The Private Military Company Trust, abbreviated as PMC Trust (ピーエムシー・トラスト Pīemushī Torasuto?), is an alliance of private military companies in Republic of Moralia within Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
Overview[]
Based in the Republic of Moralia, where its activities are beneficial to the local economy. Its collective armed operatives form the functional mercenary equivalent of a standing army, amongst which Ali Al-Saachez serves as a key field officer. Besides mercenary deployment, the company otherwise provided services relating to the training of military personnel and the transport and development of weapons.
History[]
Private military companies make up 20% of the private corporations in Moralia, a country that borders France and founded in A.D. 2284.[1] After Celestial Being begins their armed interventions, the AEU, Moralia, and PMC Trust perform a large joint military exercise, in an attempt to capture a Gundam.[1] At a PMC Trust base, an officer gives Ali a custom Enact so that he can capture the Gundams.[1]
On the day of the exercise, Celestial Being's Gundams appeared as expected. In the skies over Moralia, Allelujah Haptism's GN-003 Gundam Kyrios takes out the air forces.[1] On the ground, Lockon Stratos's GN-002 Gundam Dynames uses its new GN Full Shield to block attacks from a squad of AEU-05G AEU Hellion Ground Type before destroying them with its GN Sniper Rifle and GN Beam Pistol.[1] Tieria's GN-005 Gundam Virtue uses its GN Bazooka to vaporize a large number of Hellion Ground Types.[1] Patrick Colasour's Enact and a group of Hellions then approached the Virtue. The Virute reacted by firing its GN Cannons, destroying the Hellions and grazing Patrick's Enact.[1] Elsewhere on the ground, Setsuna uses the GN-001 Gundam Exia's new GN Long and Short Blades to slice apart a group of Hellion Ground Types.[1] The Exia suddenly comes under attack from Ali's Enact, but the latter retreats when the Dynames intervenes.[2] Ali then returned to his team of Hellion Ground Types who were hiding in the canyons as per his instructions.[2]
Later, a Moralian military commander is informed that they have lost about half their combat force in just two hours.[2] The Gundams emerged from the ravine and destroy all the mobile suits defending the Moralian military headquarters.[2] After a tense moment, the Moralians fired a white flare to signal their surrender.[2] After the fighting, Moralia received economic aids and reconstruction assistances from AEU, which hoped it could now take in the country.[2] The PMC Trust was later disbanded by the United Nations Forces in preparation for the formation of the Earth Sphere Federation.
