Factory Ground Guard
The Factory Ground Guard is a paramilitary mercenary group employed by Whitesteel Inc to enforce the company's rules and regulations on factory ground, the villages supplied to the workers by the company for living arrangements, the farmland supplying the factories and villages as well as the routes directly between them. They effectively are the only law enforcement group in the northwestern region of Caramiza.
The Guard was established together with the very first headquarters of Whitesteel Inc. The founder wanted to protect the storages of goods from thieves and hired mercenaries for the task. After a while, these groups expanded into a permanent roster with a ranking structure as well as dedicated weapons training. Since the northwestern region of Caramiza was only sparsely inhabited at the time, WHitesteel Inc. managed a deal with the regent at the time to have the Factory Ground Guard enforce the law in the company-controlled factories and living habitats. Over time, this expanded into a larger territory and now almost completely spans the Ukanten Valley.
Over the past decades, the tasks of the Gound Guard have expanded significantly. With the advent of industrial espionage, the special unit of the Whitebowler Agents formed, a unit focussing more on intelligence and information gathering instead of brute force and guarding. Some projects to explore new mining grounds needed guards with special knowledge in tracking and higher mobility, leading to the Whiesteel Expedition Rangers.
Overall the work within the Factory Ground Guard is said to be adequately paid and respected - yet still there arises conflicts between the workers of Whitesteel factories and the guard.
Let me make this clear. You are the Factory Ground Guard. You do not protect the people, you protect the production grounds. You do not report to the Regent of Caramiza, you report to our offices. You do not work in Maneds name but in the name of Whitesteel. You work for me and my laws.
Additional Details
Several groups of the Factory Ground Guard are suspected to sympathize with the Steelbrethren rebellion.
Since the newly discovered ruins in the Ukanten Valley are that close to Whitesteel Inc factory ground, archaeologists have struck a deal for the Factory Ground Guard to protect the digging sites.
