SC Lore

Site Control (SC) is an old paramilitary group that traces its roots back to before the Resource War. In its early forms, SC wasn't the sophisticated, powerful body it is now. Then, this group was closer to the military court to keep the disciplining character in their people and to manage internal disputes among AEGIS personnel. This early form of Site Control also had internal security responsibilities, wherein it was keeping watch over the organization from within while mitigating any threats or breaches of conduct.
Over the years, however, as AEGIS began to dominate, especially following the Resource War, dispersed internal security forces were restructured. That restructuring would eventually spawn what was at the time known as the "AEGIS Court-Marshals." The Court-Marshals replaced military court functions but grew more formal and cohesive in its organization, enforcing military law throughout AEGIS.
Soon, however, AEGIS leadership felt the need to evolve this system further. The next development was the "Head Organization Division," commonly referred to as the HOD. This iteration of SC was more like its modern form but was still much more concerned with organizational control within AEGIS itself. The HOD was established to deal with insubordination and infighting on the ranks of AEGIS, as well as other matters of loyalty and discipline across the organization. Now, whereas Site Control has a lot of functions currently, the scope of this department was relatively narrow.
The landmark event in SC history was the activation of the new Border, Site Athena. It is without question the most impressive security and control mechanism devised by AEGIS. The Border presented not only a dramatic change in terms of balance in global power but also internally in terms of its demand. The newly created demands dictated fundamental changes within AEGIS as well. It was at this point that the HOD took on another form and evolved to become Site Control in modern times. Instead of being a watchdog just for the AEGIS, the new SC became a function-diverse division. These days, SC manages everything from high-level security operations to implementing AEGIS policies that guard and enforce within the organization in the post-resource war world.
In this way, Site Control's own development was preceded by AEGIS's own development, from being a paramilitary organization to a global giant whose role shapes and evolves with every step of AEGIS's growth.
The following log is a recollection of the events regarding the formation of what Site Control is now from the current Site Commander [#########] through an interview with AIA Agent [###########].
[LOG BEGIN]
As you all know by now, Site Control's origins go back a long way, long before the Resource Wars. This was back when AEGIS was just a paramilitary organization. Of course, early variations of it kind of functioned like a military Court, like how you used to get court-martialed.
In some cases though, we took matters into our own hands and acted like a sort of Internal Security, if you know what I mean. This was all before the resource wars, after that, it got a lot different. The resource wars took a toll on everyone, as well as on AEGIS.
Now, after the last resource war, a lot of things I don’t recall happened in rapid succession, some of the… info may be lost as my mind is a little foggy, we used to teach the new Site Commander through speech, though I’m the first to have it documented, I suppose.
The story begins once BOD-03 defected from AEGIS, our defences were severely weakened. One night, a large sandstorm had arisen. A large group of insurgents, all with different uniforms, yet fighting under the same flag seized that opportunity and decided to raid the Roof area, in an attempt to intercept a PA-28-165 VTOL that was scheduled to return with a Unit Commander.
Like drops of water forming a sea, soon, the roof was quickly surrounded by hundreds of these bandits. Soon, chaos reigned. The Site was overrun by dispatch and relay personnel, not knowing what to do to fight the incursion. Adding to the chaos, the power had just been cut off, and newer personnel began to panic, frantically attempting to save their own lives and that of their comrades. Amidst all chaos, a brave soul “he who restored order” rose. 
Acting quickly he took charge of the situation by sending ARD personnel along with a member of the Masked Delta Force’s Alpha Squad to check on the Reactor’s Control Room. Once that was sorted, he positioned himself in front of the blast door near the spawn.
He began commanding the divisionless and sent squadrons of them to strategic defence positions around the border. The fight was bloody and merciless, but the night was darkest before dawn. A deployment of the Masked Delta Force’s Charlie Squad and their prototype MDF-001X automaton, with the assistance of a squadron of Field Agents had successfully survived the incursion.
Dawn.
The Site Control headed to the Tower to lower the defences and authorize the VTOL to land. As he picked up his snack, an apple, he noticed something on the Cameras. ‘Asset 32-MKB’ had escaped containment. He took a bite out of the apple and sounded Code Purple: Escaped Prisoner. STHD Squadron Alpha was dispatched to Fort Poliax.
The Site Control is then called to the Conference Hall, where he is met with the Unit Commander and behind him, The Chairman himself. His heart stops for what seems like a century, and thoughts race through his mind. Does he have to explain what happened just now? Or what fiasco happened last night? The Unit Commander starts to speak as he snaps out of it. “We appreciate your bravery last night. The border had experienced some of the worst raids in the recent past, and you managed to utilise what little you had to quell these threats.”, said the Unit Commander. 
The Chairman adds, “We shall henceforth make you, the Site Commander. You are now in charge of the Site Control Division, until you choose a successor”. 
This story was told to the next Commander when they had been promoted, who had told the Commander after, and so on, by word of mouth. This story is what I tell you today.
