The '''Company of the Quill''' (incorporated as '''Quill Defense Contractors Inc.''') is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_military_company private security firm] founded in 1989 by retired [[Royal AndoranAntoran Armed Legions]] officer [[Gabriel Demuiré]]. The firm is headquartered and incorporated in [[Packilvania]], though most employees are former [[Royal AndoranAntoran Defense Forces|Royal AndoranAntoran Defense Force]] servicemembers. The Company provides a variety of armed services and training in a boutique-style compensation arrangement for private individuals, corporations, and state entities.
 
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 AndoranAntoran 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 AndoranAntoran 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 AndoraAntora, [[Volscina]], [[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.

==== Tonderouca Tactical Complex ====
The Tonderouca Tactical Complex in AndoraAntora is located on a 2,000 acre property outside the city of Tonderouca. This facility has areas simulating urban and field environments, marksmanship ranges, two driving courses, a pool for SCUBA certifications and frogmen training, and four 8,000 square feet multipurpose training halls. As the first training center operated by The Company, Tonderouca hosts the widest variety of training classes. Included are off-road and tactical driving, hand-to-hand combat, self-defense, swimming, snorkeling, SCUBA diving, endurance, marksmanship, special sniping, armored maneuvers, anti-air defense, tacitcal urban combat, tactical rural combat, law enforcement arrest and de-escalation, pursuit driving, demolitions, explosives handling, artillery and mortar fire support, canine drug training, canine combat training, breaching and entering, hostage negotiation, first aid, field surgery, survival, orienteering, and helicopter piloting.
 
Tonderouca has trained over 120,000 law enforcement and first responder officers and 300,000 military personnel, as well as over 2 million single-class civilian attendees. In 2007, the Royal AndoranAntoran Guard contracted the Tonderouca facility as the permanent host of the Guard's driving and canine training programs. It also hosts the Tonderouca Auxiliary Dispatch Center, which is used to coordinate operations of contractors in Novaris. As the largest Dispatch Center in the western hemisphere, it is sometimes called on to support operations in Gondwana.
 
There has been some interest in purchasing more land to expand the facility, though local government is resistant to the idea of Tonderouca encroaching further on farmland.
Line 93:
The 1-MAC carbine is a rugged assault rifle produced by Quill Armories, a division of Quill Engineering. The Series 1-Modular Assault Carbine is a retooled weapon chambered in standard 7.62x51mm ammunition. Its composite body can be easily disassembled in the field for switching components. Standard rifles are offered with a folding stock and a shorter barrel attachment to convert the weapon for close-quarters battle. Additional modular sections are produced by Quill for international clients, including a variety of chamberings, grenade launchers, and sights. Certain modules allow the 1-MAC to be converted to a designated marksman rifle. Rifles possess an integrated upper rail system for attaching sights. The tappet gas recoil system feeds two recievers, a lower polymer and an upper aluminum. The planned replacement to the 1-MAC, the 2C-MAC, is designed to be thermally sensitive, and will switch from a closed to open-bolt firing mode as the barrel temperature increases from firing.
 
The 1-MAC is produced in AndoraAntora, with secondary tooling and manufacturing of modular parts done in Toloria. It is marketed to a variety of consumers including individual firearm owners, law enforcement, private security, and militaries. The rifle serves as the standard long-arm of Quill security contractors as well as the preferred tactical firearm of some AndoranAntoran metropolitan police departments.

Line 118:
 
==== Gusanaszna ====
[[Gusanaszna]] has authorized the Company to provide blanket armed security for their territory, citing threats from [[Rusanru'a]] and [[Nystatiszna]]. This contract has the Company providing 50,000 contractors to serve as national security and defense for the Borean nation. Most of these employees will be hired locally and trained by veteran contractors provided by the Company. This initiative has been granted 'blank check' funding as the scale of the agreement necessitates significant investment by both sides. Border patrol, immigration control, aerial security, air defense and artillery batteries, and regular infantry-level operations have been confirmed to be under development. The Company has dispatched an initial 5,000 contractors to lay groundwork, and also sent two squadrons of surplus combat aircraft purchased from the [[Royal AndoranAntoran Air Cavalry]].
