Private Military Companies

Private Military Companies employed armed squads of mercenaries to protect Tesc-Mart delivery trucks, processing plants and warehouses, from looters and criminal gangs.
Corporations also called in the assistance of Private Military Companies to protect their resources, remaining buildings, equipment and other 'assets'.
Private Military Companies classified 'unofficial settlements in isolated and deprived areas as 'threats to distribution of supplies to legitimate communities' The Private Military Companies used resources meant to supply food to bolster armed units protecting trucks passing through these areas.
Local Councils unable to afford the costs of bolstering the decimated police services with Private Military Companies, paid an ‘insurance premium’ to ensure deliveries of food to these areas.

Credence Security Solutions:
The Global Leader in Private Military Corporations.

Centauri Humanity Foundation initially funded Credence Security Solutions to work in Africa, protecting local communities against illegal poachers, loggers and miners. However, over time Credence became a virtually autonomous organisation in order to gain commercial funding, and win contracts in a highly competitive market with other Private Military Companies. They retained a link with Centauri, its parent organisation, to share both intelligence on situations in remote areas and scientific developments.
