Battle News
Wyrm Fetish · Werewolf
Battle News follows investigative war-zone journalists embedded in front-line combat units. It explores the day-to-day existence of soldiers, from recreation to the mind-numbing boredom between patrols and the gut-wrenching terror of combat.
Battle News skews coverage to serve Pentex’s political and psychological goals. Governments who hire First Team paramilitary units or allow Pentex to construct training facilities and barracks within their borders receive favorable reporting while their enemies are portrayed as bloodthirsty extremists.
Battle News correspondents carefully manage reports to avoid exposing identifiable First Teams. Sympathetic stories generically focus on troops, highlighting the brave men and women performing vital battlefield support
roles and avoiding discussion of combat. The journalists are very careful not to mention the horrendous carnage inflicted on their enemies by Pentex’s overwhelming firepower — including chemical and biological weapons that always need field testing.
Pentex First Teams have some of the finest equipment the corporation can provide via its vast network of subsidiaries. If the First Teams need something that an existing subsidiary can’t manufacture, synthesize, or procure, Pentex will find it, and initiate an aggressive acquisition campaign. The company prefers to keep First Team supply chains ‘in-house’ to better service the unique requirements of many of its staff.
First Team administrators coordinate supply with the Board’s blessing. While the First Team budget is finite, the powers within Pentex always seem able to squeeze a little more when needed. After all, it may be one of their pet projects that requires the next First Team intervention.
Pentex is very interested in weapons manufacture — Full Force Solutions is just one of the many arms merchants in Pentex’s portfolio. Full Force enjoys the envious position as not only Pentex’s premiere manufacturer, but also the key supplier of First Team weapons and equipment. The subsidiary generates billion-dollar profits each year selling weapons and armor to governments, dictators, freedom fighters, and terrorists across the world. Wherever people need guns for self-protection, assassination, or for violently overthrowing governments, Full Force has the solution.
Full Force Solutions has defeated dozens of legal challenges trying to link it to the supply of weapons to
terror groups. Its covert arms traffickers are the best in the business and FFS has always provided clear, water-tight records showing that all its products were legally manufactured and sold to legitimate customers. On paper, the arms supplier is transparent, accountable, and untouchable.
