'''Darkwater Inc''' is an [[independent]] private military ~~company~~ based in [[Summerland]]. It is one of the largest private military forces in the [[Core Systems]].<ref>In-game description in the Summerland system</ref>

'''Darkwater Inc''' was an [[independent]] private military [[corporation]] based in [[Summerland]]. It was one of the largest private military forces in the [[Core Systems]].<ref>In-game description in the Summerland system</ref>

~~Prior~~ to September 3306, Darkwater Inc was secretly hired by the [[Lords of Restoration]] to provide military training to members of the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]]. Darkwater's leader, Colonel [[Ronan Brock]], oversaw the training program and reported to [[Senator]] [[Karl Nerva]]. At some point, Brock demanded to renegotiate the contract's terms when his troops found undercover agents of the [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit]] among the recruits. Darkwater also kept an important captive for the Lords in a hidden bunker: [[Emperor]] [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]]. ACT's Captain [[Saskia Landau]] learned of Darkwater's involvement in the Lords' conspiracy after the [[Omega Grid]] network, a secure communications system used by [[Imperial Intelligence Service|Imperial Intelligence]], the NMLA, and the Lords, was cracked in February 3308. The [[Imperial Guard]] assaulted Summerland on February 9, 3308 and intercepted a Darkwater ship attempting to flee with the Emperor, who was safely rescued and returned to [[Capitol]].

Expecting further hostilities, Colonel Brock rallied his troops at the Onyx Storm, a Darkwater megaship stationed above Summerland 11, and tried to takeover the Summerland system, but this was unsuccessful and caused the ruling Summerland Patron's Party faction to brand Darkwater Inc a criminal enterprise. Emperor Arissa then declared Darkwater Inc a hostile military target of the Empire on February 17, 3308, and called for the PMC's total eradication in retaliation for its involvement in the Lords' conspiracy.

The Empire also placed Summerland under the control of The Praetorian Vigil, a new faction that reported directly to the Emperor and took possession of the Onyx Storm.

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>The [[Empire]] has carried out reprisals against the rogue faction Darkwater Inc in the [[Summerland]] system. The private military firm had trained [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] terrorists and held [[Emperor]] [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]] captive, on the orders of a cabal of [[senator]]s named the [[Lords of Restoration]]. Darkwater mustered an impressive armada, but these were no match for a combination of superpower forces and independent pilots. Colonel [[Ronan Brock]], the mercenaries' leader, was killed during the fighting when he fled from the Onyx Storm [[megaship]] and was shot down by Imperial auxiliaries. Emperor Arissa praised all those who helped destroy Darkwater, and declared: "Let the Battle of Summerland mark the victorious end of our bitter war against both the NMLA and the traitors who sought to destabilise the Empire." [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]] clarified that "Although there may always be Neo-Marlinist extremists, the large-scale threat of the NMLA has finally been nullified." All data obtained from the terrorists' [[Omega Grid]] network has now been shared with the relevant security agencies. With Darkwater eliminated, the Empire has installed a new controlling faction into the Summerland system. The Praetorian Vigil will report directly to the Emperor and govern in her name. The Summerland Patron's Party will redeem combat bonds and provide other rewards at the [[starport]] Henry O'Hare's Hangar. A [[Permits|permit]] exemption allowing all independent pilots to enter the Summerland system will remain active for the next two weeks.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/62176ebf8611a510395ad688 GalNet: Battle of Summerland Ends NMLA Threat]</ref>

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>Darkwater Inc in the [[Summerland]] system has been declared a hostile military target for its role in abducting [[Emperor]] [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]]. The private military firm, led by Colonel [[Ronan Brock]], was secretly hired by the [[Lords of Restoration]] to train and equip the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]]. Darkwater troops also kept the Emperor imprisoned in a concealed bunker for over a year. Once their involvement was revealed by [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]], Darkwater's forces regrouped around the megaship Pearl Mandate. Colonel Brock led an attempt to gain control of Summerland as a defensive measure but was unsuccessful. The mercenaries have now been branded as wanted criminals by the system authorities. The order to strike against Darkwater came directly from Emperor Arissa: "I call upon my loyal servants and all other warriors of honour to wipe out this nest of traitors. We remember the innocent victims of the NMLA by punishing those who enabled them." The Summerland Patron's Party will redeem combat bonds for destroyed Darkwater ships at the starport Henry O'Hare's Hangar. Although the Summerland system is typically [[Permits|permit locked]], the [[Empire]] has arranged a total exemption for independent pilots for a three-week period. To guarantee that Darkwater is thoroughly eliminated, the Empire is offering a range of incentives to pilots. These include awarding the rank of Master in the [[Imperial Navy|Imperial Navy Auxiliary]], [[discounts]] on Imperial ships and weapons in the Summerland system, and [[Imperial Hammer]] railguns for the ten pilots who achieve the most combat bonds.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/620e45f0cdd68425834e4348 GalNet: Empire Declares Reprisals Against Darkwater]</ref>
