Titan Multinational

Titan Multinational is one of the many factions present in the Neonverse.

## Overview

Titan Multinational is the largest existing PMC in the world. It was originally was created as a militia of bounty hunters in 1865, composed entirely of American Civil War veterans. It quickly branched out into private security, private military and private policing and became one of the world's largest employers in 2046.

Titan Multinational has a long history of human rights abuses and acts of brutality. It's no secret that they're one of the most corrupt corporations to walk the earth, and it doesn't help that they have the largest standing military at their fingertips. Their military power is nearly unrivalled by any other nation or corporation, they're a global superpower with operations in just about every nation.

## History

### 1865-1899

On the 3rd of June in the year 1865, an unorganised militia of bounty hunters and vigilantes led by a former Confederate officer called Edmund Lambert was established, called the Lambert Boys. They roamed the American Frontier, growing into one of the biggest bounty hunting organisations at the time. Lambert's extensive military experience and tactical knowledge allowed them to become one of the most formidable bounty hunting groups in America.

In 1895, Edmund Lambert began planning an expansion to Europe. Lamberts Boys had already crossed the borders and had operations in Canada and Mexico, but he foresaw opportunity on the other side of the Atlantic. Unfortunately for him, a notorious gang called the Black Boys had other plans. Their trains, wagons and other transports were often hit by the gang and their supplies were taken straight from them. This went on for months straight and Lambert's expansion plan had to be heavily delayed. Enraged, he set out with a small army of bounty hunters to take down the Black Boys.

Edmund Lambert's death on the 17th of August, 1895 had devastating affects on his militia. Their numbers rapidly dropped as their new leadership was incompetent compared to the military mastermind Edmund Lambert, along with the fact that they had essentially been pillaged by one of the most dangerous gangs at the time. They were forced to reorganise into a new organisation called Titan Security Services and became a private security company operating across North America.

### 1900-1949

In 1902, they followed through with their earlier plans to expand to Europe and set up security operations in Germany and France. Over the following 12 years, Titan Security Services became one of the most esteemed security companies in the world, but things needed to take a turn when World War I broke out in 1914. Titan decided it was time for another rebrand and became Titan Multinational at the start of 1915, being one of the world's first private armies. They managed to score contracts with both sides of the war, assisting them as best as they could. They couldn't compete with the militaries of the world's strongest nations, but they could certainly get themselves noticed.

After World War I ended and the Prohibition Era began in America, they saw an opportunity. Titan Multinational took advantage of the situation and landed contracts with various city police departments across the United States and began putting down bootlegging operations alongside law enforcement. Titan had figured out that forcing themselves into major conflict or event was working, and it was working very well.

When World War II broke out, they repeated themselves. They sold themselves and their soldiers out to everyone they could, stretching themselves thin fighting for both sides. They always considered themselves neutral and never took a side, they just worked for whoever paid. After World War II came to a close in 1945, Titan returned to their ordinary private security and mercenary work like always. Their involvement in World War II had gotten them on good terms with just about every nation and their governments and they rapidly expanded across the entire globe over the following several decades.

### 1950-1999

Just like with every war before them, Titan Multinational involved itself in the Korean War and Vietnam War. Outside of these major conflicts, they also found themselves caught up in the Cold War in other ways. The Soviet Union took a particular interest in hiring Titan to carry out some of their dirty work, including acting as a pseudo-police force in East Berlin alongside the actual city's police force. Titan's willingness to oppress the people of East Berlin for the Soviet Union caused many Americans to question their loyalty to them, but the United States chose to ignore it thanks to Titan bending over backwards in Korea and Vietnam just for them. Titan's neutral approach to the world's geopolitics was working beautifully.

When the Yugoslav Wars kicked off in 1991, Titan once again got themselves involved. Like always, they worked for everybody and assisted anyone who paid, the only thing they refused to do was pit their own private soldiers against one another. The Yugoslav Wars was when Titan truly showed the world their potential. Their private soldiers were found all over the war, and Titan often found themselves recovering abandoned military supplies, weapons and vehicles. They vastly expanded their arsenal just by scavenging the battlefields of the wars, soldifying themselves as the toughest private army in the world before the turn of the 21st century.

### 2000-2049

When the United States began the War on Terror in 2001, Titan Multinational was there again, but they played a much larger role than in any previous war. Rather than sending just a few thousand men to die for their employees, they pulled out everything they could and fought harder than any sovereign army there. With everything they recovered from the Yugoslav Wars, they landed their employers victory after victory. Their mercenaries were all over the Middle East, doing America's dirty work and getting paid big time for it.

When World War III broke out, Titan decided to act independently. They had amassed more than enough to act on their own and secure their own resources. They found themselves going up against entire nations and they weren't even getting paid to do it. Titan of course took on contracts here and there, but they were otherwise on their own. The resources they secured during the wars allowed them to construct their own high-tech arsenal superior to that of any nation.

When the Second American Civil War started in 2028, Titan intervened. They supported the federal government in squashing the local insurgencies operating all over the country, becoming America's go-to for crisises and emergencies. Instead of being the little guys helping where they could, they were the big dogs lending a hand. America wasn't going to them so they didn't have to send their own men to die, they were forced to rely on Titan. By the end of WW3 in 2032 and the Civil War in 2033, Titan was the strongest standing military in the world and started to branch out to private police work.

In 2044, Titan Multinational was contracted by the city of Lunair to help suppress Bluebird and several other violent crime groups operating in the city. They established a military dictatorship within the city, resulting in the start of the Lunair Civil Conflict. Rather than acting as an agency of peacekeeping and traditional law enforcement, they brutally suppressed the entire city with an army of trained killers and took advantage of the weakened city to turn a profit of questionable legitimacy.

## Organisation

Titan Multinational follows a similar chain of command to that of many soveriegn militaries. When organised as most-senior to least-senior, Titan's chain of command would appear as: CEO, President, Field Marshal, General, Lieutenant General, Major General, Senior Colonel, Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major, Cpatain, Lieutenant, Staff Sergeant, Sergeant, Corporal and Private.

Titan has five primary regions: Western United States, Eastern United States, Europe, Asia and Africa. Each of them is assigned a General, with the exclusion of Europe which uses the Field Marshal (who also oversees global operations). Any other regions Titan operates in are too small to be assigned a General.
