Ares Security

Ares Security was founded in 2056 to serve as a private security firm to protect the interests of Annan Enterprises. Lady Maria Kensington believed that as the company grew, its interests could only be protected by a full-time private security force.

Lily, Duchess of Rossingol, fought tirelessly to deny Ares Security a corporate charter. The Duchess believed that a security force as strong as Ares would pose a great threat to the security and sovereignty of the elected government. The issue was eventually put to a vote of the J Andres Commune who determined that defense contractors, such as Annan Enterprises, are a security risk to the J Andres government and must be protected. It was determined that private armed security firms would be permitted; however, all members of the security organization must obtain Department of War and Defense security clearances.

William Hahn, the Governor of Rossingol and longtime friend of the Kensington family was appointed the CEO.
