Narrative

DATA-Log Entry 001-Y2465

The last centuries mankind developed new technologies in the area of Quantumtravel, terraforming and interplanetary colonization. Now it was time for them to leave Earth and to follow their compulsion to explore and reach the borders of the known universe. It has been five years since the people started leaving the home planet and private military and security companies see new chances and possibilities to enlarge their influence and take a important role in the new intergalactic society. The first contact with an alien species, the Banu, helped this as well. The people didn’t know what dangers the universe included and although the Banu were a friendly species the people were frightened to encounter pugnacious life forms. So the largest PMC and security companies of the UNE started to specialise on interplanetary services.

A small reconnaissance team was exploring the Nexus system to find planets to be inhabitable for new settlers. They found out that this solar system not only contained multiple jump points but also the Earth like planet 342A.03M later known as Terra. This discovery was being considered to have a heavy impact on the spread of the human race around the universe as the next forward operating base for terraforming and expansion. While the construction of the infrastructure and the exploring of Terras surface a private security company named Academi Interplanetary which had a focus on planetary security was instructed with the protection of the inhabitants and the legalism of Terra.

A settlement group supported by the government was commissioned to terraform planets in a still unexplored part of the universe. Due to the high risk a unknown area has the settlers requested safeguard from Rubicon Solar Services Ltd. A organization with a focus on mercenary tasks like bounty hunting and guns for hire. Unknown at that time was that the human colonists advanced in a territory already inhabited by the life form called Xi’An. This were the first battles between private military and foreign civilisations. Even though no big conflicts happened both, humans as well as Xi’An started a cold war. While many of those small conflicts were fought by PMC the settlers feared that the UPE would not be able to protect all colonies. As a result private military gained a lot of relevance and grew in reputation as well as in influence.

Humanity discovers a foreign race known as the Tevarin in the Leeward systems. Even though they were not as technological advanced as humanity they engaged in combat and began the First Tevarin War. Alpha Deepspace Convoy and Combat captain Nikolas R. Ilsek was one of the first people to face the Tevarin attack. He and his crew were accompanying the Arthemis, a colonization ship which had first raid contact with the Tevarin. Later on Nikolas R. Ilsek and his crew decided to form the first offense. He was missing since.

The Tevarin invade the planet Idris IV at the 29.12.2542 SET. At this time the planets security is directed by Academi Interplanetarys Rear Admiral Thomathy Wilson. During this time around 500.000 guards were placed all around the planet. Historic records show that it was around noon at the capital of Idris IV when the Tevarin fleet got spotted. At this point landing ships were already on its way and it was no longer possible to fight of the Tevarin outside the atmosphere. While the Tevarins primary attack was bombarding the planets spaceports and disabling the long range communication system the Idris IV security tried to set up choke points in cities and buildings. But due to the unexpectedly attack a lot of thoughtlessly and inadequate decisions were made. Once the Tevarin landed and engaged in ground combat humanity was not only outnumbered but also unprepared for a large size combat. Consequently Academi Interplanetary took heavy losses and the invasion ended approximately three days later. While most civilians were able to flee a few died to heavy bombardment. In order to allow the evacuation of the civilians Rear Admiral Wilson rucked up his troops and fortified in the Wahrenberg outpost. This last resistance was later known as the Idris Sacrifice where the Academi Interplanetary troops fought until termination and died a heroes death. By this act Thomathy Wilson and his comrades became a part of history as they fought the first battle of the First Tevarin War with pride and honor. Later on this impression of proud and awe would always be connected with the vision of a Academi Interplanetarys guards.

Two years after the Idris Sacrifice the UPE planned its counter attack to win back Idris IV and ensure their presence in the Idris system. This assault was leaded by the UPE Fleet Admiral Gichor Xantes who was known for his actions on the Mars protest in 2539 SET. Under his command the UPE officer captain Ivar Messer was assigned to coordinate the mercenary units which took part in the assault. This was the first large scale mercenary coalition in the history of space travel. It consisted of Academi Interplanetary who wanted to prove the last honor to their fallen comrades. and Alpha Deepspace Convoy and Combat whose goal was to prove the skill and expertise of modern mercenarism to potential customers. Overall the mercenary coalition were about 15% of the overall fight force. While the UPE formed the vanguard of the assault Messers section was instructed to form the rearguard and cover the escape route. While the all contending force focused on seizing and occupying a Tevarin shipyard in the surface of Idris IV, the mercenary coalition shielded of all support attempts of the Tevarin fleet. Unexpectedly the Tevarin fleet was stronger than expected and unleashed a devastating strike against the UPE fleet. That day approximately 2.6 million UPE soldiers died in the orbit of Idris IV. Many mercenaries and captain Messer survived this battle what was going to have a heavy impact on the upcoming history of mankind. Thirty-two weeks after Operation Nemesis the UPE was able to establish the Spearhead Outpost on Idris IV which would be the forward operating base for this ongoing conflict.

