JULIAN DATE OF RECORD: 2941357, 1430 STANDARDIZED UEET

In accordance with official UEE corporation registry bi-laws and legislation, CHAPTER 67A, the following dissertation is submitted for review. This document has been audited by ranking officials within the UEE Registry Corporation and in accordance with UEE Legislation, all registry fees paid in full up front. This document is not to be distributed to any individuals outside of the review committee.

The following is the internal Modus operandi and Opus of the Organization designated as Vederation, or more commonly as simply “Ved”, annotated by project lead GAIUS PRABO {OICL-ID 227828342}.

VEDERATION TODAY
The Vederation [often shortened to “VED” or the “VEDR” ] is a popular, empire spanning, some might even say religiously developed movement, Although this label may be considered contrary to the ideals of a syndicate one considering their almost fanatic members do not worship any deity. There certainly is a fanatical reverence of past events and personalities that the inner circles seem to devote time to fostering. These “rituals” often approach cult-like status within the internal ranks and seem largely based on 21st century conceptions of Medieval Nordic religion, such as the ever popular “The Ride Never Ends” motto, which has been pegged by OICL research as a possible reference to the legendary ride of the Valkyries.

Initial Foundation: Founded at an unknown date in the early 21st century (2010-2020). Earliest alleged military activities have been stated to date back to World War Two, but these allegations conflict with official internal doctrine. Interviewed Vederation members claim that they were formed in 9 AD after the events of the Varian disaster. However, whilst this is a commonly held belief amongst its members, The Germanic tribes of this era were a prehistorical civilization. The claim is therefore intangible at best, and if any official sources exist, they are not known to this UEE administration or the Board of Historical Studies.

Classification and Timeline

2056: Violent non-state PMC that combines the characteristics of a supranational corporation, religious movement and organized terrorist group, all under the cover of “Solar Security Solutions”

[Annotation/1]

• GAIUS PRABO{OICL-ID 227828342}:* The claimed “Solar Security Solutions” angle matches records of a known PMC on the People’s Republic of China’s (1949-2103) payroll involved in the PMC conflicts of 2059 to 2067, during the waning of the United States global reach in the late 21st century. Text mining reveals a strong connection to the well-known, by then indicted Senator Armstrong, and suggests that if the documents in our possession are valid, at least this part of the organization’s purported history is true.
• AMELIA AMANTIA{OICL-ID 227838455}:* This history of terrorism concerns me. Please tell me we literally already have an Advocacy agent embedded? [13:12:52:2941358] GAIUS PRABO{OICL-ID 227828342}: We submitted a formal request in Q1 2940 after the Austin Riots of that January, Please refer to Document {OICL-ADV-ID-20445:1} for more information.

2075 VED notably surfaced in 2075, at the time of Roberts Space Industries’ introduction of its proprietary Quantum Core Engine Technology, as a PMC hired to protect staff and equipment from industrial espionage. However, the first surviving documents of the organization originate from the mid 2050’s.The Vederation is now considered an ancient and semi-secret private society, claiming to have originated prior to 2010. While almost all modern VED activity is centered on economic, military and scientific foci, it’s closed, well-articulated and sometimes incomprehensible ideology drives it in other directions on occasion, giving them a unreliable, chaotic edge.

2102: After a period of rapid expansion through the use of centralized religious cults and military alliances with several proponents, as well as spreading a multitude of non-aligned independently acting PMC branches, The Vederation profits greatly off the People’s Republic of China’s third civil war and is called to appear before The Hague for crimes against humanity. No appearance was ever recorded to have occurred, and the group went dark for over two decades.

2125-2150 Sometime after the Mars Tragedy of 2125, the organization was known as a PMC simply called “VED” and was briefly designated as a possible terrorist group by multitudes of other organizations. Later it notably attracted the attention of PACT, when wild accusations of blame behind the Mars incident followed. Afterwards, VED faced off against these organizations in no less than 6 successive and costly battles. After two concurrent defeats, the VED finally proved the organization’s innocence in the war during the four following conflicts, one of which is notable for taking place entirely within the confines of a single apartment block in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Though ultimately victorious, the VED of its time never recuperated its former military might for many years to come.

2224: The Organization reached a state of significant political power, combining the characteristics of a state and a multi-conglomerate corporation. The Organization briefly held significant territory on mars through colonial charters. The Group ultimately lost these rights after allegations of Human Rights Violations that were settled in court. Any confirmation of the organization’s guilt in these allegations was never made public, leading to a long lasting return to assorted grassroots movements which leave a large blank in the two hundred and fifty years that follow.

2506: The Vederation in this era is best described as an Empire-wide Private military contractor/Military cult with heavy “Nordo-Germanic” concepts, such as Valhalla and Valkyrie, the worship of which was popular during the revitalization of old earth religious culture in the Sol system in that era. These are the earliest mentions of existing Vederation culture that survived into modernity.

VED’s official goal in the centuries that followed was to unite and fund lagging “third-world” colonies under a pseudo-religious political platform with Socialist-Imperialist tendencies. In reality, the faction was an aggressive and popular anti-democratic movement vying for total domination of these world’s people and resources for purposes unbeknownst.

• AMELIA AMANTIA{OICL-ID 227838455}:* Drifting Dingos! Why have these clowns not been spaced yet? I am EXTREMELY interested in hearing which corrupt politicians have been involved in keeping this organization afloat over the last few centuries.
• GAIUS PRABO{OICL-ID 227828342}:* Keep in mind that 900 years is a long time. The organization filed for bankruptcy and subsequently revived itself fifty-four times to date, expanding and contracting with the times. The Vederation as it exists now is only connected with the Vederation of previous centuries through legal charter, not bloodline or doctrine. Sadly, in the end, it’s not uncommon for large organizations to be involved with a debilitating scandal or three, even in a single century.

2546-2611: The Vederation embraces Ivar Messer’s dogma, but has the foresight to temporarily change its name to Newell Incorporated until the end of the Messer Era, named after the highly controversial CEO Logan Newell that was at the helm during much of the period. The group continuously lends aid in the Tevarin Wars via the numerous PMC deals organized by UEE Advocacy groups, reaching record profits whilst releasing essentially no significant products from its other branches.

[Annotation/3]

• GAIUS PRABO{OICL-ID 227828342}*: The company record has been surprisingly clean after these era’s, though the Vederation still deals regularly with its less-than-illustrious past. Its recent resurgence and their CEO’s highly inflammatory ideological dialogue during the latest general elections do prime the organization as a target for advocacy surveillance. Rumors are flying of less-then legal PMC contractors on the Vederation payroll as well.
• AMELIA AMANTIA{OICL-ID 227838455}:* Clearly this Organization has a despicable culture, and on the basis of reviews including this one I have decided it will be necessary to up surveillance and preventative policing against this organization. I have contacts in the Advocacy whom I will be reaching out to on this matter in the following days.

Base of Operations
The Company headquarters of VED has historically and officially been based in the terran city Sarajevo since 2056. We have no reason to believe VED has a truly central command base however, instead operating from multiple locations simultaneously.

VED was believed to back and ultimately absorb a number of officially-recognized political parties in the surrounding regions during this date, officially recorded by UEE document A-DR31 233354.
