- “The 501st Corporation is the last hope that the worlds has to combating the effects of the NAKA Virus. Across the world in parts that aren't overrun by Infected, we have hundreds, maybe millions of survivors who depend on us. We are no longer a PMC; we are now an official armed forces whose mission is to protect the people and ensure humanity's survival.”
- ―Haley Marcy Rose[src]
The 501st Corporation was founded as a private military corporation by James Johnson. On January 14th, 2017, the corporation signed on as the official replacement for the dissolved United States Armed Forces with the remaining Joint Chiefs as chief military advisers.
The corporation fought against the remaining forces of the Shadows of Darkness which started on August 22nd, 2017 and lasted only seven days, ending on August 29th. Afterwards, the corporation continued to cleanse the Infected from the world. However on September 14th, 2017, the remnants of the Hive Empire had awakened due to the death of Kevin, who was, in fact, the Dark Lord of the Shadows which caused the Hive to attack the 501st Corporation, resulting in another war.
The Hive became larger and powerful in the span of one week, pushing back 501st forces which eventually caused James Johnson to relocate most of his forces to the 501st Federal Korean HQ. However during his trip to Federal Korea, the private jet carrying Johnson and the Joint Chiefs was attacked and destroyed by Hive Nevermore, effectively making Henry Knight the de facto leader as he was the last military officer in the world holding the rank of General, and was a member within the Corporation's security forces.
