X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.2 PL16] |* How much would one have to pay for employing a mercinary unit over a |* long or short periode. What would it be for a Special Force Commando |* Group what would a "nice price" be, single assignment or many. The gating criteria here is: 1) What size unit? 2) Equipped to what TL? 3) How much support does their employer intend to supply? 4) What is the mission? ... and not necessarily in the order of priority. Also, is this a success only ticket? A merc unit that one of my players (the unit has since become a corporation and are used as NPC's in my campaigns) was involved in actually performed a ticket for "free". A merchant concern got tired of its ships being hijacked by a band of pirates. Since they (the merchants) knew where they (the pirates) were, they were quite miffed when the Imperial Navy wouldn't supply any forces to crush the pirates. Enter Armageddon Industries, a merc unit that was definitely making a name for themselves. The deal struck? Armageddon Industries supplied a company sized assault force. The merchant company would supply ships as needed to transport and land the force at the pirate's base (a large moon orbiting a gas giant) as well as provide transport for the extraction. Armageddon Industries would be allowed to "capture" as much booty as they could find at the pirate base as well as being entitled to any reward monies as would be paid by Imperial authorities for the capture of said pirates. It turned out to be very profitable for the mercs. - -- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |Peter L.
