Contract Types

Combat Campaign

Units given this class of mission will undertake either Offensive or Defensive Campaigns. These are considered a standard type of mission, with moderate length, hazard and numeration.

Offensive Campaign

Taking up where a planetary assault leaves off, an offensive campaign is an attack against hostile forces on a contested planet. Sometimes this sort of attack develops directly from a planetary assault, but it usually involves additional troops reinforcing or replacing those in the first landings. In some cases, a planet's defenders declare an offensive campaign against enemies who occupy a portion of the planet. Not quite as lucrative (or risky) as a planetary assault, this kind of campaign still pays well. As with it's defensive counterpart, it is sometimes marred by the excessive dependence of mercenary elements on outsiders who can let them down.

Defensive Campaign

An employer begins a defensive campaign when he discovers enemy intentions to invade or escalate hostilities on a world. Mercenaries and household troops are deployed to stiffen resistance against the assault. As active fighting is likely, pay is fairly good, but mercenaries often find themselves faced with too much employer interference in their operations. The unit runs the risk of being cut off or overrun if the attacker proves successful and the mercenaries must rely heavily on people they do not know and cannot control.
