Mercenaries in T2K: Thoughts and Questions

[jester]

The role of mercs on the frontlines would be very useful!


In areas where a truce has been enacted, but the enemy is still the enemy, and more importantly trade or resources. So, all manner of dirty tricks and black ops could be done against one side or the other. And they would employ mercs since they are easily denied.

This could also be done to help destabilize new governments or just to combat them in guerilla war, raids, or whatever their method is to do them damage, keep them off balance and to undermine their ability to effectively control a region thus tipping the scale out of their balance.

And then we also have other blackbag operations like kidnapping, political assasinations, espianage, bribery and sabotauge.

And if the troops are proffessional whcih they would have to be to cary out some of those missions they can not be from the neighboring community for fear of opening up open warefare once more which could destroy all in the region as things escalate. But, troops who are trained, proffessional and not directly traceable to you are an asset.
