History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

SPI is a thinly veiled cover created to have quasi-legal standing. The cause for this less than fully legal status is the fact that the Shionthy system is an interdicted Red Zone. The mayor of Socrates Station signed the contract with SPI for general anti-piracy patrols and direct action. The contract also gives SPI law enforcement powers and search and rescue operations responsibility.

  • SPI has numerous predecessors throughout history when actual military personnel are not on hand in an area where danger to the public exists and people on hand have to take independent action.

Trade Partners: 1105[edit]

Arcon Lines SPI has a contract with the local Arcon Lines station based at Socrates Field. SPI provides general police services for Socrates and camera monitoring service. Arcon provides cargo and personnel transport services to SPI and repair services for their vessels.

Trade Competitors: 1105[edit]

Gvaesh Clan (Vargr Pirate group) SPI has clashed with the pirates of the Gvaesh Clan on several occasions and the pirates have come out on the losing end.

Corporate Timeline[edit]

125-1103 Mayor Hank Salmans Signed a contract with SPI to protect the area around Socrates Station from a vicious band of Vargr Pirates. During the initial contract which was intended to last 30 days, the Mercenaries conducted patrols, search and rescue operations and convoy protection operations which improved the quality of life in the community. The improvement was so beneficial the community pushed for a new contract with SPI. As of 1105 SPI contracts have been renewed without a break in service and has been recognized by the local imperial navy task force commander.
