History
The Second Tevarian War and the Roots of the AGDA.
The AGDA was born during the last bitter war against the Teravin. Squadron 42 pilot and AGDA founder Ikarus Rezhnikov was present at the battle of Centauri, where he was wounded during a boarding action. He received an honourable discharge, yet a few months later created the AGDA. With his generous pension and investment from his friends and comrades, he was able to secure a lucrative contract with the UEE to act as a reserve force. The company covered itself in glory during clashes with both Teravin scouts and Vanduul raiding forces, the latter of which earned many members (including Rezhnikov himself) various civilian decorations. Riding on the crest of its success, the AGDA expanded, and in 2638 was awarded a contract to provide security duty during the Kieren Unrest. The work entailed suppression of false information and anything else deemed destabilizing to the UEE. However, rifts in the company over the legitimacy of the UEE and the sympathy for the Kieren protests led to a huge structural purge, with Rezhnikov establishing a formal chain of command and expelling several of the founding members. The company resolved never to again enter into a contract with the UEE. The company reached its zenith with the increasing numbers of Vanduul raiders, necessitating improved merchant protection.
Crises
After Rezhnikov died, the company was inherited by Abel Rosnovski: Rezhnikov’s nephew. Rosnovski struggled to guide the company through the Empire’s transitional phase during the 28th Century, The company began to splinter, with many pilots and marines joining activist groups. The UEE’s most renowned PMC became little more than a bounty hunter group, with attacks directed at Empire separatists labeled by Rosnovski as traitors and criminals. After Rosnovski’s capture and execution by rebels, his core group of followers evaporated and the company was acquired by wealthy adventurer Icharus Kane.
*After the Vanduul raid on Bolo, the AGDA once again rose to prominence as panic set in amongst the merchant classes. PMCs were in higher demand than ever, though the AGDA would never again regain the brand image and reputation for excellence it had under Rezhnikov. With Rosnovski’s legacy fading, at last, Kane was able to lead the company effectively and efficiently. AGDA no longer held a monopoly, but it still retained a sizeable share of the PMC market. One of Kane’s most notable business investments was to expand the AGDA from a PMC to a multi-role company by merging his company with Esperia Malmoc Trading giving the AGDA a sizeable quantity of trading ships and expertise expanding the company into merchanting and trade. By re-establishing a corp of combat pilots once more the AGDA self-sustained and protected both it’s security and trading wings by having the two separate squadrons work closely together.
A New Era
Icharus Kane’s leadership saw another era of prosperity for the company. However in recent times, the need for PMC’s has declined as the UEE reached a new era of peace and prosperity with the building of the UEE Ark and the Fair Chance act. With the Settlement Acts and a new wave of frontier colonisation alongside intermittent Vanduul raids the Security squadron has had plenty of business to turn a profit and alongside Esperia’s trade network the AGDA has been steadily growing.
