Southern Apollonia Logistics & Security Group

The Southern Apollonia Logistics & Security Group (SALSG) is a private military company (PMC) based in Saint Andre, Natopia, specializing in logistics coordination, security consulting, and paramilitary support across southern Apollonia. Established in 1743 AN, the firm is staffed primarily by retired officers from the Federal Forces of Nouvelle Alexandrie and the Natopian Defense Force, drawing on their extensive experience in regional operations. The group maintains a low public profile but is a registered entity with the Natopian government and holds multiple long-term service contracts with private and government clients.

The Board of Directors, still comprising many of the group's discrete founders, was bought out by the Honourable Company in 1748 AN, following a credit swap agreement brokered by the Society for Benevolent Investment.
