Standard Security Corporation

"The Standard Security Corporation (SSC) provides security and law enforcement to cities and corporations worldwide. After a brief training course, SSC guards are ready for deployment anywhere, anytime."

- Deus Ex: Invisible War description, 2072

The Standard Security Corporation (SSC) is a private security company that was created after the Collapse.

History
It was created by Vera Maxwell after 2052, on the advice of her mother Stephanie Maxwell, a member of X-51. The key factor was her mother's complaint about not having any militia during the attack of Majestic-12 on Vandenberg.

They can be hired by anyone at anytime, no matter the person's record; this also applies to their hiring policies. SSC forces make up the backbone of police forces in many cities, and usually have their own offices that deal with issues that pre-Collapse police would deal with (such as reporting crimes). In many ways, the SSC fits with the Illuminati's plans to centralize everything, although it is unknown if this is a coincidence or not.

The only view of SSC in 2072 seems to be negative, as the soldiers' training seem to be limited.

SSC Troops
SSC Troops are usually armed with pistols and shotguns, though SSC troops from Cairo will occasionally be equipped with SMGs.

Like all humanoid enemies, SSC Troops are given a grenade (either a Concussion or EMP) and will throw it at the start of a battle. While effective against unarmored Knights Templar, they will be torn to shreds if they try to fight an Illuminati Elite Trooper or an Paladin.
