History

William Birxen.

The company was previously known as the Vilko Air Service, formed during the early 2000s. It was founded by William "Bill" Birxen (born Vilko Birxen), a former officer of the Rohinese air force. He founded the company with a mission to provide intra-theater airlift support for special operations forces. Birxen flew a version of the CASA 212, selected for its versatile performance and modified to operate from short and unimproved runway surfaces. The aircraft has a crew of two, but can be flown by one pilot. It's certified to land on dirt and grass strips, and is equipped with weather radar and a suite of advanced communications and navigation gear. Vilko SG provided airlift support and flew aerial resupply missions in support of various commando units. Birxen is known to have had a close relationship with the government of Rohini.

The company was reformed in 2008 as the Valiant Security Group. Its role was expanded to include military-related services such as training, recruiting, research and development, technology, logistics, and security. This was done to take advantage of the Europan instability in 2007-2008.

Organisation

• Very complex organisation, with shell companies and straw men. No direct links to Strupar or government. Always making someone else pay for the mistakes.
• It provides security services on a contract basis, most notably clandestine governments agencies.
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagner_Group#History
• Eprius, a London based PMC. https://jackryan.fandom.com/wiki/Dressed_to_Kill
• Involved in an assassination. https://jackryan.fandom.com/wiki/Jeremy_Bright
• Former CEO. https://jackryan.fandom.com/wiki/Rupert_Thorne

[Spoiler] Formed under Chairman Strupar to carry out clandestine operations. Chairlady Pristo knew about it, but let it be because it fits into Project O-Mega. Still uncertain what Rezovi will do.

Operations

In recent years, the role of PMCs has evolved beyond the traditional view of "defence" to include corporate security, infrastructure management, and "creative solutions" such as information warfare, corporate espionage, and political warfare.

• Assist in humanitarian operations, including rushing aid and supplies to Afropa.
• Destabilise and take over Rohini.
• Supplying KBI pirates with weapons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_Prince#Project_Opus
• Providing security to ships near KBI. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackwater_(company)#Maritime_security_service & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_Canopy#Clayton_Consultants
• Securing and supporting regimes.
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagner_Group#Operations
• Espionage against that journalist in Rohini. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Cube

Controversy

• Because PMCs are exempt from most anti-corruption laws, the practice is in a legal grey area, and regulation of the industry is limited.
• The Assembled Nations is in the process of addressing the issue of PMCs' legal status.
• Opposition by Mercy International. Possible assassination or eavesdropping on Adam Brand.
• Accountant RITZ knows many secrets. Trying to get caught. Fugitive. Employer wants to eliminate him as well. Warner Habitami escapes in 2019.
• Link with criminal organisation of Patriarch in Orioni. --> Scorpio/Akrep.
• “A new era of decolonisation is dawning.”
• How does this PMC deal with human rights? Cf. Wagner in Mali.
• Russia’s Wagner Group purports to be a “private security organisation” – what might be otherwise called mercenaries. Plenty of groups like this exist around the world, but with an emphasis on private. The Wagner Group has many ties to Russian military intelligence. They tend to pop up in places where Russian interests are best served by individuals with some degree of plausible deniability of having links to Russian national leadership. We’ve seen them most notably in Ukraine’s Donbas region, Syria and Libya, but they’ve been active everywhere from Venezuela to the Central African Republic to Mozambique. The Wagner Group affords Vladimir Putin the flexibility to pursue Russian interests without attracting too much pushback, both from the international community and from within the Russian state. As a result, Russia’s been able to play in a wide range of theatres far from the immediate realm of Russia’s borders.
