Arasaka
Securities International has a strong presence in
Central and South
America, most notably in Brazil, where they have
completely replaced
the Military and Police forces in the country.
In other countries
they are frequently contracted to provide security for
corporate
holdings and small towns. Since their take-over
of Amazon Securities, they are now the single largest
private army in the region,
and their influence in the America's spreads from
Canada to Argentina. As a corporation, Arasaka uses its combat personnel not only for security and operations, but also to test and advertise their latest weapons and gear. As such, their equipment will be generally superior in both form and function to that of the United States Armed Forces or the EDF, and far and away better than that of other military forces. In any situation possible, Arasaka will us their own weapons, equipment, and vehicles for all th
ings. In the event this is
not possible, they will use gear produced by
Japanese corporations they have close ties
to, such as Mitsubishi or Sony. In the
case of weapons and
standard issue equipment other than
the uniform, it is quite common to
see a more diverse assortment than the general issue,
as older weapons
in circulation among the standard Combat Personnel
are often kept in lieu of new issue. Arasaka
allows this as it saves on costs of
having to re-equip every trooper every time they want
to show off their
latest tech. If a corporation or private party signs a contract with Arasaka for security, the troops assigned to that post will be equipped with whatever was standard issue at the time of contract inception. Combat Personnel guarding Arasaka property will always be issued the latest tech (which at the moment is shown here), and upgraded regularly. If corporations or individuals with security contracts desire, their Arasaka troops can be upgraded regularly as well, but it will be at the corporations cost. In the case of government contracted military or police duty (such as in Brazil or Mexico), Arasaka troops will be issu
ed the standard issue gear, also upgradable
at the cost of the
contractor. Alternatively, employees themselves
may upgrade their
gear (within assignment regulations, for example no
ORC armor for
guarding a mall) for half price, deductible from their
salary.
Its a good draw, but alternatively any
employee caught using a
competitors gear while on duty or in Uniform will have
their employment
terminated. Arasaka's South American headquarters are located in Rio De Janeiro Brazil, and they have major offices in Mexico City Mexico, Panama City Panama, Buenos Aries Argentina, Cartegena Colombia, and minor offices scattered throughout central and South America.
