Fifteen years after their founding, demand for Titans and the industry clout built up by massive growth and extreme profits, mixed with Hammond's market-cornering planetary scanning and survey technology and map database rights, had made Hammond a megalithic Titan of the industry. As their flagship product, the Titan, began to gain traction in the industry, greater amounts of resources were required, forcing the IMC to begin mining further and further away from their main resource locale. The IMC, or Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation, started as a small mining outfit, extracting natural resources under the moniker Hammond Engineering. It can use multiple load outs of other Titans, which is very useful. The Militia made a Titan called the Vanguard-Class Titan. The colonists banded together in anger, forging alliances between colonies, mercenaries, and criminal groups, and began to strike against IMC resources. The colonists protested this, and appealed to the Core Worlds, which ignored their protests after seeing the benefits of rising offplanet shipping. Struggling to meet demand in the Core Worlds, the IMC funded a militaristic push into the Frontier to claim what they saw as rightfully theirs due to their initial Frontier investment. Conflicts in the core system, as well as declining profits from offplanet resources, drew attention from the Frontier, forcing the IMC to severely limit their presence.Īfter the IMC returned to the Frontier, they found the colonists had established prosperous colonies, and had identified new resources and wells. Though the brigades, especially the MCOR, are ultimately just well-equipped pirate groups, the militia itself forces these various brigades to function in a singular direction.Īfter the IMC expanded into space and the initial benefits of colonization leveled out, support for the IMC developing the Frontier declined. The famous MCOR is a sub-brigade of the Freeport System brigade, and is largely made of pirates. A standing Frontier Systems Territorial Defense Pact exists which governs the militia and requires mutual protection of foreign territories.īrigades are assigned specific territories in the Frontier, with some territories spanning entire star systems. Accordingly, much of the frontier is made of criminal groups and private military groups unified towards ending IMC oppression. Due to the dire nature of the frontier war, many in the militia have accepted the fact that working with criminals and terrorists is an inescapable part of their predicament. Facing IMC oppression, frontier citizens have formed brigades of "freedom fighters" and "citizen soldiers", literally fighting for their home and safety. The Militia is a resistance group made of homesteaders, criminals, and freedom fighters.