Four years have passed since the Idris sacrifice and the UPE 73. Frigate Battalion managed to advance to the orbit of Kaleeth, the Tevarins home planet. With the support of mercenary units the conquest of Kaleeth began. At the 16th of October the human army reached the capital and tried to capture Zerek M’rak the Tevarins former leader to finally end this ongoing war. After three weeks of besieging M’raks palace the 112th Infantry Battalion, leaded by meanwhile promoted commander Ivar Messer, and multiple mercenary groups managed to break trough and take Zerek M’rak prisoner. After he was handed over to the UPE floor commander Messer got promoted to high general. Later on Messer formed the UEE.

The UEE is now under Imperator Messer control who heavily supports expansion and colonization. To protect settlers and colonies Messer decided to subsidize private mercenary and security organizations. Consequently the reputation of PMC gained glory and it was very common to rent security services all around the UEE. Organizations like Academi Interplanetary, Rubicon Solar Services Ltd. And Alpha Deepspace Convoy and Combat reached a new climax of influence and wealth. In the following years private military and security spend enormous amounts of credits to gear up their arsenal and get a monopoly position. Also public security is provided by private companies on many planets, funded by government money.

Corth’Thal, a Tevarin Warlord emerges from the corners of cosmos. He rebuild the Tevarin fleet and his goal is to recapture Kaleeth, now known as Elysium IV, and inhabited by humanity. While private security companies are engaged with many contracts, new small groups are forming with a focus on anything that makes money. Bounty hunting, intruding, reconnaissance those are just a few of the specialisations those groups had. Many of those were used by the UEE in situations they didn’t want to risk their own soldiers lives.

On August 2nd, 2610 SET the UEE managed to vanquish the Tevarin forces in a devastating defeat. In the last hours of battle Corth’Thal and his remaining loyal pilots started a last charge on Elysium IV. Even though the knew the war was lost the rather wanted to die on their home planet than surrendering to the occupying force of their homeland. After this war ended a few Tevarin people were still alive and forced to incorporate into human society. Many joined mercenary organisations because they wanted to have a free choice of decision.

After the Kieren incident in 2638 SET many PMCs lay down their work for the UEE and return to their usual tasks, guns-for-hire.

In the year of 2681 SET the first Vanduul raids happened. First it was quite unknown what to expect from this irregular attacks but when Vanduul raids increased it became obvious that they were a proper threat and had to be taken care of as fast as possible. As a result the three largest private mercenary companies signed an alliance at the 25th of August 2638 SET at Garro(Terra). This alliances intention was to merge the groups to create a corporation that was not only a monopoly position as the largest mercenary company in the UEE but also had a huge monetary capital. This union carried the name: Alliance for Security and Mercenary or short A.S.M. The first chairman, Manfred Pewterschmidt was elected by the board of directors, that day. Moreover the A.S.M. charter was released which included the internal equality of Mankind and Tevarin. This was a huge success for the so long suppressed war loser. As a result many Tevarin started to join the A.S.M. As they saw possibilities to gain influence and establish an impression of the socialized annexed Tevarin in the UEE.

A.S.M. elects their first Tevarin chairman. The corporation is creating a milestone in the interracial relationships as the first human organisation that has a non-human chairman and Tevarin, Banu as well as Xi’An in their board of directors. Critics say the “interracial propaganda” is just a marketing attempt to enhance their reputation.

Due to the ongoing and increasing Vanduul attacks the known cosmos is having issues in keeping law and order uphold. Pirating and outlawry are very common. The A.S.M. decided it would be best to create a platform that can distribute tasks to small groups and individual persons. Therefore the Chairman Blake Preston and Trafalgar D. Water Law founded the Public Federation of Mercenary Section(PFMS). This a public platform for civilians and mercenary groups that are interested in accepting contracts to ensure the safety of civilians, traders, miners, etc. as well as to fulfil the needs of the mission givers.
