The SDEI acronym stands for Service de documentation d'Esprit International. Storm Front removed MET2000, Tsunami and Combat from the top spots, at least "for a while," making 10K Dagger the new number one, and pushed the Free Marine Corps (introduced in 10 Mercs) into the top tier.Īs far as I remember, the #9 ranking in Corporate Guide is the only mention of Esprit Industries security business, detailing it as "national, municipal and corporate security" with a presence in France (which contradicts other source on French national police still being state-run). 10 Mercs added a bunch mercenary units (neither "organizations" nor "corporations," but "units") of undetermined importance. Bright Edge faded into obscurity while the other were established by later book as a big four for a decade or so (with or without Knight Errant and/or Ares Arms being a major provider of private military forces depending on the book you read). It did read organizations because at the time the idea of a mercenary corporation had yet to appear. There is also a company called Desert Storm Security, that is owned by Shiawase and is rarely if ever appear has having an actual business of providing security somewhere (it actually goes back to 1st edition Neo-anarchists' Guide to Real Life were it was originally mentioned, along with a "Zero-Zone security" that sounds a lot like a subsidiary of MCT, but never got mentioned anywhere since I think, and a number of other one-time wonder).Ībout mercenary companies, the original list of organizations from Fields of Fire had MET2000 at the top spot, followed in no particular order by Bright Edge, 10,000 Daggers, Tsunami and Combat Inc. Hildebrand-Kleinfort-Bernal - ScotSecure, Midland Guards Sternschutz (owned by Frankfurt Bankverein)Įsprit Industries (owned by Aztechnology, which also own a company called Seguridad Primero) Renraku - Najima Securities, SecuriTech International Mitsuhama - Parashield, Petrovski Security, Ertxanta Police Tyr Security (owned by Maersk, if you look elsewhere in the book)
The top cops are, according to Vice Lone Star, Knight Errant, Wolverine, Centurion and Eagle Security, while the Corporate Guide lists the following :Īres Macrotechnology - Knight Errant (if you look in the actual Ares chapter, you'd see they also own Hard Corps and Wolverine Security) Vice did feature short description of five biggest corporations in the "cops for hire" business, which are different from the corps listed as the top ten of "international security service providers" of Corporate Guide.
