Militen Aquila Aurea Mercenaries

---

The Militen Aquila Aurea (MAA) (3400 a.a.H), or "Soldiers of the Golden Eagle," is Private Military Company, a mercenary organization headed by its three original members, "Colonel" Relus Parr, his best friend "Sergeant Major" Auzten Wilg, and Relus's former rival turned lover/wife "Major" Hannah Parr (nee Kyung).

Starting out as just a band of three, the outfit has turned into a formidable task force now over one hundred fifty in the period of forty years, specializing in capture, sabotage, raids, defense, and assassination. Their base of operations is on the remote civilized world of Vaidosa (113.12), in the Svear star system.

Once soldiers in the RFB's Special Operations Regiment, the dreaded SGI, five straight years of grueling and thankless warfare wore their patience thin, so the three of them went AWOL and settled upon the ignored world of Vaidosa in the outer colonies, gathering arms, supplies, and a few extra embittered RFB soldiers along the way. The RFB did not stop searching for them, but every search party came back empty-handed or did not come back at all. For forty years the MAA has risen through the ranks of the mercenary world and has acquired enough capital from customers to buy a few small countries.

The MAA has a penchant for finding its newer recruits more by chance than actual scouring of disillusioned military units, save for the occasional deserter or opportunistic profiteer. However, they expect only the best and will gladly mind wipe anyone who doesn't make the cut. Relus Parr runs his operation tightly and values intelligence above all else, his wife and best friend the better enforcers. While they prefer soldiers from standing armies or skilled individuals even in the civilian world, several members have been taken from either rebel clone units during the Rebellion of the Clones or in succeeding operations, particularly aFra Specialists, aFra Rebels, and Kasparov CIA shik rebels or deserters. As the reputation of the MAA has grown, so has its list of enemies, particularly the RFB, Kasparov CIA, WK.CORP, and the Pixie Mercenary Company. But every time these foes run into the Soldiers of the Golden Eagle, it proves quite costly.

Personal File: Suraa al-Shahoub

Suraa al-Shahoub is a Grenadier of Squad Ares. A child soldier, while fighting in the War of the Dunes, her squad was caught in an ambush and killed to the last man and woman when she was only 15, surviving by faking death and buried beneath the bodies of her comrades. When looking elsewhere, she gave her enemies the slip and had been fighting on until the war ended three years later. She had made herself a nomad for the next five years horribly scarred by the conflict. She was offered a place within the MAA that she initially turned down with some hostility, but oddly enough the awkward personality of medic Tyler Ventrus had convinced her to change her mind. Slowly she has opened up to the squad but again confides mostly to Tyler, his quirkly personality actually something to make her let out the tiniest smile.

Eileen Yenura is the Designated Marksman/Sniper of Squad Ares.  As compared to most of the members of Squad Ares, her life was rather simple and upbeat, a rural girl without a care in the world.  Of course sometimes being out in the plains of her agri-world left her not much else to do except use her father's hunting rifle to shoot at whatever targets she came up with.  Years of practice got her into city and national contests but the stream of victories still left her lacking.  One day an older gentleman made a drunken bet with her that she was just an upstart and didn't know the first thing about marksmanship.  Taking that bet with several shots of liquor, the two engaged in a sharpshooting match that after ten rounds had no victor.  But in the eleventh round she could not hold her booze where the older and thicker man could.  In the midst of the victory, the man revealed himself as Auzten Wilg, and revealed that he had been looking for a top shooter just like him to join the mercenary group.  Since then the thrill of the action and the hunt finally gave Eileen the challenge no paltry contest could provide.
