PHIA Phorce

This article is about the prime universe PHIA Phorce. For Universe PH-323 counterpart, see PHIA Phorce (Universe PH-323).

The PHIA Phorce is a mercenary group operating mostly within Port Oraulan and nearby areas. Using Mimi's Milkshakes as a base, they help those in need in exchange for a modest price. While the group did not officially receive a name until 2022 AB, it has its origins as far back as 2020 AB when Sophia Delphi, Angela Harrison, Kristoph Langusten and Joshua Harrison found themselves involved with the rescue of a virtual life form named Twinkle from a cybernephrine dealer known as the Cult of Kronos.
