Parahunters

The Parahunters are a private military company operating in Northern Ontario as of 2102, currently under contract to Vault-Tec North.
==Background==
Two experimental Parahunters forces were created by the United States military after the Annexation of Canada to hunt down Canadian resistance fighters. Equipped with experimental jet packs and vertibirds, they operated in mountainous regions and other difficult terrain where ground-based movement was difficult. When the vast open spaces and rocky plateaus of the Canadian Shield proved disastrous for conventional American military forces to operate in, the 2nd Parahunter Detachment was tasked with combating the Canadian People’s Front in Northern Ontario.
==2102==
Already used to fighting Canadians, the survivors of the 2nd Parahunter Detachment turned to raiding and banditry after the Great War. With their leftover US military equipment they preyed on the weak and few surviving settlements of Algoma.
When Vault-Tec North revealed themselves two years after the War they struck a deal with the Parahunters to supplement their own Vault-Tec security forces. In 2102 they contract the Parahunters to quell riots in their company towns, defend against the horribly mutated and irradiated creatures that venture south from the Boreal Barrens, as well as destroy any nests the beasts attempt to create in Algoma.
==Technology==
Their roots with the US occupation forces in Canada mean the Parahunters are equipped with leftover American military equipment. Parahunters in the field wear Parahunter Rocketeer armour while those off-duty wear pre-War military fatigues and other light clothing. Radio equipment and repaired relay towers allow the mercenary group to coordinate their operations across long distances.
With the scientific and technological support of Vault-Tec North the Parahunters are able to maintain a small supply of advanced equipment. This includes their signature jet packs, at least three vertibirds, and several Assaultron combat robots.
