Mandal Risk Control

Mandal Risk Control
Leader: CEO Sarah Mandal
Corporation Type: PMC

History: Fight and Flight:
As the Foundation War drew to a close the SCG leadership was looking for anyone they could find to blame for their failings in the war. One of their targets of blame was Admiral Sarah Mandal; commander of one of the few frontier fleets that had managed to remain relatively intact due to her refusal to follow suicidal orders. During the war Admiral Mandal had earned the respect of not only the men and women under her command but also many of the forces that had come up against her in battle. While she was a highly effective commander she often allowed crippled “rebel” ships to disembark their crews before destroying the ships and interning the crews. This was in contrast to standing orders from the SCG Admiralty which ordered that no quarter be given to traitors and rebels.
In the last weeks of the war the SCG began rounding up the families of the officers they intended to purge; publicly they were doing this to “ensure the safety of the families from their traitorous relatives” while in practice they were holding the families of the condemned hostage to ensure they submit to their punishment. When Admiral Mandal found out about her family being rounded up she chose to take a chance and trust in the men and women under her command. Rather than return with her battlegroup in disgrace to certain death she led a daring raid on the prison facilities where the families of the condemned were being held liberating virtually all of them and completely annihilating the Atlas security force stationed at the prison. With their families saved many of those who had not already submitted to punishment fled and sought out Admiral Mandal’s forces which she had taken into the wild lands.

Treaty of Seta and founding of Mandal Risk Control 845 PD:
When the treaty of Seta was signed the galaxy was still in rough shape; the nations that had emerged from the conflict were still securing their territories and rebuilding their military strength. Pirates and rogues ran rampant increasing the demand for professional security forces beyond the capacity of existing militaries and law enforcement agencies to handle during the reconstruction. Seeing an opportunity to provide better lives and security for her people Admiral Mandal chose to emerge from the shadows and offer the services of her and her people as private security. With this decision Mandal Risk Control was officially founded and quickly became one of the most respected PMCs in the galaxy.

Corporate Growth 845-860 PD:
Over the next fifteen years former Admiral turned businesswoman CEO Sarah Mandal turned what had been a battlegroup of renegades and their refugee families into an elite corps of private contractors capable of carrying out any number of dangerous missions with massive success rates. Their numbers would swell when the SCG sent a task force to hunt down and execute the Admiral only to have the task force commander defect and join Mandal bringing his entire force with him. In an even larger embarrassment to the SCG government Admiral James Taggard would later marry the woman he’d been sent to execute and become a prominent member of the Mandal Risk Control board of directors.
Present Day:
Mandal Risk Control is the second most prominent and powerful PMC in the galaxy behind only Atlas Security with which they have an immense rivalry thanks to a number of “incidents” where these two PMCs have fought one another including the raid that started the path to the formation of MRC in the first place.

Business Model:
Under the leadership of Sarah Mandal the corporation has become highly respected as one of the most powerful and legitimate private military organizations in the galaxy. It is known that Mandal Risk Control will not take the “dirtier” jobs that other PMCs will take which has also led them to being one of the most “transparent” PMCs and Mega-Corporations in the galaxy. MRC’s current forces consist of several battleship groups and an unknown number of ground operatives. Unlike Atlas Security MRC does not carry out logistics operations for other military forces instead preferring to operate its own logistics corps and be self-reliant in the battlefield.
