Whitewater Security Co.

Whitewater Security Company was a private military company based in the city of Targe within The Verge. Unlike other major PMC's, WSC did not have a standing army for sale, instead it was a smaller operation based on offering training, logistics services, research and development, and was a major weapons dealer.

The company draws its name from the river which runs through the city, the Whitewater River.

Whitewater played an important role in The Crimson Mountains campaign, where it was discovered they were involved in a wider conspiracy on contract from Mikael Asterius. Whitewater had been selling weapons illegally to followers of The Condor, and were assigned by Asterius to mine Sela Petrae and manufacture explosives. Whitewater's weapons were utilized by Asterius in the Battle for Stoneshade. Whitewater's base camp and research facilities were destroyed by The Chasm in their uprising and seizure of Targe, essentially destroying the company for good.

Logistics
Whitewater does not make money from contracting sell-swords to battle throughout the hold, instead taking contracts from other mercenary companies to handle logistics such as transportation, medical services, and construction. They also provide expert consultancy on fortifications and tactics.

The Sons of Aquinas are their biggest client in this sector.

Training
Whitewater Security does have professional soldiers in its ranks but instead of serving in the field they operate a training facility in Targe. WSC often takes contracts from nobles throughout the Verge to train new city guardsman and/or police forces.

Many of the city guardsman of Targe under House Andronikus have been trained by Whitewater. Some of have gone on to become great soldiers in their own right, becoming members of other private forces like the Sons of Aquinas or serving nobles throughout the land, some even holding land and titles as knights.

Weapons Dealing
A major source of income for Whitewater is in weapons dealing. The Verge lacks lucrative iron resources, so armies both private and in service of lords require weapons primarily from the Blackwall Mountains. Whitewater has a major contract with Straton Steelworks of Stoneshade and purchase large quantities of steel in bulk which are then distrubuted to clients throughout the Verge, including the Sons of Aquinas.
