Argus Interplanetary Security
"Know Before You Go."
HEADQUARTERS
Astraeus, WASP-39
SPECIALTY
Surveillance, intelligence and low-profile protection
REPUTATION
Quiet and analytical
Overview
Argus is heavily populated by former ICIA investigators rather than former KAVOE personnel. Consequently, its greatest weapon is usually information.
Craft
Argus Eye
A small surveillance craft carrying exceptional passive sensors.
- PROPULSION
- QV / Promegen
WEAPONS
- one low-output Vertikron weapon
Argus Sentinel
Medium escort craft.
- PROPULSION
- Promegen propulsion, QV maneuvering and D-T fusion electrical generation.
WEAPONS
- two Vertikron cannons
- one thorium RFG
- sophisticated electronic countermeasures
Services
Argus specializes in intelligence-led protection. They are particularly useful when the client doesn't know whether a threat actually exists.
- passenger background investigations
- criminal intelligence
- route-risk analysis
- anti-smuggling operations
- undercover onboard security
- missing-person investigations
- mining-site surveillance
- corporate investigations
Limitation
Argus is not designed for prolonged combat. Its doctrine favors calling ICIA or KAVOE when intelligence identifies a military-level threat.
Record
Argus has had protected passengers kidnapped despite successful screening when attackers had assistance from someone aboard the client's own vessel.
