People's Protection was a personal weapons and security company within the Draconis Combine.[1][2]

Overview[edit]

People's Protection was the most successful security company within the Draconis Combine, protecting Kuritan leaders and nobility on more than forty worlds, though this had more to do with the culture of fear and the desire for protection that permeates through the higher classes of Combine society than any particular business sense. People's built alarm systems, storage safe and rooms, and a variety of security products for civilian use. They also produced personal weapons such as ballistic and laser pistols in addition to a variety of bladed weapons. While People's was the only major company in the Combine to focus on the civilian market,[3] the company's research arm was run by several retired Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery officers and freely shared ideas and research with the military.[1][2]

The company's small bodyguard and armed escort service hit the spotlight following the foiling of a highly public assassination attempt against Thessalonika Planetary Chairman Earl Darrell Johannes in 3027, expanding until 3067 when it then constituted fifty-three percent of People's Protection's profit line. All the company's hired staff were ex-DCMS service members who were honorably discharged or retired.[1]
