	~~You are one of many~~ elite ~~mercenaries contracted~~ by ~~[[Weston-Yamada]]’s~~ PMC Dispatch ~~division, the private military arm of one of the galaxy’s largest mega corporations~~. ~~With operations spanning across multiple star systems~~, ~~your job is simple: respond to crises~~, ~~enforce corporate~~ interests~~, and ensure Weston-Yamada’s dominance in the most hostile environments~~.

	~~Whether it’s quelling civil unrest on colony worlds, securing resource-rich sectors from pirates, or engaging in covert operations to sabotage competitors,~~ PMCs are ~~Weston-Yamada's solution to maintaining control~~ and ~~expanding influence~~ - ~~by any means necessary.~~

	~~As part~~ of ~~this vast mercenary army, you’ll be deployed on a moment's notice~~ to ~~the hottest conflict zones~~, ~~equipped with cutting-edge military technology~~ and ~~backed by the corporation’s nearly limitless resources. Loyalty may not be~~ a ~~requirement here~~, ~~but competence is. Fail the mission~~, ~~and you’ll be replaced by someone more capable - success~~, ~~however, means more lucrative contracts~~ and ~~a reputation as one~~ of ~~Weston-Yamada’s most valued assets~~.

			Rarely, PMCs may be sent to respond to a distress signal originating from another vessel. When this occurs, they are expected to ensure the safety of the Liaison, follow their orders, and aid the marines. If the Liaison is unable to give orders, PMCs may follow the recommendations of the Officer in Command to assist the marines.
