Conquistador Security Consulting Ltd. (CSC) is a Carlosian private military company based in Ebon, Carloso. It was founded on 13 May 2014 through a merger of Ebon Security Consulting and Aspida, which were then two of Carloso's largest private security firms. Immediately afterwards, it became one of the largest private security firms on the planet. The Managing Director from it's foundation to 2021 was Carlosian politician, businessman and Navy veteran Estebán Santander. After his election as Deputy President of Carloso, he stepped down from the role amidst political pressure and concerns over conflicts of interest. He was succeeded by Mortimer Fulton, a former Carlosian Army officer and head of the company's Special Reconnaissance Group. In reality though, Santander secretly remains in control of the company and is its' primary benfactor and majority shareholder. While primarily a military contractor, Conquistador offers a wide variety of services, ranging from law enforcement duties to event security. With over 150,000 staff, it is one of the largest private employers in Carloso. It has been compared to the Nifonese private military company Bushido Solutions.

Controversies
Symbols
Since it's foundation, the company has used two similiar logos. Both have been composted of a black diamond border, with an eagle in the centre, its wings displayed and elevated. In the old logo, to the right of the black diamond were the words 'Conquistador Security Consulting', underlined by a black line which tails off to the right. The new logo, adopted at the beginning of 2021, made the diamond slightly thicker. The 'Conqusitador' is oversized, with a black line under it and 'Security Consulting' below in smaller font. Both logos use the 'militech' font.
