Cloud 9 founded.
Also called Cloud 9 Vortex, this is the more combat-centric group and covers the entire range of activities on par with the topic. Vortex aligns with the Mercenary Guild. Vortex functions in multiple capacities and focuses on the ones in greatest need at the time. As with Horizon, Vortex is critical to the Survival Division and our Survival Initiative. It is here to defend and save lives. It also goes beyond that.
One purpose of Vortex is to build its presence via dedicated crews and escorts, while also injecting personnel throughout our facilities, including future land bases and space bases. It also integrates security personnel into the other crews across our network, so that every crew may have combatants on hand to keep them safe.
There is no limit to the possibilities of application when it comes to our security forces. The professionals in Vortex may focus on any among an array of areas that are part of the Mercenary Guild but need not be exclusive to it. Any of it may span from first-person to ground vehicle and ship combat operations. Topics range from rescuing to defending, patrolling, destroying, killing, recovering, scanning, locating, disabling, extracting, investigating, and accessing data.
Vortex stands strong as a force to defend our other crews who cannot do so entirely on their own. It also operates stylistically as a private military company for the more offensive aspects of battle scenarios, as with infiltration. It even narrows it down to areas such as V.I.P. protection and bounty hunting. Some aspects of it involve going deep into covert operations.
Vortex exists to use the necessary means to secure the people and properties of the Cloud 9 Network.
