The Sterling Company is a private peacekeeping force founded by Bertram Graywater on Thunder Junction.[1][2]
Description
The Sterling Company believes that money and political hierarchy is the the best way to bring order to the chaos of Thunder Junction. Though they wrote the plane's laws, the only law that truly matters to the company is "never stand in the way of profit."[3] Anyone who doesn't conform to this belief is met with banishment.[4] The company provides guards to anyone willing to pay and is known to pay their mercenaries well.[5] Ral Zarek hired the company to protect his efforts to create communication lines across the Omenpaths.[5]
The headquarters of the Sterling Company are located on the edge of the city of Prosperity.[1] A metal fence surrounds the headquarters, flickering with bright blue energy. Within, huge white pillars hold up the staggeringly high glass ceiling. The front desk is made of solid white marble and surrounded by large pots of manicured cacti. There are multiple stairwells leading to various levels of the building, including a jail kept in the basement. The Sterling Company uses illusions as a security measure, making the cells appear empty.
Members of the Sterling Company tend to wear clothes in white, gray, or silver, with silver filigree adornments.
