The Company was founded in September 1989 by Gabriel Demuiré, a recently-retired Major in the Armed Legions tank corps. Demuiré felt dissatisfied with the policies on foreign intervention set in place after the coronation of King [[Sebastián II]], which prohibited Corric military forces from being deployed overseas unless in full war. 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 Andoran 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, 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, [[ArkalariusVolscina]], [[Bana]], [[Ellesborg]], [[Gusanaszna]], and [[Tivot]].
 
After incorporating, the operations of the firm gradually expanded to include defense consulting, law enforcement and military training courses, canine training, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armored_car_(valuables) secure transport] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_storage storage], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_and_rescue search-and-rescue], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveillance_aircraft air surveillance], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_warfare air operations], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortification#20th_and_21st_centuries fortification]. In 2008, TacGen Systems was acquired, which provided the necessary infrastructure and personnel to begin manufacturing of proprietary defense designs. These systems include the Q-model Ballistics Body Protection and the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M551_Sheridan Q410 Wasp light tank]. In 2013, the firm branched out into [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_armoury international armory services] by acquiring Watchman Shipping Consulting, and now operates a flotilla of 17 vessels.

==== 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 ArkianVolscine 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.

==== Ellesborg ====
The Crown Mandate of [[Ellesborg]] has recently begun a large-scale integration process of Company services into their security doctrine due to their proximityconcerns toabout 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.

'''Acronis'''
 
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.
