Fenix Glide

A video file is attached, in which a pretty blonde woman with Procekan features speaks in a clear and cheerful voice.
  "In today’s most dangerous frontiers, public and private interests alike need a hand providing reliable security and precision action. Here at Fenix Glide, we believe in picking the right man for the job, both when offering protection and on the offensive."
The video pans over footage of men and woman in Procekan military uniforms, lined up and standing at attention.
"Fenix Glide staffs three independantly hireable teams of military veterens hired from right here in Alpha Centauri. Years of experience at the ready to meet your needs, using the same equipment as the Procekan military uses. And held to the same high standard."
A man steps forward from the lineup at the end of the pan, outfitted in a powered hardsuit and carrying a heavy rifle. He looks confident, and his hair is perfect.
The scene transitions to a woman seated at a desk, ambiguously handling some printouts while talking to someone just offscreen.
"Contact us today, and a client satisfaction agent will be assigned to your file to help you pick the perfect team, and the perfect loadout, for your activity." The way she says it almost makes it sound like you are hiring them for something fun. Like planning a birthday party.
"Put our men and women where they can do the most good. Put your faith in Fenix Glide." The video ends with a fade to a red and white logo of an outstretched wing, with the name of the company below.  

Skilled Express

The documentation on Skilled Express starts with a fairly clean page, if somewhat sparse for information, that clearly lays out their mission statement as being an army for hire. The rest of their page is a nest of links to other pages, including a history page that talks about the company's founding 40 years ago, and dozens of previous jobs they have done ranging from defensive escort, VIP extraction, ship boarding actions, riot control, and private warfare. From their roster, yet another page, they currently bring 35 guys to the table. Only pictures and very short blurbs about their skills offer any description, you don't know who these people are or how much experience they really have. Pictures of their operations indicate that while their stuff is certainly military grade, none of their gear is especially high end or heavy duty. No tanks, no havoc frames, just a bunch of guys with body armor and guns. A private army on a budget. Though for the amount of manpower they have, its not a bad price.  

Basalt Inc

The document before you is headed by a logo of some pillars of black stone, with 'Basalt Inc.' etched into them. A photo of an older, weathered man (which the document doesn't actually identify by name, or even relation to Basalt Inc) preceeds the text.
  Here at Basalt, we fight smarter not harder. A dedicated team of electronic warfare experts provides support to our ground assault squad of 8 expert operators. Our operators are Rheinland trained, and are without equal. At additional expense a Rheinland CS-21 Havoc Frame can also be deployed as heavy support. We've never failed and we won't start now.   Thats it. Thats the whole thing. A CS-21 is no joke, thats a heavy duty piloted exoframe designed for orbital insertion. Only slightly behind current generation Rheinland military tech.  

Ruthless Devil Company

The video file for this company starts off with a logo of an armored suit helmet with red horns, set to a metal guitar riff. What follows is a montage of groups of men in light and heavy hardsuits charging down hallways providing cover to each other, firing rifles at things offscreen, and jetting through space on EVA thrusters with nauseating zoom cuts and shakeycam. There seem to be a bunch of them, probably more than a dozen and at least a couple of dogs among their number. The metal guitar riff is constant. No one has said a word yet. The footage gets a bit reptative in terms of content, showing action men doing action, before it ups the ante as a large armored spider-tank crests the hill following after the soldiers. A Procekan Cataphract, an old but classic model and plenty dangerous. A second Cataphract joins the first. There is, for a moment at the very end, a baffling scene of the soldiers triumphantly standing atop the Cataphracts as they move. The horned helmet logo from the start of the video returns, and the metal guitar finally fades to silence.
