The Iron Mercenary Federation began as a loose coalition of decommissioned Terran Federation captains who refused to disband after the Second Outer Rim War. What started as mutual-protection agreements between unemployed warship crews has grown, over three generations of service, into the most professionally organised fighting force available to hire in the galaxy.
The Federation does not take sides. It takes contracts. Alliance commanders can purchase fleet-support packages at any Iron Federation neutral station, ranging from a single escort frigate for a trade convoy to a full three-squadron strike package for territorial assault. Pricing is transparent, published quarterly, and non-negotiable — the Federation's reputation depends on being predictably expensive rather than unpredictably cheap.
The Iron Federation maintains strict internal codes: no civilian bombardment, no biological weapons, and immediate contract termination if an employer violates those clauses. This self-imposed honour system has made them the preferred neutral broker for inter-faction ceasefire negotiations — a role they charge for at considerable premium.
