Name: Hornet’s Nest

Focus: Private military operations

Board Representative: CEO Commandant Koshak

Livery: Medium grey, gold and navy blue

Motto: When it absolutely, positively, has to be destroyed overnight.

A military contractor and arms dealer. H/N is famously neutral, and will take any contract for a price. Maintaining one of the largest private armories in the galaxy, H/N offers the finest security services among supercorps, though they are also more than willing to take on contracts for colony repossession and hunting fugitives.

H/N is one of the oldest established PMC’s in known space, but recently underwent a dramatic “restructuring” when the current Commander and CEO staged a military coup, ousting the old leadership just as the Maelstrom entered Etheriet’s space. It is still unknown how Commandant Koshak’s new leadership style will affect the corporation.

H/N maintains a corporate rivalry with Nine Lives Logistics whom they view as “bleeding hearts” (never mind that both supercorps make incredible profits in their respective niches). Further complicating the relationship is the fact that 9LL prioritizes saving lives, whereas H/N specializes in ending them.
