Company Profile:
A new but powerful company that built its wealth by trading both military and civilian supplies during the chaos in Europe. Several years ago they were just a small company that made a small bit of money by trading scrap metal and simple electronic parts, but after the new owner took over, they quickly expanded their operations to many different markets. Military supplies that ranges from small things such as bullets and Kevlar armor, to large items such as Mobile Suit armament and mobile units. They also seem to sell large amount of valuable goods such as jewelries and artwork, but they keep their supplies a secret, which makes many others think that they have a strong influence on the black market.
You would have think that a large company like this would be a target for pirates, but strangely they rarely if ever experience raider attacks. Their strong team of mercenaries might be one factor, while others claim that pirates don't even try to attack the caravans from the Jade Dragon, and would even run away on sight even faster than if the Ys State army are coming. After a long period of gathering information, some pirates say that the reason for this is that if they do touch these caravans, then "A storm will come". The most likely explanation would be that the Jade Dragon have hired the Crimson Storm to protect their caravans, but is that the only reason?

Name: Ruby Zhang Age: 23 Place of Origin: Asia Type: Earthnoid Occupation: Owner of Jade Dragon Merchant [Non-combatant] Bio: Ruby was born as one of the children in a small merchant family, and as she was growing up, she shows that she has more than enough talent to run this small company of her family. This draws some attention, and not all of them are welcoming. Her older brothers are worried that when she gets older, she'll take over their place as the successor of the company, so a few of them plot to stop her from doing so. One of the plans is to merry her off to a Ys State governor, not only will this prevent Ruby from taking over the company, but this would also improve relations with a wealthy customer, and not exactly harmful to their sister. Being female and the youngest in her family, she had little choice but to follow the orders of her father and siblings, so she gets sent off with a truck of cargo along with a few servants to go with her. Even before the chaos had started this was pretty dangerous, so the governor sent a few JMS over to protect her... which created a major problem. Having the few Ys State units with Ruby means that she's allied or at least friendly with the Ys State, and a certain pirate did not like that. The Crimson Storm happened to be in the area, and charged in to destroy this small band of units. At the time, the Crimson Storm only had a single AT and a lightly armed truck, but that was more than enough. James charge into the area and destroyed all of the JMS that were guarding the truck, and took all of the remaining personals as his spoils, this includes Ruby herself. Ruby was a charming young woman, enough to catch James' eyes, so that's more than enough reason to keep her in the ship instead of selling her off like the other prisoners. But other than her beauty and figures, another part of her catches his eyes, and that's her ability as a merchant. So they had a deal, Ruby would be able to gain the opportunity to do as she wishes without the restrains of her former family, while James would be able to find a way to gain support in forms of supplies and units. With the Crimson Storm providing looted goods, attacking threatening competitors, the Jade Dragon was able to take a large part of the European market. As the Jade Dragon grew larger, they were able to provide the Crimson Storm with more and more support, this virtuous cycle became one of the reason of why the Crimson Storm could stand up to the military might of an entire nation. Not only did the Crimson Storm robbed the Ys State, the loots were sold right back at them for cash that are used to strengthen the pirate band into their status today. Now that the Crimson Storm have expanded their influence, so have the Jade Dragon. They now makes deals with Avalon, the African nations, NAU, and even as far as the Qing Empire. Some of them guessed the relations between the Crimson Storm and the Jade Dragon, but they have no proof... any proof would have been wiped out by the Crimson Storm. While others ignore that small fact, after all a strong company would make it a lot easier to obtain necessary supplies and help improve the economy. So even in this chaotic state during the great war, the Jade Dragon were able to move freely, and feed on the stored riches of the world.
