Paxton Arms

Peace River is the home of Paxton Arms, a global conglomerate that produces literally anything one can think of, be it food, clothes, weapons, tanks, aircraft, or toothbrushes. The company started when an enterprising businessman bought a rundown oasis tower and transformed it into a mining powerhouse which quickly found itself diversifying its portfolio.

Opening into the weapons market, Paxton quickly became the leading independent arms manufacturer on Terra Nova, selling to both polar leagues and rigidly enforcing its neutrality. Now, Paxton Arms sells a wide array of everyday products alongside weapons and mining operations, transforming the once small oasis tower into a fully-fledged city-state.

With Peace River’s success, came the never-ending battle to maintain it. Rovers, polar military units, and local unrest threatened the settlements, cities and townships that served Paxton as resource hubs and housing. These threats to the company prompted Paxton to build a growing military force to maintain the peace and establish the Peace River Protectorate, defended and enforced by the Peace Officer Corps (POC).

Paxton remained rigidly neutral through almost every major conflict to ensure its corporate interests, and market itself as the “spirit of independence”. Paxton repeatedly sees its profits skyrocket in the postwar reconstruction eras and rearmament phases across Terra Nova.
