'''Praetorian PMC''', more commonly known as '''Praetorian''', is a para-military mercenary group composed of ex-military and civilian personnel, working together to provide a community to those in need. Starting as a group of wandering CMDR’s of all professions, the Praetorians banded together to use their diverse skills to earn credits and reputation. Now, Praetorian provides high quality mercenary services to those who need it, having worked for some of the largest factions in both the Federation and Empire. Over time, Praetorian established their own territory, evolving into a hybrid of government and mercenary force, trusted by their growing population to provide both protection and leadership.

=='''History'''==

Line 30:

By the end of 3308, Praetorian was nearing its 50th anniversary, and Shepard, always looking towards the future, made several announcements. First, Blackstar would be moving all its assets back into LP 1-52, their old home. Second, Blackstar would once again return to its original name, Praetorian PMC. By February of 3309, these changes had been complete, and a new era in Praetorians history had begun.

~~=='''Key People'''==~~

~~===='''Tobias Flavian, Founder'''====~~

Tobias Flavian was the originally founder of Praetorian PMC. Before his death in 3301, he was a seasoned pilot, fighter, and leader. He forged Praetorian into what it was today, and even as age began to creep up on him, he refused to leave the cockpit.

~~Flavian founded Praetorian after his Roman heritage. He took great pride in his old earth heritage and visited Rome several times.~~

~~===='''Mark Shepard, High Praetor'''====~~

~~[[File:Tau Ceti Journal Cover.jpg|thumb|Mark Shepard on the cover of the Tau Ceti Journal, May 3303 Issue]]~~

Mark Shepard became the CEO of Praetorian after Flavian. He is noted to be a capable leader, and has a good mind for both strategy and business. Shepard's ideology lead him to believe Praetorian needed to adapt to the new century, and he convinced the Board of Directors to follow a reorganization plan, known as "Shepard's Plan." After several key changes, Shepard became the High Praetor of the PCR.

Shepard served in the Federal Navy, earning a piloting job, and was honorably discharged from the Navy in 3288 and bought his first ship, a Cobra MK2. After flying solo as a CMDR, Shepard began to miss the brotherhood of the Navy, and searched for a group to provide him this brotherhood. He joined Praetorian after seeing a local ad, and quickly made a name for himself, even catching the attention of Flavian himself. Shepard was officially promoted to a team leader position in late 3289, and by 3290, Shepard had become the right hand of Tobias Flavian.

~~Shepard has been noticed by several media outlets for both his business sense and his leadership. On several occasions, Shepard allowed reporters to ride in his ship during missions.~~

~~=='''PCR Military'''==~~

The armed forces of the Praetorian Congressional Republic (PCR) are a comprehensive and formidable military apparatus dedicated to defending the PCR's territory, projecting power, and maintaining security within and beyond its borders. Comprising the PCR Navy as the primary space-based defense force and the PCR Auxiliary as the reserve component, the armed forces form a cohesive and disciplined organization. The collaboration between the PCR Navy and the PCR Auxiliary is vital for the overall success and effectiveness of the Praetorian Congressional Republic. While the navy takes the forefront in defense and combat operations, the auxiliary branch plays a critical role in providing the necessary support infrastructure and services to sustain military operations and maintain the well-being of its personnel.

~~===='''Praetorian Congressional Republic Navy'''====~~

The PCR Navy is the primary branch of the Praetorian Congressional Republic responsible for defense and security. The Navy is composed of highly-trained crewman, staff, and officers who work together to protect Praetorian from external threats and maintain order within its territories.

The Navy's responsibilities include safeguarding the borders of the Republic, conducting patrols to ensure the safety of shipping lanes, and responding to emergencies and crises that threaten the security of the Republic. The PCR Navy also works closely with other military and law enforcement agencies to ensure that the Republic is well-protected against all potential threats.

In addition to its defensive and security responsibilities, the PCR Navy is also committed to promoting peace and stability within the galaxy. The Navy participates in humanitarian missions and disaster relief efforts, providing aid and support to those in need. Joining the PCR Navy requires a deep commitment to the values of freedom, justice, and order.

~~===='''Praetorian Auxiliary'''====~~

The PCR Auxiliary serves as the reserve military force within the Praetorian Congressional Republic. Complementing the active-duty PCR Navy, the Auxiliary consists of dedicated individuals who stand ready to support and augment the regular forces in times of heightened need or emergencies. Reserve personnel within the PCR Auxiliary maintain a level of readiness to ensure their preparedness for potential activation. While not in active service on a day-to-day basis, they possess the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience to swiftly transition into operational roles when called upon.

During times of conflict, crises, or other situations demanding additional military resources, the PCR Auxiliary can be mobilized to reinforce the PCR Navy. These reservists may serve in various capacities, including providing supplementary manpower for combat operations, filling critical support roles, or assisting with logistics and administrative tasks.

~~=='''Organization'''==~~

The Praetorian Congressional Republic operates on a hierarchical structure designed to ensure effective leadership and efficient decision-making. At the top of the hierarchy is the High Praetor, who is responsible for the overall leadership of the Republic, setting its strategic vision and ensuring its successful execution. Beneath the High Praetor is the Praetorian Council. The Praetorian Council helps run the day-to-day of Praetorian, achieving both short term and long terms goals for the faction.

Below the Praetorian Council is the officers of the PCR Navy and the PCR Auxiliary, who serve as the backbone of the Republic's military and support operations. The officers are responsible for leading and managing their respective branches and ensuring that their soldiers and personnel are trained and equipped to carry out their duties effectively.

Finally, at the bottom of the hierarchy are the pilots and support personnel of the PCR Navy and PCR Auxiliary, who carry out the day-to-day operations of the Republic. Each member of the hierarchy is critical to the success of the Republic, and all are expected to work together in pursuit of the common goal of protecting and serving the citizens of the Praetorian Congressional Republic.

~~===='''Praetorian Council'''====~~

As the primary governing body of Praetorian, the Praetorian Council determines the missions and goals of Praetorian. In charge of setting up contracts, foreign affairs, and making sure Praetorian Law is fair and just. Using the knowledge and experience of both Fleet Command and the Board of directors, the Praetorian Council is well equipped to lead Praetorian through all situations, from system security, to economic stability, to war strategy and planning.

~~The flag of the PCR was designed by ADM Wyatt Novak, in 3309. After~~ a ~~meeting~~ of ~~Praetorian Council~~, ~~Novak produced the~~ flag~~, parts of which are also used on the coat of arms~~. The ~~center~~ shape is based of a shield of the ancient Earth unit from which ~~the PCR~~ gets its name, the Praetorian Guard. The shield symbolizes the protection and security that ~~the PCR~~ provides to its ~~citizens~~. The ~~swords behind~~ the ~~shield are modelled after ancient roman "Gladius swords~~,~~" that reinforce~~ the ~~PCR's military focus~~. The ~~laurel wreath around the swords is to symbolize victory~~ and ~~achievement. Finally,~~ the stars ~~around the symbols is to symbolize the~~ interstellar ~~expansion~~ and ~~influence of the PCR~~.

Praetorian uses a shield shaped crest as a coat of arms, and for its flag. The main shape is based of a shield of the ancient Earth unit from which Praetorian gets its name, the Praetorian Guard. The shield symbolizes the protection and security that Praetorian provides to its members. The scorpion symbol is derived from the same source, the ancient earth Praetorian Guard. The Scorpio constellation and the stars represent Praetorians interstellar reach. The lightning bolts represent Praetorians power and authority.
