Association of Interstellar Mercenaries

Summary of the Faction
Founded by the former Imperial Stormtroopers Status Yogru, Aether and Ella Zingo after they recently deserted with a small amount of Stormtroopers. With the help of Yogru's money, Zingo's contacts, and their general reputation, they quickly found themselves with plenty of allies, such as the former CFS Presidantial Candidate Stepan Romanov, who supports AIM with the neccessary founds they need for the newest program; Tractus Apparatus.

In actuality, the Association of Intergalactic Mercenaries[AIM] is a Private Military Company[PMC] that combines effectiveness and honor with dignity and strength.

The base of operations is located in the lush forests of Muunilinst. The base called Outer Heaven is a complex of:


 * Eight warehouses
 * Four secondary hangars
 * Four barracks
 * Two Officer's Lounges
 * Two research facilities
 * Heavy anti-personell and anti-air batteries
 * One large communication center
 * Three smaller communication centers
 * Four power generators
 * One headquarter
 * Main hangar, containing the Tactus Apparatus.

The entire complex is guarded by Romanov's Personal Guard at all times, and has several different shield generators able to hold off all but the most powerful bombardment.

Background
Aether, Yogru and Zingo were all seasoned Stormtroopers with several famous battles and awards to their names. They were trained in Talon's First, a legendary Stormtrooper Unit which they are now three of the remaining four survivors of the Unit, the last being the famous Malone, who joined the AIM after being recruited by Zingo.

After all three had seen combat, and seen that the Grand Admiral and his lackeys had no respect or honor for the soldiers that uphold the Empire, for soldiers at all. All they did was decieve the troops on the ground, and sent them to their certain doom because it fit the personal gains of the commanders.

So, after they reunited after a long time being on different ends of the galaxy, they started to discuss this among themselves and started making plans.

They recruited more Stormtroopers under their own rank to their cause, and started to device a plan to defect from the Empire and to build up a mercenary company that would put the Soldier's Honor first.

When they defected with the troops, they headed to the old InterGalactic Banking Clan's homeplanet Muunilinst and founded the Association of Intergalactic Mercenaries, or AIM for short. With the help of a former New Republic Colonel's, Stepan Romanov, funds and the saved funds from their Imperial Jedi-hunting days, they hired weapon researchers from all over the galaxy started the Tractus Apparatus project.
