The Bounty Hunters Guild Core originally rose as an elite group of Bounty Hunters working as an extension for The Bounty Hunters Guild within the Omicrons. For further information on The BHG Core, follow this link.

After the battle of Toledo in 819 AS, losses were suffered on both sides. It was evident that The BHG Core was unable to recuperate from their terrible loses and their organizational structure within The Core was failing. The financial support from the House Hunters was failing and was starting to become infeasible for The Core. APM soon began to find problems themselves, without having a strong source of income they had difficulty producing ships and equipment for The Core and The Bounty Hunters Guild. Fortunately, The BHG had enough wealth to ensure their own survival, as well as lease some blueprints of the ships APM produced to Libertonian and Bretonian Shipbuilders so that they still had vessels to hunt in. Slowly, it started to seem that The Core itself was an expendable part of the Bounty Hunters Guild. The Bounty Hunters Guild soon started to consider cutting off all support to The Core and pulling The Core out of the Edgeworlds. The Core found itself without a purpose, and thus labelled itself as a Private Military Company under the guise of the newly appointed 'Guildmaster' Erik Nodtviet.

However, in 821 AS, a large proportion of The Core's assets were bought by a mysterious Contractor. The Contractor provided all the funding required for The Core to resume it's goals and objectives, as The Contractor also had similar goals and objectives to the original Core. Soon, The Core was rearmed with all the necessary equipment and ships it required, and it set off to complete it's goals. Strangely, AP Manufacturing had also began producing ships and equipment again. It had become apparent that APM had regain it's lost wealth and had resumed being a healthy corporation. On top of that, APM had now hired The Core as it's own private military company operating within the Omicrons.

However, much darker and mysterious forces are at play here.

In actuality, The Core functions as the military arm for the mysterious shadow organization known as Ouroboros. The only personnel that knows of Ouroboros presence are the higher ups of the Core an AP Manufacturing.
