Faction Janus Security Services (JSS)

Full Faction Name: Janus Security Services
Faction Aliases: JSS
Historical Notes:
In the Omega System the primary shipping corporation is the Olympus Group. Olympus Group founded in 2090. In 2159 pirates in that system were proving difficult to shipping. The Olympus group created a pilot program to test if having an affiliated security service to escort their freighters. The first ship produced for anti piracy action is the Janus. The Janus christened on august 2nd 2160. The captain of this ship Nathan Reynolds. Captain Reynolds after being a freighter captain for 10 years and before that in being in the navy during a war in some system. In 2162 after a year of training the three crews one for the Janus, Apollo, and Mercury.
In 2164 the 3 ships had multiplied to 15 and those 15 attack the pirate strongholds simultaneously take out all the pirates. Sadly the day that the attack on the strongholds came and was a complete TRAP. The pirates had set the bases to self destruct once enemy shuttles and fighters landed on the asteroid bases. The surrounding asteroids also had defense installations that opened fire on the frigates once the bases exploded. The pirate fleet attacked and razed to the ground the Olympus headquarters and destroyed every ship that Olympus controlled in a highly coordinated attack. The Pirates had bribed someone in the anti pirate fleet that leaked the entire operation. The only ship that survived was the Janus because of Captain Reynold's instinct not without being fatally damaged.
The Janus limped to Captain Reynold's old friends abandoned asteroid shipyard. After a few days to get the yard up and working again Captain Reynold's contacted the owner of Outpost Alpha.
Out of respect for their fallen comrades the casualties on board the Janus were honored in the only way that spacers with out a planet could be laid to rest. That is sending them into the nearest star to become the energy that goes across the universe. After the battle the remains of the crew decided to follow anything Captain Reynolds ordered. It was decided to slowly repair the ship and recruit to replace their loses. For the next 5 years Captain Reynolds recruited crew from within the sol system.
It then took 2 more years to fully train the crew to perform security missions. In 2169 the crew felt comfortable at what they were doing. One of the first jobs they did was transport prisoners out of the sol system to labor mine asteroids. Another was to provide security for the Jupiter Gran Prix Space race. Providing security within the sol system was easy since the rich of the system had their own security factions to protect their assets and pirates were not tolerated. Neither were smugglers so the crew of the Janus also had to learn how to do ship boarding operations and seize contraband. The section of the JSS that is based on Outpost Alpha mainly maintenance and diplomatic staff did security drills and restored parts of the base that had fallen into disrepair over the years of the bases service. The team personally picked by Captain Reynolds took over a small section of the asteroid and built a separate covert training facility along with secured separated dorms and living areas. Some of the older members of JSS questioned the ages of the personnel that the captain recruited. Half the team was recruited at age 18. The other half of the team is made up of ex military medic and former miner from Jupiter's moons and the captains friend and former xo.
In 2180 the Janus and 2 normal Condor's were sent on a mission to rescue a banker who had been kidnapped by extremists. The third condor with the covert team was able to sneak into the asteroid and neutralize all hostiles within hours. The other security teams on the other condors were able to exploit the distraction caused by the Janus to also enter the asteroid and link up with the covert team. When all was said and done the Sol system acknowledged that JSS wasn't some small security firm but could actually get major results with low casualties.
in 2182 Captain Reynold's decides to start marketing the Security services through the whole galaxy using the jump gates as a communications network.
