Parabellum International Acquires STAR International

Parabellum International (Parabellum) is pleased to announce its acquisition of STAR International (STAR), a highly respected and leading provider of defence and maritime emergency response capability.

This strategic acquisition significantly enhances Parabellum’s ability to deliver critical risk and emergency response services while strengthening our national capability to support high-compliance, high-risk environments — particularly across the defence, maritime, and industrial sectors.

A Defence-Focused Capability: Supporting Complex Operational Environments

“STAR brings a long-standing reputation of professionalism and capability, especially in the high-risk defence environment. Their values and technical expertise align with Parabellum’s mission to provide world-class critical risk and emergency services,” said Navin Vij, CEO and Managing Director of Parabellum International.

“STAR’s specialist credentials in the defence sector — including its DISP membership — align strongly with our commitment to delivering high-performance outcomes in complex and tightly controlled environments.”

With STAR now operating under the Parabellum banner, clients can expect expanded access to skilled personnel, specialised equipment, and enhanced operational support backed by Parabellum’s national scale and reputation for excellence.

“The acquisition further aligns with Parabellum’s ongoing commitment to Australian sovereign capability, local job creation, and building technical readiness across sectors that matter most to national security and resilience.”

Strategic Alignment. National Capability. Unmatched Readiness.

“I’m incredibly proud of what our team has built — delivering specialist risk and firefighting services across Australia’s most critical defence and maritime environments,” said Derrin Rodriguez, Founder and CEO of STAR.

“Becoming part of Parabellum allows us to elevate those capabilities even further. With Parabellum’s national reach, proven expertise, and operational scale behind us, we are now better equipped than ever to support the complex needs of Australia’s Defence Industry and beyond. I’m pleased to be continuing this journey as Parabellum’s General Manager – Defence Services, and look forward to driving even greater value, innovation, and readiness for our Defence and Maritime clients across the country.”
