*"These Sicario fellas ain’t half bad."
"The hell you talking about? They’re taking all the dough."*
― Mercenary pilots
The **Sicario Mercenary Corps (SCMC)**, also known as the **Sicario Group** and **Sicario Corp** or simply **Sicario**, was a mid-level mercenary unit. Oriented towards aerial warfare, it was made up of three fighter wings with supporting ground, logistics, and EW units.

Unlike most other mercenary units of its size, Sicario's turnover rate was incredibly low, perhaps owing to its veterancy. They conducted their contracts out of superpower influence in the Periphery, and searched for an unknown big break. During Arnold Frenken's leadership, some (rightly) suspected him of taking the job out of searching personal glory; regardless, Sicario's record was entirely effective and clean, not earning any bad attention from superpowers.

## History

Sicario's origins are shrouded in mystery, though it is known that before Arnold Frenken's tenure as Commander, it took part in numerous disastrous contracts for years, and was considered "beneath another bloke" by some. The Pacific Federation has few intelligence records on the organization.

Ever since Frenken took leadership of it, Sicario became much more successful, breezing through defensive and offensive contracts one after another for money. Notably, despite staying away from superpowers, they illegally crossed into Federation territory a number of times, though without incident.

Their most fateful contract perhaps was the Cascadian Conflict, where they consistently displayed exemplary performance and success rates and were one of the first and only groups to arrive in-country and deploy as quickly as possible. In fact, they were even hailed as a return of top-level mercenaries from the Oceanian War. They also distinguished themselves as the finest ever mercenaries hired by the Cascadian Independence Force. On occasion, it even took the lead in various mercenary operations, and certain squadrons took jealousy of them.

Unfortunately for the PMC, Sicario was heavily reduced in the Cascadian Calamity Event, being reduced to at least their core units with others like Ronin being presumed dead. They kept on fighting in form of the Deal to the end, however, and what losses they suffered were substituted by Periphery reinforcements brought for the war's final battles.

Sicario's ultimate fate post-war is unknown, given its near-total destruction in the war overall and emphasis being put on its survivors as just that.
