Nick lets a small laugh out."If I had known how much I would hear that question when we founded the group, I would of changed my mind." he says with a smile. "The Forlorn Hope are mercenaries, explorers and more, and while we are a relatively new group, we've had some success already in operations across Sirius. In fact, we've recently taken part in raids into Leeds and escorted Crayterian ships on trade routes." Nick grins as he takes a breath. "As for why and how we were formed... The three of us here had become friends while freelancing in Liberty, a mission for the OSI that involved all three of us led us to admit we worked well together, and a day or two later, we drew up the initial draft of the Forlorn Hope. Our initial intention was to always have reliable pilots watching our backs on the missions we took, but we've evolved into a capable para-military force, with multiple assets at our command, and the ability to project considerable force almost anywhere." He says as pats his pockets, finding and pulling a datapad out.

The screen flickers to life, and images of Glendalough Orbital, a wing of Nyx's and a larger carrier ship fill the display. After a moment the images change, displaying a squad of marines in full combat armor and Ageira combat droids in a combat simulation. "And of course, being soldiers we're always looking for an edge or advantage. To that end we have a research department, and multiple other less military operations at work to ensure we do not grow stagnant." Nick grins at the assembled party as he puts his datapad away, rolling his shoulders slightly before he continues. "I do so hope that covers everything you need to know right now. I won't be so presumptuous as to ask you for outline what the Republic does, however I do find myself exceedingly curious as to what the objective of our meeting here is." He says with a smile, nodding his head respectfully to the Marshall.
