CH704: Project Castellan
About a week later, the much awaited news finally came.
The UK's Ministry of Defence completed its evaluation of the different Private Military Companies and made its pick of the lot for who to give the Neo Syrian Movement Contract.
Whitehall announced its choice of five PMCs, amongst which was Horus International Defence Solution.
The choice of HI-Def Soln as a defence contractor came as a surprise to many observers in the in industry as the company was relatively unknown compared to the other four chosen companies as well as a handful of other companies who weren't chosen.
Unlike the four other companies which were headquartered in Britain or in Europe, many observers wondered why Whitehall gave the contract to a PMC founded in Africa.
And in Wadistan no less, a country known for its gold and not its military strength.
It made people wonder if something shady happened in the background.
