'''Radzgau Strategic Services International''' ('''R.S.S.I.''' or '''RSSI'''), formerly Radzgau's Private Army
▲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]].

Line 18 ⟶ 26:
=== The First Glory Years: Falkenrecht's Leadership (2272-2326) ===
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.
In 2301, the RPA would be contracted by the 3rd Order under Yelizaveta to clear out the Eastern Wastes of bandits as part of a deal in exchange for acquiring modern equipment. This contract would evolve into a humanitarian mission as instead of bandits being discovered, that there were only Daevites struggling to survive in the wasteland. After negotiations between the remaining Daevites and RPA leadership, the RPA would come to take approximately 20,000 Daevites in to resettle them elsewhere. Some of these Daevites would also come to join the RPA's ranks, primarily in logistics though some did directly join the RPA's ranks.
In 2307, the RPA would again be contracted by the 3rd Order as part of a coalition against Suton, with which it performed adequately.
=== Viva El Mercenario: Von Plettenborch's Leadership (2330-???) ===
Between the years 2330 and 2339, the entirety of the RPA would expand once more to over 8,000 troops as it began travelling south into Lothyran-puppeted Inmero in order to begin recruiting Inmerics and Sinkajans into its army in preparation to aid Lothyran in its regional conquests. Linking up with the main Lothyran army, it distinguished itself in combat in the Atlantian campaign as Von Plettenborch conducted a 4-pronged offensive to drive Ionaean troops to the sea. By the end of the Second Coalition in 2344, the RPA had grown to over 57,000 troops, having conducted extensive recruitment from countries across Alaxia.
His leadership began with a remarkable uptick in recruitment, new recruitment mostly from mercenaries hired within the Republic Stahlzustand. His leadership afterward was immediately tested in the final stages of the Belegar Wars, as the RPA was sent into Azyeri as part of a contract with the Lothernians in combatting a joint army formed between the Azyeri and Fazarians. This would prove to be a fatal error, as in a battle between giants that the RPA failed dramatically in an offensive on the left flank and would be quickly routed. By the end of the battle, the RPA would come to lose about half of its army (approx. 65,000 mercenaries). ▼
▲His leadership
=== An Oikian Pheonix: Kuropatkov's Leadership (2394-2420) ===▼
Arkady Kuropatkov would come to take leadership in 2394 after a few years of the recruitment process, to which he immediately declared in a press conference in Ruskvia that he would pick up the RPA by its bootstraps and restore it to what it once was. Questions went unanswered as he soon left after delivering his statements, leaving many investors in the dark.
Although the original plans were destroyed, it was known that between 2394 and 2400 that the RPA was planning with Erdelicht to forcibly capture some islands belonging to Tupalei'i. However, they were soon scrapped owing to "practical limitations".
In the year 2400, the RPA intervened within the 3rd Order's 1st Civil War on the side of Lyamin's 4th Order. Much of their support came in the form of weapons, munitions, food rations, and medical equipment shipments, though a small contingent of RPA intervened in the civil war to also directly distribute them, conduct humanitarian operations, and light military operations in the form of artillery fire support. Of note, however, the small-scale operations in light of the country-wide civil war failed to meaningly have an effect in mitigating widespread death and destruction. This contingent would later on temporarily lose contact with the RPA High Command with the defeat of the 4th Order against the 3rd Order, however they were able to retreat in an orderly manner along the Kiof River back into Suton without incident.
The same year, Kuropatkov also attended Howard Wilhelm's funeral along with other Executive Board members. They were known to be good friends, both in business and in personal friendship.
A number of quality of life reforms were made on part of the RPA in 2400 as well, installing music jukeboxes and theaters with motion pictures at all facilities run by the RPA in order to help provide mercenaries access to entertainment no matter what country they were in. The Mobile Medical Corps were also strengthened after a deal with the Ruskvy Union in obtaining vaccines as well as a boost in medical personnel after a recent recruitment drive.
In 2401, Kuropatkov sent a delegate to attend Yelizaveta's funeral despite the now strained relationship between the RPA and the 3rd Order.
In 2404, the RPA opened up its second headquarters in Kaer Valor after a series of negotiations with the Kiavalarian government over the course of 2 years.
In 2408, the RPA opened its Sales and Trading Component as a means of laundering money through posing as a stock brokerage firm. While legitimized through the hiring of stock analysts as the core of the component, profits were mostly funneled straight into funding the mercenary group. The same year, the RPA negotiated investments in Yuvani's industries in exchange for propaganda distribution despite conflicting ideologies of both parties, of which were carried out without issue.
In 2409, the naval arm of the RPA was formed (named Radzgau's Private Navy) after a negotiated deal with the Ruskvy Union, comprising of 1 pre-dreadnought battleship, 1 light cruiser, and 2 torpedo gunboats. This would later be bolstered with additional ships manufactured by Ceironia, comprising of an additional 15 destroyers and 9 cruisers.
