The Bank of Efate found itself having issues with loans to local businesses - especially start ups - defaulting due to Ine Givar attacks. The bank would loan out money, the new company would build various facilities... which would then burn down in the middle of the night. While the insurance would usually cover it, insuring these loans came at higher and higher prices. By late 1106/early 1107, the BOE would often self-insure, but in these cases would hire guards to protect the capital investment from IG set fires. By mid-1107, the BOE had realized it was more cost effective to hire small merc units to preemptively hunt down and "terminally dissuade IG kinetic business practices." At this point, however, the 3I had snapped up most available merc units as part of the Provisional Army based on Efate, and the BOE was left to hiring small groups of "Gentlesophont Adventurers" to service this role.
