Darkwater Inc is one of the largest private military forces to ever exist and their headquarters situated in this system. 'Keeping watch and keeping you safe.'
— In-Game Description
Summerland is an Imperial system in the Core Systems within the Inner Orion Spur. It was the headquarters of the defunct private military corporation Darkwater Inc. Access to Summerland is restricted, and requires a permit that can only be obtained by achieving the Imperial Navy rank of Baron.
In February 3308, the Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit discovered that Darkwater Inc was not only responsible for training the Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army terrorist group, but it had been holding Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval captive in a hidden bunker in Summerland on behalf of a client, the Lords of Restoration. The Imperial Guard assaulted Summerland on February 9, 3308 and successfully recovered the Emperor before she could be moved to another location.[1] Expecting further hostilities, Colonel Ronan Brock attempted a takeover of Summerland to fortify Darkwater Inc's position, but was unsuccessful, and the corporation was branded a criminal enterprise by the ruling Summerland Patron's Party faction. On February 17, the Empire declared Darkwater Inc a hostile military target and arranged for Summerland's permit restrictions to be lifted for three weeks to allow independent pilots to assist in the eradication campaign.[2] When the Battle of Summerland concluded on February 24, the Empire established a new faction to rule the system, The Praetorian Vigil, and allowed it to take possession of Onyx Storm, Darkwater's former flagship.[3]
