Daedalus Armour Systems

Daedalus Armour Systems (often referred to as simply Daedalus) is a private British-American firm that specializes in paramilitary testing.

A great portion of the history of the company is confidential, and thus not public knowledge.

Daedalus' Inception and Mission
What is known about Daedalus, however, is that it is a post Rise firm that specializes in the protection of private assets through experimentation with prototypical technologies.

Founded by the Deadly Five (as the Board of the firm is often called) post Rise at an unknown date, the number 1 priority of the firm is to enable those who are often in danger to protect themselves, their property, and their loved ones in times of distress. This, however, is a limited mission statement. Daedalus systems and technologies are only availabe to very powerful and influential companies, governments, and people, while a majority of the grunt work, i.e. experimentatioin and testing, is left to a small pool of paramilitary contractors.

Known Prototypes
There are very few known prototypes in use by the testing contractors that are known to the public. As a majority of their information is secret, Daedalus only opens two or three contractor positions  every five years to the public. Even then, the candidates are thuroughly vetted and are judged on physicallity, tactical intellect, marksmenship, past military, paramilitary, or Nightlands engagements/tours of duty, and primary area of operations.

The known prototypes in use by the public contractors are: These are only the known prototypes in testing right now. Many other technologies are kept secret, and the full extent of Daedalus' arsenal has yet to be discovered.
