Knight Errant
Biggest competitor to Lone Star, and formerly the law in Seattle.
Legally, a subsidiary of Ares. Morally, a subsidiary of fascism. Knight Errant is in an ongoing rivalry with Lone Star both for security contracts across the world and to see who can violate the most rights of disenfranchised people per hour. The fact that they named the corp after people of legend who wandered around helping those in need and righting wrongs is a cruel joke. The incentive system in which they operate couldn’t be more clear. They make money for closing cases. Jailing suspects is one way to do that, but killing them while arresting them is cheaper. Arresting people that the corp suits don’t like to see near them makes the suits happy. Arresting corp suits does not. And making the suits unhappy loses you contracts. So they treat the elite with kid gloves, and they treat the underclass like they’re a hammer and we’re a particularly stubborn nail. They have no viable definition of “justice” and no concept of solving problems through anything but force. Even when they’re well-intentioned, they’re wrong. To make things worse, former Lone Star top gun Clayton Wilson sits at the top of this corp. The fact that he needed to find a new badge to hide behind should tell you loads about his character