In the outbreak of the Great War in 2409, the RPA refrained from intervening in the war in a bid to preserve its built-up global network of private security and military purposes. The RPA was also contracted within the first year to help train the Kingdom of Karkuss' troops in exchange for corporate expansion into the country. Also of note was a close call during the Battles of Ruskvia in the Ruskvy Front, where the RPA's headquarters was spared after brief negotiations with local Ceironian forces.
In the fall of 2409 into 2410, the RPA sent a small team to support a Vamu research team in researching Basalites in Southeastern Alaxia, mostly providing support in the form of logistics.
The RPA negotiated a contract with the Vamu over the course of 2410 into 2411 that involved stationing troops for the duration of the Great War in a bid to ensure the Vamu's neutrality. 55,000 mercenaries at the time would be deployed there, both manning border defensive positions as well as training with Vamu troops in anticipation of a conflict with either the GDI or OFN. This number was originally set to be 89,000, however this contract coincided with another one during the 2nd Cralasian Civil War in the wake of yet another collapse of the 3rd Order.
A joint operation with the United Republic (named Operation Aurora) in 2411 would be conducted to attempt to determine the situation in the former territories of the 3rd Order and to launch humanitarian operations as needed. A joint force of 34,000 mercenaries, 16 warships, and 260 artillery and mortar pieces would be deployed from Winterhome to Freysia, where they successfully landed without incident. However, this operation would be temporarily delayed due to an encounter with a makeshift force of a few hundred armed children. In the aftermath of the encounter, the RPA would assume temporary administration of the city of Freysia until it was peacefully transferred back to the 3rd Order in 2412 after brief negotiations that involved a security contract in the 3rd Order over the course of the Great War.
The same year, the RPA would come to expand its services to central Alaxia, mostly Azyeri. The RPA would also begin conducting corporate espionage on "competing" mercenary groups with the founding of the Intelligence Service, though under the guise of conducting research and development on its security products.
In 2413, the RPA would expand its services to Acoria, more specifically Ceironia, in light of its pre-existing business transactions with regards to naval ships. Additionally, the army would come to be reformed to cater to niche combat roles in specialized warfare rather than direct combat like in previous campaigns. However, these reforms would fail to have any meaningful impact due to their primary role as a force multiplier in its contracts.
In 2414, the RPA Air Service would be formed in the aftermath of purchases of 20 aircraft from the Vamu in the midst of the RPA's contract. Additionally, the Rycker Brigade was formed as a means of providing privatized special forces units, drawing from the best within the ranks of the wider RPA. They were generally expected to fulfill unconventional warfare and reconnaissance roles, though due to the RPA's neutrality would not be battle-tested. Also of note, beach volleyball was first invented by RPA mercenaries while in the beaches of Cralas...somehow.
In the wake of the oncoming global economic collapse in 2415, the RPA conducted naval exercises within oceanic Ceironian territory. Of note, the Ceironian government raised suspicions, however went through as the exercises began without incident. The following year, it was reported that the RPA's fuel reserves were greater than expected despite having conducted regular purchases, while a few ships were spotted due northeast of Hveden. Outwardly, the wider security and private military services launched Operation Hegemon, a business strategy aimed at consolidating the RPA's already niche role as the premier mercenary group through acquisitions of struggling groups. The Vamu, Kiavalar, Karkuss, and Ruskvy pledged financial support to the RPA to keep it afloat during the collapse, while the Vamu specifically permitted the RPA to keep troops there free of charge.
In 2417, Supreme Commander Kuropatkov and a few men would board the Seraphine in her maiden voyage, departing west. They would be reported missing in the aftermath of its sinking.
In 2419, the RPA would come to acquire amphibious landing docks from Ceironia while also modernizing its naval forces, permitting it to develop Ceironian shock doctrines in amphibious landing operations. The following year, it was revealed in leaked documents details concerning negotiations between leadership of the RPA and Qusqonvamu concerning naval developments. However, these negotiations while fruitful, had not materialized in later RPA naval forces.
▲History between 2338 and 2394 has been lost to time, primarily as a result of a fire in the RSSI's headquarters in Ruskvia. It is known that von Plettenborch soon afterwards resigned, while the RPA went into state of hiatus with regards to its private army activities and committed to damage control. 
In 2424, the RPA would take advantage of Ceironia's fleet modernizations in acquiring 65 ships and submarines.
▲=== An Oikian Pheonix: Kuropatkov's Leadership ===
=== Through Jazz, Economic Crisis, & Competition: Milgreve-Auchinstein's Leadership ===
In the year 2525, the RPA would launch a night warfare exercise with the Rycker Brigade along with the RPA's artillery elements and armored forces in Qusqonvamu. The same year, Supreme Commander Vladilena Milgreve-Auchinstein would take supreme commandership of the RPA, replacing the temporary command of the Executive Board with her own. In the onset of the Ceironian Civil War,
