PN

PN was the USE Dark Star Bureau's private espionage force. Organized under the direct command of the bureau's supreme court director, Gallerian Marlon, PN eliminated numerous targets in the interest of its master, each agent operating in secret under a codename.

Foundation
PN was established by USE Dark Star Bureau Supreme Court Director Gallerian Marlon some time after EC 978. Under the codename of "First Santa Claus", the Master of the Court recruited members into the organization to act as an espionage force of assassins for the bureau, delegating orders through his personal aide, Bruno Zero. The organization eventually reached seven members.

Dark Star Scandal
After being convicted by Gallerian of criminal offenses, Nemesis Sudou was recruited as "No. 8" in exchange for exemption from the death penalty. As the years progressed, the organization continued to maintain success with assassinations. Around December of EC 982, No. 8 was discovered to be harboring the fugitive Second Lieutenant Nyoze Octo.

Shortly after, First Santa Claus ordered 8 to assassinate the man and she fulfilled her mission before making a suicide attempt. After the Leviantan Civil War broke out in August, EC 983, No. 8 confronted First Santa Claus in his home after it was set on fire, demanding he return the fortune he stole to the people in exchange for his life. The corrupt judge refused the deal and Nemesis shot him, killing the judge and collapsing PN as a result.

Aftermath
Following the civil war, Gallerian became blacklisted in the Dark Star Bureau's history and his practices within the organization were condomened by later generations. Nemesis was jailed for some time before being freed on amnesty and becoming a key member in the Tasan Party in Elphegort. The former PN member later became dictator of the Green Country a decade since PN's disbandment.
