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. 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. At a PMC Trust base, an officer gives Ali a custom Enact so that he can capture the Gundams.
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. 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. Tieria's GN-005 Gundam Virtue uses its GN Bazooka to vaporize a large number of Hellion Ground Types. 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. 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. The Exia suddenly comes under attack from Ali's Enact, but the latter retreats when the Dynames intervenes. Ali then returned to his team of Hellion Ground Types who were hiding in the canyons as per his instructions.
Later, a Moralian military commander is informed that they have lost about half their combat force in just two hours. The Gundams emerged from the ravine and destroy all the mobile suits defending the Moralian military headquarters. After a tense moment, the Moralians fired a white flare to signal their surrender. After the fighting, Moralia received economic aids and reconstruction assistances from AEU, which hoped it could now take in the country. The PMC Trust was later disbanded by the United Nations Forces in preparation for the formation of the Earth Sphere Federation.
