The rumors of Vicore and Giovanni De la Sangre's links to the Word of Blake gathered strength in late 3065 when Blakist Precentor Martial Cameron St. Jamais asked Vicore's design teams to Terra to assist in bolstering and enhancing Terran production capacity to help in the expansion of the Word of Blake Militia. Aside from remodeling production lines to produce the Project Phoenix 'Mechs, Vicore also developed upgrades for the Grim Reaper [1] and Phoenix-ized redesigns of the Nexus, Raijin and Grand Crusader. [2] In 3066 Vicore reached a licensing agreement with Brooks, Inc. to produce the Galleon tank from a newly refurbished factory on Terra for the Blakist Militia. [3]
When the Jihad burst into open warfare, the fact that almost two-thirds of all Phoenix machines built by all parties had been purchased by the Blakists or parties allied to them lead many more people to question Vicore's intentions, but Vicore and Sangre both professed to be a truly neutral supplier and continued to sell to all comers. Despite Sangre's hopes of Vicore one day becoming one of the top interstellar conglomerates, in 3075 the former ComStar ROM agent "Damocles" finally publicly revealed his decades long investigations of Project Phoenix and evidence that many of Vicore's secondary corporations are little more than Blakist fronts to secretly resupply the Word of Blake Protectorate Militia. While strictly legal, the revelations turned public opinion against Vicore, resulting it being removed from many prominent stock exchanges and triggering formal investigations. [4]
