[font=Impact]Overwatch Incorporated
[font=Impact][color=#CCCCCC]No Enemies, only targets; No Allies, only customers

Overwatch was founded by Alexander Doyle in 623 A.S., under the name Black Ice, as a Bretonian private security company. In 704 A.S., in response to the Bundusch and the Red Hessians, Black Ice changed its name to Overwatch and became a publicly traded company. Through this sale of stock Overwatch raised money to expand its facilities and workforce to better offer services to the Rheinland Military and Police. This expansion also included the founding of an independent communication division and a research division, both of which are rumored to serve as fronts disguising some of Overwatchs more questionable practices including interrogation and espionage.

Currently the company still makes the majority its income off of its highly successful security service which has expanded into private military contracting. The security force garners a wide variety of recruits including ex-convicts, retired military personal, law enforcement personal, and civilians. At this time Overwatch maintains five training-facilities; some of which are also used for training by local law-enforcement. During training for Overwatch's Security Service, recruits are trained in a wide variety of disciplines including cognitive re-alignment and fortification, hand to hand combat and advanced combat tactics. If they show aptitude in space flight they may receive training in such areas as advanced combat maneuvering, dogfighting and inter-squadron co-ordination. The Security Service, in addition to private military contracting serves as the bulk of the company's security personal, found present wherever Overwatch has assets.

Adv Splitters?
Any specific reason?

Overwatch was founded by Alexander Doyle in 623 A.S., under the name Black Ice, as a Bretonian private security company

That would be why. Needs to just say splitters in general.

[Aaronny]

Splitter would be a weapon technology that the company kept during their time in Bretonia, therefor use it for their ships

[Thexare]

Bizarre hostile list. Xenos I can see. Nomads, Wild, and Phantoms are standard-issue hostiles. Gaians make sense with the Bretonian roots.

But, um... the Chrysanthemums? Why?

Terrorism, "The Golden Chrysanthemums are a terrorist organization" - The wiki

[Aaronny]

Taz we should put all terrorist Organization in a ''Unfriendly''. We won,t have business with them but won't hunt them.

Going by the faction description, a Bretonian Private Security company, while still being based in Bretonia, expanded its services into Rheinland.
Going by first hand experience, a Bretonian Private Security company, while being based in Bretonia, attacks Liberty Forces pilots, with Liberty essentially being Allied with Bretonia.

Any explanation with that?
