History

Zenith PMC: The Rise to Power
Origins:

The story of Zenith PMC begins in the chaotic and unforgiving underworld of the Stanton system, a sector rife with corporate warfare, political instability, and lawless space. A group of elite mercenaries, drawn from various corners of the galaxy—former military officers, special forces operatives, rogue intelligence agents, and mercenaries with unmatched battle skills—recognized the vast potential in the market for private military contractors who could operate without the constraints of governmental or corporate oversight.

This group, united under the mysterious leadership of an unknown figure, shared one vision: to establish an independent, highly skilled, and fiercely loyal fighting force that would be free from the limitations of law and morality. Their goal was simple yet dangerous—create a PMC that could outmaneuver, outfight, and outlast any enemy, whether lawful or unlawful.

In the early days, Zenith was little more than a small, tight-knit unit, working under different names and taking on high-risk jobs in exchange for substantial pay. From securing key corporate assets in hostile space to sabotaging rival factions, their success rate was staggering, but their true identity remained a secret. The only consistent factor across their growing operations was their singular, enigmatic leader—never seen, never heard, but known only by reputation.

The Founding of Zenith PMC:

The true formation of Zenith PMC occurred when the group’s leader recognized the need to consolidate their operations under a single, unified banner. This mysterious figure understood that the galaxy was changing—governments were becoming more authoritarian, corporations more ruthless, and the nature of warfare evolving. Small, independent mercenary groups were being absorbed or wiped out by larger corporations or state-funded military forces. To survive and thrive, Zenith would need to become a power in its own right.

In 2948, after a series of covert and highly successful operations, including the destruction of a rival PMC hired to eliminate key executives of a major UEE military contractor, Zenith PMC was born. Their headquarters was established on Zenith Station, a remote, fortified station in the Pyro system. Here, they built their reputation and began accepting contracts from a variety of clients, from corporate magnates to criminal syndicates, all of whom were willing to pay vast sums for their unparalleled expertise.

The Rise to Prominence:

Over the next few years, Zenith PMC became a name feared and respected across the galaxy. Their mysterious leader—always communicating through intermediaries—allowed the organization to grow quickly without drawing too much attention to their operations. Zenith’s operatives executed high-profile missions with ruthless precision: sabotage, assassination, extraction, and corporate espionage became their specialties.

Their most infamous operation, known only as the Crimson Operation, saw them infiltrate and destroy a high-security research facility on Terra. This act sent a clear message to both enemies and allies alike: Zenith PMC would not hesitate to tackle the most dangerous and high-stakes assignments. No job was too difficult, no client too powerful.

As their influence spread, rival factions began to take notice, and threats from both corporate powers and state-backed military organizations grew. But the unknown figure leading Zenith kept them always one step ahead. They leveraged a network of spies, allies, and insiders to keep their operations secret and their location protected.

Zenith’s Philosophy:

What set Zenith PMC apart from other mercenary groups was their philosophy of loyalty and power. While many PMCs were driven by profit and client satisfaction alone, Zenith demanded loyalty from its members in exchange for immense rewards and prestige. Zenith PMC was not just a group of hired guns; it was a family, bound by a shared commitment to its mysterious leader and to each other.

Loyalty was valued above all else, and the leaders—although faceless—were feared and revered for their ability to make the impossible happen. The name Zenith came to symbolize the peak of power, a force that could not be challenged or ignored. The unknown figure at the top of the organization was regarded as a genius tactician and a master manipulator, always watching and guiding Zenith’s expansion from the shadows.

Zenith’s Influence in the Current Era:

Today, Zenith PMC is a powerhouse—an organization feared and sought after across the galaxy. They operate with a network of operatives and assets spread throughout the most dangerous and lawless systems, including Pyro, Nyx, and Stanton, but their true base of operations remains shrouded in mystery. No one knows who leads Zenith, only that they are always one step ahead of their enemies.

Their mysterious leader—referred to simply as “The Director” by the inner circle—keeps their presence hidden, communicating only through trusted intermediaries. Despite their anonymity, The Director’s influence is undeniable. They are a master strategist, always playing the long game and ensuring that Zenith stays at the forefront of every conflict, every operation, and every power struggle.

The Unknown Future:

The future of Zenith PMC is both thrilling and uncertain. While their enemies grow in number, so too do their allies and influence. As they continue to execute high-profile missions across the galaxy, Zenith remains a shadowy force—untouchable and unstoppable. Their enigmatic leader remains a source of fascination and fear, their identity carefully guarded, and their true motives unknown.

Some believe the leader of Zenith is a former UEE officer who abandoned the military to pursue power in the shadows; others claim it’s a corporate mogul with grand designs on controlling the galaxy’s mercenary market. The truth, however, is locked behind a veil of secrecy.

What is clear is this: Zenith PMC will stop at nothing to ascend to the zenith of power, and their enemies should beware. Whoever leads them, they are a force to be reckoned with.

Charter

Loyalty Above All.
Loyalty to Zenith is the foundation of our existence. Any betrayal, whether internal or external, will be met with swift, unforgiving punishment. A breach of trust is the highest offense and will result in immediate expulsion or termination. To serve Zenith is to place its interests before all others.

Mission Success is Non-Negotiable.
Failure is not an option. Every mission, no matter the danger, must be completed. If the odds are stacked against us, we adapt, we overcome, and we deliver. Discretion is encouraged, but our reputation hinges on results. Never leave a job unfinished.

Respect the Chain of Command.
Zenith operates on strict hierarchy. Orders from higher-ranking members must be followed without question unless they directly compromise the mission or group. Disrespect for authority will not be tolerated, and any insubordination will result in immediate disciplinary action.

Maintain Professionalism.
While our work often involves chaos and danger, professionalism must remain at the forefront. Personal disputes or vendettas have no place within Zenith PMC. Our operations are far too important, and anything less than a level-headed, tactical approach will be punished.

Protect Your Brothers and Sisters.
Loyalty goes both ways. Every member of Zenith is bound to the group. In times of peril, we stand united. No one is expendable; we fight for one another. Those who show weakness or abandon their comrades will be removed, as survival is a shared responsibility.

Absolute Secrecy.
Information is power, and knowledge of Zenith’s operations is not for the public. You are required to keep all missions, plans, and strategies confidential. Leaking information, even accidentally, is grounds for expulsion and may result in retaliation from other factions.

Profit Is the Goal, But Integrity Must Be Maintained.
While money is a driving force, Zenith does not condone recklessness that endangers the corporation’s reputation or the lives of its members. Profits should not come at the cost of the group’s integrity or core values. Unnecessary brutality or chaos that tarnishes our reputation is forbidden.

Obey the Spirit of the Code.
The rules may sometimes appear vague, but the intent behind them is clear: protect Zenith, protect your brothers and sisters, and ensure mission success. Every member is expected to interpret and apply the Code in a manner that preserves our unity and strength. Deviation from the spirit of the Code will not be tolerated.

Merit-Based Advancement.
Advancement within Zenith PMC is earned, not given. Performance, loyalty, and contribution to the group’s success are the sole factors in determining promotions and rewards. Personal relationships or favors have no bearing on your position. The only thing that matters is what you do and how you serve the cause.
