Ironhart Research

Ironhart research is a mercenary research company owned by Thorn Ironhart established in YE 36

There is no distinct logo, nor any documentation, being a one woman venture. However, moves have been made to expand, including the purching of the ISS Eyesore and retrofitting it as a mobile lab and fleet support vehicle, the purchase of three Eye-III Class Stealth Corvettes. Also, in YE 41, a business license was granted by Yamatai for operation in SAOY territory, and later that month by the New Dusk Conclave.

Thorn Ironhart approached M.E.C.H.A. In YE:36 for employment, and has since enjoyed a spectacular mission history and multiple awards for exemplary service in the scientific fields of Mercenary work. She has repeatedly paid for herself as far as cost and risk versus reward allows. Unless otherwise noted, mission was successful, even if there were charges filed.
