"Even the space around Parime's orbit alone is big enough that no faction has the means to look after all ot its travelling assets at once, making dedicated security companies a necesarry evil to ensure travel and transactions both stay civil. Blue-Comet are one of the older mercenary groups that make such a living, and they're well-connected enough with the FUC and Vaduz alike that when contact was reestablished with Union space, they were surprisingly quick to get their hands on the latest and greatest in the tools of the trade. "— Rosalina Toro - Reflections of Parime, Revised Edition.
"You would assume with how much Vaduz loves the alleged warrior-ethos and unified 'for the people' front of the VSDC that Blue Comet's mercenaries would be vilified, especially since they don't mind recruiting from the corps' dishonorably-discharged. But truth be told, Blue Comet are romanticised a great deal by the public as a sort of modern-age ronin. Maybe it's because they handle the jobs and stations that Peacekeeping lists as 'low priority', or maybe the laissez-faire command structures and customer-facing business models makes them more 'personable' than the other forces. Gives 'em a bit of a blithe 'n free spirit that the corps doesn't have, y'know?"— Administrator Kanoa Syvongsa, circa 5010.
