'''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.
The '''Praetorian Congressional Republic''' (PCR) is the primary governing body in LP 1-52. The PCR was founded out of the turbulent history of the Praetorian faction. After gaining ground, '''Praetorian PMC''' reorganized itself into the PCR to become better able to lead its people. The PCR bases it’s government on a people first system. The PCR has also renewed the factions original vision for community outreach and aid. The PCR is led by a High Praetor, who is then assisted by the Praetorian Council.

===='''Humble Beginnings (32593302 - 33013305)'''====
[[File:Praetorian SRV's.png|thumb|Praetorian CMDR's take part in a pumpkin hunt during Halloween 3301]]
Praetorian PMC was founded on March 20th, 3302, by CMDR Wyatt Novak and CMDR bb942. The group started as a combined force of mercenaries, traders, miners and explorers, all working and travelling together for survival. After stopping in LP 1-52, the yet to be named group decided to settle in the system due to its proximity to several useful systems.
Praetorian PMC (Private Military Company) was founded in 3259 by Tobias Flavian, a seasoned mercenary and pilot. Flavian had developed a reputation as a reliable contractor, and so he sought to create a company of like-minded contractors. After gathering several other pilots, he officially filed for a corporate charter with the Federation on March 20th, under the name of Praetorian PMC. Flavian, along with his other pilots, continued to give out their services to corporations and individuals through the galaxy. In 3289, Flavian opened the logistics branch of Praetorian. This branch was aimed at providing valuable services that didn't involve combat. The branch proved to be a success, and the contracts poured in. With lots of attention on the growing faction, it began to attract many new pilots looking to make a name for themselves. With the increase in numbers, leaders were needed to help run the faction, and a young Federation pilot by the name of Mark Shepard began to make headway within the faction, proving himself to be a good pilot, fighter, and leader. Flavian, in need of leaders, took Mark Shepard under his wing, and began grooming him for leadership.
 
Shepard'sThis useburst of influenceactivity caught the attention of Titan Industries, another mercenary corp who had settled nearby. Several pilots clashed with Titan Industries recon elements in LP 1-52. The group began to stock up on resources for engineering and credits for repairs. The leaders uncovered much intel that Praetorian could capitalizebe capitalized on, and the first action using this intel came by MarchJune of 3302, when Praetorianseveral pilots engaged several Titan mining vessels, caught off guard by the attack. This assault caused a flood of Titan combat vessels in LP 1-52, and soon an all-out war broke out. PraetorianFriendly pilots continued to defend their territory, while the boardleaders came up with a plan.

By 3290, Shepard had begun to feel the faction was outdated, and that Praetorian needed to evolve to adapt with the changing times. Flavian continued to run the company, but disagreed with Shepard, stating that "good old fashion mercenaries will never be outdated." The corporation had expanded into several other fields, but beyond those expansions, had stagnated. The contracts continued to flow in, but Shepard continued feeling like something was missing from the group. Shepard's predications came true, with the invention of the Frameshift Drive in 3297. Shepard began making plans to upgrade the entire Praetorian fleet, while Flavian continued to take on contracts.

With the appearance of Thargoids in the Pleiades Nebula, Praetorian pilots spent a good chunk of their time engaged in Thargoid combat, exploring the Milky Way, and working contracts. This continued well into 3304 and 3305. ▼
Tragedy struck in 3301, when Flavian was killed while negotiating a new contract with a small corporation. The corporation, named Artemis Corp, was a shell company for a larger faction in which Praetorian had fought against previously. The faction, Titan Industries, had wanted revenge, and succeeded. Mark Shepard was selected by the Board of Directors to take over Flavians position as CEO. Upon taking his position, Shepard promised two things: to avenge Flavians death, and to lead Praetorian PMC into a new age.
 
===='''Clash By Night (3302 - 3305)'''====
[[File:PNV Osiria Rose in Wreckage.png|thumb|The PNV Osiria Rose drifts through the wreckage after a battle in LP 1-52]]
By January 3302, Shepard had started making plans to push Praetorian through radical reorganization, although such plans would require a long term commitment. At the same time, Shepard also began using Praetorians influence to learn more about Titan Industries. Several pilots clashed with Titan Industries recon elements in LP 1-52. Shepard made plans for defensive and offensive actions. Shepard capitalized on these plans to push his changes within Praetorian, and by February, all Board of Directors members had agreed to Shepard's plan.
 
▲Shepard's use of influence uncovered much intel that Praetorian could capitalize on, and the first action using this intel came by March of 3302, when Praetorian pilots engaged several Titan mining vessels, caught off guard by the attack. This assault caused a flood of Titan combat vessels in LP 1-52, and soon an all-out war broke out. Praetorian pilots continued to defend their territory, while the board came up with a plan. Shepard led the charge against the enemy forces, and eventually a stalemate was reached. Praetorian and Titan had suffered many losses, and it was decided that Shepard and the Titan Ind. CEO would settle this dispute with single combat.
 
▲After a grueling fight, Shepard came out on top, securing a victory for Praetorian. In the following years, Praetorian worked on rebuilding its strength, as Shepard slowly implemented his changes, now nicknamed "Shepard's Plan." With the appearance of Thargoids in the Pleiades Nebula, Praetorian pilots spent a good chunk of their time engaged in Thargoid combat. This continued well into 3304 and 3305.
 
===='''Noxx Conflict (3305 - 3306)'''====
Line 55 ⟶ 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.

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.
