Radzgau Strategic Services International

Radzgau Strategic Services International (formerly Radzgau's Private Army) is a multinational corporation primarily spanning worldwide across all three continents within the world. It is currently split into various departments and subsidiary groups, of which serve different purposes: The Armed Component, the Security Service, the Sales and Trade Department, the Intelligence Service, Circus Radzgau, the Research and Development Department, and Burger Town. As of 2522, the RPA is one of the only mercenary groups in the entirety of Oikia.

Initial Years: Radzgau's Commandership
In the year 2140, Radzgau's Private Army would be founded under the leadership of Karsten Radzgau, a veteran who wanted to serve the Tempestian Empire even after his military service. Initially, it was composed of mostly Skavens, along with the few humans within Tempest, working side-by-side in order to help build a small training center outside the Capital. Recruitment primarily spread through the word of mouth, and within 7 years of its founding, had grown to around 500 men. Finances were initially little, with little government support, so they primarily built up the RPA's first center by themselves while hiring themselves out to providing security and as mercenaries to help with the public's daily needs.

An Unproven Army: Nehraus' Leadership
By the time the year 2217 came about, the RPA had expanded throughout the entirety of the Empire of Tempest as they had grown to 1,500 men. During this time, their equipment would be modernized, swapping out arquebuses to muskets in order to continue to be combat-effective when the time came. With the death of Karsten Radzgau, Detlav Nehraus would be selected to take up his place in lieu of the Executive Board acting as placeholder. Under his administration, the additional construction of recruitment centers and training centers would be accelerated as the Empire of Tempest prepared to go to war with its southern neighbors. The Mobile Medical Corps would also be established at this time to provide medical aid to its mercenaries on the frontlines. Although it had much to gain from support one side or another during the peasant rebellions, the RPA stood by as it wasn't prepared for direct engagement. After the Tempestian Empire lost in its war in the battle of Uibri (with RPA participation), the RPA established itself as an independent organization separate from the Tempestian government.

The First Glory Years: Falkenrecht's Leadership
With the resignation of Nehraus for health reasons, Violetta Falkenrecht would take command as the third Supreme Commander of the RPA in the year 2272. Under her command, the RPA would begin to stabilize its finances post-war as well as expand RPA services outside of the Tempestian Empire under the Falkenrecht Doctrine. Within Tempest, they were hired to begin conducting explorations within its jungles in order to find resources. In the year 2284, the entirety of the RPA would expand once more to over 8,000 troops as it began travelling south into Lothernian-puppeted Inmero in order to begin recruiting Inmerics and Sinkajans into its army in preparation to aid Lothern in its regional conquests. Linking up with the main Lothernian army, it distinguished itself in combat in the Atlantian campaign as Falkenrecht conducted a 4-pronged offensive to drive Ionaean troops to the sea. By the end of the First Belegar War, the RPA had grown to over 57,000 troops, having conducted extensive recruitment from countries across Alaxia.

RSSI Executive Board
The RSSI Executive Board is a Board of Directors that manages all affairs of the primary mercenary group and security service as well as its subsidiary "projects". Contrary to most other boards, major shareholders are primarily not included in the Executive Board, though their needs are addressed through ad hoc committees held periodically.
