Pallarionix Security

Pallarionix Security (Cosm. Ασφαλεία Παλλαριονιξ), abbreviated PAIX (or ΠΑΙΞ), is a private military company operating in Sectors 8, 9 and 10 of the Galaxy. PAIX is employed by several different organisations, providing both private security and warfare contracting alike.
The current slogan of the company is "Strength in Unity" (Cosm. Δύναμη στην Ενότητα), adopted in 2063 C. E.
== Background ==
Formerly titled Pallaris Advanced Surveillance and Security, the organisation began as a private defence company in 2007 C. E. on Mars. Due to a change in policy regarding privately owned military firms, Pallaris received a cease-and-desist order from the local government around 2022 C. E., forcing it to be shut down gradually over the following year.
As the restrictions were lifted after a lengthy political discourse, an unnamed company from the Centauri system took interest in reestablishing the organisation to protect Sector 8 from a local terrorist cell. Now with more technological and financial support, the Pallaris employees have been re-hired along with an influx from the local star systems as the Pallarionix Security military company was formed by 2049 C. E.
== Conflicts ==
PAIX mercenary groups are known to be hired extensively by different firms for different purposes. As the Third Galactic War broke out, PAIX employees have been often undertaking contracts for search-and-rescue missions, typically in dislocations close to the battlefields. This led to PAIX contractors frequently crossing paths with the Uranio Toxo elite special forces unit, deployed to the scenes as the second line of defence by the Galactic Union. There have been no hostile interactions to date between the two organisations, although PAIX operators have been detained by UT officers on numerous occasions due to generally having a higher authority in the area.
Some contracts, particularly ones taken in Sectors 9 or 10, involve Pallarionix Security taking control of a given territory and/or defending it from the joint terrorist cells that operate in those Sectors, or even organising raids on areas of interest.
There have been confirmed recordings of PAIX operators directly engaging Grey Order troops in crossfire, usually when operating in the main theatres of war.
