The corporation known as Zarbomba operate extensively across the desertified world of Aaru IV, working most often as security forces or mercenaries with a hand in many of the most lucrative security contracts on the planet.

Publicly listed as a weapons research and development outfit, Zarbomba are known to work frequently with Industrial Automaton on the planet, though it is not known to what extent the two corporations are directly linked, or whether IA simply procure Zarbomba’s services with some frequency. Either way, Zarbomba maintain a mercenary division which acts essentially as a standing army, many of whose units are often observed in and around the facilities which IA operate on the planet.

One of the factors which make Zarbomba one of the more recognisable outfits in Mos Klarius particularly is their distinctive armour. Each soldier outwardly marked as a member of the group wears some form of armour which is green—usually a dark green, though it is occasionally khaki or even brighter lime—with some kind of orange or ochre, or deeper scarlet red insignia. The most common of these is a large red circle on the chest, though markings may run across pauldrons or around the waist.

The distinctiveness of the armour colouring sets Zarbomba apart among many of the criminal outfits in that they are visible and clearly marked. Most Zarbomba operatives are ex-military—usually Imperial, but not always—and are frequently heavily armed, armoured, and well-trained. As for their actual research and development, little is known of their facilities or locations beyond the fact that the corporation claims that such activities are its primary output. The far more common, and obvious, purpose of the corporation is in security—as some might say, both the protection and acquisitions rackets.
