Haliathe PMC

A private military corporation supposedly founded by the mysterious man known as Varian Haliathe, many claim the faction was created as a group of demon hunters, though this view is often mocked for being a fairy tale intended to give undue praise to a group of what many see to be violent mercenaries. Over the roughly 150 years it has existed Haliathe has undergone many restructurings as it's leadership changed. At present it is divided into 6 fleets with no officially recognised central power structure beyond loose agreements between the commanding officers of each fleet. Each fleet has a respective animal head insignia, stylised after Varian's family coat of arms, with the addition of a chain clamped in the mouth of the animal. The majority of of members wear their fleet's insignia on their bodies, normally as a tattoo, though notable exceptions are SID's engraving due to lacking flesh, and the rumours of Ulysses having his branded onto his chest.

## Fleets

### Corvus

Operating all over the galaxy, Corvus Company is organised around transporting and providing security for the shipment of goods. During the campaign they have moved most operations to be within or nearby the Core Systems. Colloquially named the "Crows" after their insignia.

#### Notable Members

* Lucian Baramos - Leader of the First Fleet
* First Engineer Raphael Moreno - stand in leader of the mining operation in Gravewaters
* SID - warforged engineer for the party crew

### Leo

Rarely seen outside the Core Systems, Leo Company specialises in high level private security, providing expensive but unrivalled bodyguard services to the galaxy's elites. Colloquially named the "Lions" after their insignia.

### Lupa

The original founders of Haliathe, Lupa Company is in the closest of any fleet to a functional military. Supplying infantry and vehicles to whoever can afford them they will undergo nearly any kind of mercenary work. Colloquially named the "Wolves" after their insignia.

#### Notable Members

* Jameson Zoma - former leader of the Third, disappeared under suspicious circumstances
* Hezsia Yaheil - chemist and functioning medic for the party crew

### Aquilla

The Fourth Fleet is revered for making up the largest navy outside of those owned by sovereign powers. During the events of the campaign Aquilla Company runs border security for the Core Systems. Colloquially named the "Eagles" after their insignia.

### Ursa

One of the newest offshoots of Haliathe PMC, Ursa Company are as respected as they are feared. Comprising almost entirely of infantry they have cut a niche for themselves in the galaxy as the best of the best. Their exploits, particularly those of the commander, are the stuff of modern legends and they hold great renown for their unmatched effectiveness on the battlefield. During the events of the campaign they have been unusually active in attacking the Dead Suns gang, purportedly in search of something, though what, why and who in bankrolling them remain a mystery. Colloquially named the "Bears" after their insignia.

#### Notable Members

* Ulysses Estark - widely known as the Titan of Thanatos, a highly decorated and storied warrior, leader of the Fifth Fleet
* Hots Game - a changeling defector and member of the player crew

### Draco

The youngest and most disregarded of all the fleets, Draco Company tried to bring more respect to the organisation, attempting to cover all bases where the other fleets chose to specialise. This approach however backfired, inspiring a lack of confidence in the Company due to lacking the prestige of the others. Their saving grace is that they are by far the cheapest Company to hire, as the only means of keeping themselves afloat. Colloquially named the "Dragons" after their insignia.
