Aspis Consortium

Founded as a cutthroat trading enterprise on Golarion before the age of spaceflight, the Aspis Consortium hides its nefarious deeds behind public works, charming spokespeople, and a rosy retelling of its problematic history. This powerful conglomerate of merged companies and subsidiaries has stakes in dozens of industries, but the Consortium earned its political clout by playing a pivotal role during the Swarm War—allowing everyone to forget that only months before, the Consortium was selling weapons to both the Pact Worlds and Veskarium while those powers were embroiled in the Silent War opposing one another. Aspis agents are trained assassins and spies who appear to be well-mannered corporate professionals and reputable specialists, or spin doctors tirelessly scrubbing the group's reputation.
