When Trier geared up for the Order-WTO summit, Vera Maxwell personally took control of setting up security for the event. In an interview with the World News Network, she stated that she would be flying to Trier to ensure that everything goes according to plan.
Description[]
“
As head of the Standard Security Corporation, Commander Maxwell works with numerous businesses and organizations to provide affordable protection in a world that lacks a traditional police force. Her company’s clients include the Order, WTO, weapons manufacturers, clandestine laboratories, and even smugglers, so to survive in her role she has to be a political agnostic. Her only concern is stability. Overt raids and terrorist acts cost her company lives and a great deal of money.
With conflicts between the nascent world powers heating up, her firm has increasingly found itself caught in the middle. Her guards, minimally trained and often suffering from a rent-a-cop mentality, are called upon to be peacekeepers, paramilitaries and soldiers. The strain is considerable, and with several world powers establishing armies of their own, the future of Standard Security remains unclear.
Vera Maxwell shares the same surname as X-51 scientist Stephanie Maxwell. In Deus Ex, Stephanie can be seen standing up to an MJ12 trooper and speaking the line "This is what we get for not having a militia." However, no explicit connection between the two is mentioned in Invisible War.
