The Vektan Security Agency ("VSA" for short) is the intelligence branch of the Interplanetary Strategic Alliance, serving as one of the two main antagonists (alongside the Interplanetary Strategic Alliance) of Killzone Shadow Fall.
While the VSA is a protagonist faction in the game for the first nine chapters of the game, it is under the corrupt authority of its director Thomas Sinclair, whose intention is to restart the Helghast-Vektan War in order to wipe out the Helghasts permanently in Vekta, with the intent of taking over the eastern half of The Wall and all of Vekta.
History[]
Past[]
The VSA was established when the surviving Helghasts began to colonize eastern Vekta and established New Helghan as the end of the Second Extrasolar War. The VSA was eventually put under the control of Thomas Sinclair as the organization's Director, but he was corrupt, xenophobic, and wanted to wage war against the remaining Helghast. Over the next few years, the VSA would become more active as tensions between the Vektans and the Helghasts began to grow and get worse and worse over time.
Events of Shadow Fall[]
During the events of Killzone Shadow Fall, the VSA becomes more active in terms of surveillance and espionage against New Helghan as tensions rose and the fanatical Black Hand organization, led by New Helghan terrorist Vladko Tyran, began to wreak havoc all over the planet. VSA operatives were stationed all over Vekta and Sinclair had campaigned for war against the Helghast.
The VSA becomes an antagonist faction at the end of the game after Maya Visari (under Lucas' name), under Anton Saric's assistance, breaks into Vektan territory and assassinates Sinclair to avenge Lucas who was branded a traitor and killed and to prevent a war between the two sides.
War was prevented after Sinclair was killed however, but is unknown what happened afterwards. However, it is assumed that the VSA got a new Director and was less corrupt leading to the organization's redemption.
Structure[]
Not much is known about the VSA other than that is a secret intelligence agency and most likely has various bosses and is head by the Director of the Agency. The VSA also has its own paramilitary forces called Shadow Marshals are seen in the game. The Shadow Marshals are the main military force behind the VSA and are most likely stationed in Vekta for security and in Helghast Territory for infiltration and spying.
