Description
Better known as private security forces, they consisted of private military forces that were under the command of mega-corporations and commercial consortiums within the Republic. Highly trained and equipped with state-of-the-art and experimental equipment, they could rival elite Republic forces.
The word mercenary was rarely used since it had a highly negative connotation among the population of the Republic, this was due to the fact that during the Age of Pacification it was mercenaries and private contractors who dealt the hardest blows to the insurgent army and organized the worst remembered massacres .
The Republic had a highly restrictive policy towards these private military bodies during the First Age of Prosperity, but by the 22nd century, with the rise of mega-corporations desirous of having private security, these policies were eased and by the end of the Second Age of Prosperity There were even companies dedicated to the training and instruction of mercenaries.
The mercenary business also benefited the arms industry, as the market expanded greatly and both the Republic and the arms industry benefited from the war equipment trade.
During the war, their main role was to ensure the interests of the mega-corporations in the conflict sites, so they rarely collaborated with the Republic forces and if they did, it was to use them as bait, and they even executed those who stood in their way. The Republic would also deploy its own mercenaries to accomplish more shadowy goals.
