Renaming!
🕑 Added 2025-02-12 22:35:11 +0000 UTCI will be renaming Cooper's PMC, as extensively discussed in the discord, but I wanted to drop a poll here as well since I know many aren't in the discord. I'll be filtering the options from the discord poll (there were simply a lot) and bring you all the most viable ones. I'd like to honor democracy but tbh I have my favorite. Still, I will listen to the wants of my people. It's not everyday that I open something like this up for public decision :)
The poll closes at 1AM PST, about 10.5 hours from the release of this post. Select the option you think would be best/coolest for the PMC/Paramilitary as a whole, the one manning the Glass Desert, and also feel free to drop suggestions in the comments. You may want to consider what sounds best in:
"Welcome to '----------'"

Alternatively the us 13th Armored Division had the nickname "Black Cat" which could work by having Daywisp the Owlkat be the mascot
Haiden Mclean
The Devil's Brigade could work, it was the first US special forces unit. It was also known as the First Special Service Force (FSSF)
Rachel McPhee
Spade i am wondering when you are releasing more of your American series you are doing 👍
Lee
I mean it was a opportunity for you to be funny or maybe share some history since I know jack shit about pazer but you just got defensive. Why so sensitive man.
Vash
I’m partial to outer heaven. PMC core with the power to topple governments and ideals to challenge politicians. Sounds like a certain snake.
Ethan
With respect, after what happened with the real blackwater, that may not be a great option
john Vargas
Iron legion makes the most sense.
Panzer73
Does that threaten you somehow or do you just like being a dick
ForsakenChief
This is an underrated comment
J.R. Turner
The counter intel unit would be Shadow company.
Aizen Weeks
Will probably be the name of his soul gem collection machine
Aizen Weeks
I was surprised he called his R&D base Wonderland. Expected Area 51 or Manhattan
Aizen Weeks
Iron Legion is the most Texan of the options I think. I will say he better make a proper Star fort, or bastion fort as they are called. Proper for gun emplacements and distance observation. Bring in the magic Howitzers rain hellfire!!
Ayman EL-Agabani
I like Iron legion for the PMC, I can see where your going with John compartmentalising the sovereign to another team like THREAT CORE for the special forces. 👍🏾
Druid
I had to go with Iron Legion because it make me think of the Charr from GW2.
IdolTrust
I’m surprised it would be called pentagon because I would expect his friends and him to hit max tier and they would be the five corners of the world’s power.
JollyRodger
Definitely iron legion. It has a Warhammer feel to the name and would be a inside joke for john
J.R. Turner
and the special forces division would be the Grime Reapers.
J.R. Turner
After a few hours to think about it, maybe Area 51? Or Independence?
Travis Freeman
Reapers
Sam
With cooper's mind fortress and his mechanized troops iron legion just makes sense
Al
An American from TX making his last stand in a new world? It has to be the Alamo.
Cristian Valencia
Fort FaFo
shes got the jack
I vote big red one then he can steal some their nicknames too. :)
ForsakenChief
When almost becomes a tactical success 🤣🤣🤣🤣 i love it
ForsakenChief
Then it's more roman than american... that doesn't really line up with Johns sensibilities.
ForsakenChief
So they're still active. A name change means nothing to me. That said tho, Iron Legion just sounds better considering John's methods, IMO.
Roman Koziol
Eminent Domain is BS. Should be illegal, lol. Anything but that.
Lee
…. Panzer wants a Panzer Corps go figure
Lee
So I chose Iron Legion by black water is no longer active. They changed their name after that false charges were accused and dropped but put a bad name about them.
Travis Freeman
The big D
D375
Eminent Domain seems weird considering John's aversion to taxes. I'd think that would transfer to the government taking people's land for pennies on the dollar as well.
Lynn Hollinger
Personally I'm happy with what you already named them, Spade. That being said I'll still vote based on the options given. Also, what's the Discord exactly? I never knew there was one.
Raganash
Shadow Wizard MONEY Gang
Scat Splat
The Onerous Collective . . . The 409 also sounds catchy - the cleaner not the area code. Not sure if it fits the mood though. The Iron Legion is nice and American. Gotta put a blood iron brigade/company in there at some point, if so. Guns and meat - equally American
Robert J Leeds
You could use shadow company for his personal scout/spy unit
Chance Wells
Okay. I made sure no one’s commented this, but the Arctic Angels would be a good one
SMH Ace of Spades
The Composters is one of myFAV 😉😉
johnathan stewart
Should go with an American armored division, old ironside, hell on wheels, thundering herd.
J.R. Turner
I would have suggested Iron Shield. But we are only voting foe the options offered. Or maybe Ghost Riders?
ColcytusRising
And outer heaven was made by an American who was the best at what he did, wage war, alone or with allies. Big boss was literally a one man army, makes sense in my opinion.
ColcytusRising
Aw but outer heaven? It's literally a classic
William Langford
Steel Fist?
Captain Greenhat
Iron legion bc it fits and bc the locals would understand and like it. Eminent domain is great bc america and the fact he is about to take over everything so it really really fits from us the readers prospective but i ended up voting for the former.
307Bookworm_AOB
it definately has rich American Military history
Sean Quinn
Horseshoes and Hand grenades Brigade, because we don't have to be THAT accurate with these weapons.
Gerald Morris
You gotta name a fob this
Gerald Morris
Eminent domain is hilarious
Seraphim
What is your favorite spade?
Travis Freeman
Delta Corp
Sp4de
That was an operation name tho. Plus I like Euclids Anvil for the first operation :)
Adam Cassidy
Legion X Stars & Strikes Shadlow Division
Raymond Mouton
Maybe just drop the “Iron” from “Iron Legion” and just go with: “The Legion”…
Nick
Come on how is Desert Storm not an option!?
Travis Freeman
The Undesirables lol add a little dig at the kingdom.
307Bookworm_AOB
Old Ironside or Ironside would be my choice. Old Ironside was the name of a US Navy frigate back in the 1800's and was the name of the Artillery unit, 1st Division my dad was in back in US Army during the 70's. Maintains the Iron theme, its American based and actually refers to artillery/tanks.
brent butter
I think most of these names are quite common and somewhat overused, but I liked Eminent Domain. However, it looks like it's going to lose the poll. Iron Legion feels extremely cliché and overdone, but if it wins, that's democracy.
Just a dude here to read Spades works
Sector one bro with cooper's mechanized mind it just makes sense canonically
Ryan Gannon
Maybe doves revenge or nonnens revenge
ForsakenChief
Iron Legion goes HARD! That's my vote. Blackwater is a real and currently active military contractor I think so may be best to avoid it.
Krilko
Iron Legion and Blackwater are insanely hard. Shadow Company seems too edgy and not on theme enough.
aerolyte
And black water and Shadow Company have a bad rap
LolGamez
Gotta be between Blackwater and Outer Heaven for me, though Iron Legion and Sector 1 are close
aerolyte
None of these names sound American Enough
Grant Mikelson
I like the sound of Eminent Domain, but Iron Legion goes hard af
Lee
Given that it looks to be a armored battalion Iron sounds good
Panzer73
Maybe 1st Panzer Corps
