of the government have also expressed interest in hiring the Company to provide cyber and armed security and legal tender transport services. The Company's presence in Ellesborg is projected to reach upwards of 15,000 personnel, with a defense emergency necessitating the deployment of an additional 20,000 contractors.

[[Gusanaszna]] has entered negotiations with the Company to provide blanket armed security for their territory, citing threats from [[Rusanru'a]] and [[Nystatiszna]]. This contract potentially has the Company hiring more than 50,000 new employees to serve as national security and defense for the Borean nation. The possibility of 'blank check' funding has been discussed but not confirmed, as anonymous sources on both sides have stressed the scope of the operations require significant workshopping. Border patrol, immigration control, aerial security, air defense and artillery batteries, and regular infantry-level mercenary operations have been theorized to be possible services Gusanaszna is looking to procure. The Company has taken the first step in this operation by purchasing surplus combat aircraft from the [[Royal Corric Air Cavalry]].
