Palisade Security

Palisade

The corporate security firm hunting Murderbot, which supplies GrayCris the armored SecUnit that dies in Mensah's rescue.

Story so far

Palisade, the expensive corporate security company that first hunted Murderbot on HaveRatton Station, keeps a large office on TranRollinHyfa and caters only to corporate clients. Though it does not publicly advertise SecUnit rentals, GrayCris fields an armored Palisade SecUnit—logo on its chest, proprietary armor, no drones—as the primary muscle escorting the captive Dr. Mensah. In the rescue, Murderbot destroys that unit at point-blank range with armor-piercing rounds to the neck and knee joints, confirming Palisade is materially in GrayCris's service.

It remains a standing threat: a well-funded firm with reach across multiple stations and access to combat-capable SecUnits.

Appearance

A corporate force represented by power-suited operatives and an armored, unbranded-drone SecUnit in proprietary armor bearing the Palisade chest logo.

Role

Corporate security antagonist; supplier of GrayCris's SecUnit muscle.

Relationships
