Original Sin / ORSN

Original Sin: Founded August 25th 2612

Original Sin has a long and bloody history, dating back to the Second Tevarin War. ORSN was created two years after the end of said war. All founding members of Original Sin were the remnants of the original 1st Marine Combat Battalion. These men and women would go on to create one of the most respected PMCs in the entire SOL system and later Stanton system. Due to their outstanding and courageous history, ORSN is the only PMC to date that is allowed an operational base on the home planet-base of the UEE Marines, Corin. They also have been invited numerous times to participate in wargames hosted by the Marines. ORSN has strong ties to their former organization, which results in similar structure and traditions. This is due to the fact that only those who have finished their contract with the UEE Marines are eligible for hire. Original Sin has been in almost every major military engagement since, due to receiving contracts from the United Empire of Earth Government or corporations looking for solutions.

Operation Oberon:

Mid-2605, Tevarin forces captured a major landing zone on the planet Uriel. This caused UEE military officials to fear this was the next phase of the Tevarin war strategy. UEE analysts recognized that a Tevarin base on Uriel could be a resupply or staging point for attacks against Vega, Bremen, or even advances through the Perry Line. If this phase of the war came to pass, it could lead to a Tevarin-Xi’an alliance. Marine General Russ Adachi encouraged the High Command to accept a surgical strike operation which would be lead by the 1st Marine Combat Battalion rather than a massive joint strike. After some debate, High Command begrudgingly agreed on the surgical strike. The 1st MCB landed successfully, infiltrated, and destroyed a quantum fuel refinery near the landing zone on June 24, 2605. However, unknown to High Command, the commanding Naval officer in this operation was a Tevarin sympathizer. This resulted in all Naval air support being withdrawn as the Marines launched. Which in turn left the 1st MCB stranded with no external help. Once the charges were detonated and the target destroyed, the Marines moved to their extraction point. It was expected that the explosion would alert all enemy units in the area. However friendly air support would intercept these enemy units while the Marines extracted, but air support never arrived. This lead to the Marines being caught in the open and the few 1st MCB gunships were quickly shot down by the overwhelming forces. With no other options, the Marines fell back to the refinery complex. They fought for 6 hours until they realized help was not coming. At this point, the Marines suffered 75% causalities but a choice had to be made. The remaining commanding officers agreed to withdraw to the nearest snowy mountain range. The Marines fought with everything they had left, as they pushed towards the mountains and safety. When they finally arrived, only 15% of the total landing force survived. Once disappearing into the mountains, the surviving members of the 1st MCB established a base of operations and went to work on starting their two year long guerilla war.

The Aftermath:

Those who survived the war were assigned into newly formed units to secure the frontier from future threats. On April 13th 2612, the Krethan Warhouse of Tevarin, these sympathizers attacked Kilian VI and massacred four settlements. Up to this point, the 1st MCB were the only unit in UEE Marine history that experienced this level of combat. This resulted in all remaining 1st MCB survivors being recalled to this battle space. Together again, they worked with the newly formed units and managed to defeat the Krethan Warhouse. Once this conflict was over, those who fought in the Second Tevarin War had accumulated enough engagements on their combat records, to fast track their discharge. Now no longer military personnel, our 1st MCB survivors decided to use their experience and expertise to form a new family. One that could bypass the political red tape and make sure no one is left behind again. The name Original Sin was chosen as a remembrance to never trust those who don’t fight by your side. In a time of war, you can only count on your brothers and sisters at your side.
