Contract Types

Invasion

This category denotes operations that require units to move against a world where enemy forces are in control of the approaches and some or all of the surface. It specifically includes Planetary Assaults and Relief Duty. Duty is short but hazardous and well-paying.

Planetary Assault

Sometimes used to indicate almost any kind of offensive activity, the true planetary assault mission is the initial attack to establish a 'planet head' on a world. This involves gaining aerospace superiority, establishing initial drop and landing zones and then building a secure perimeter into which additional forces can be deployed for further campaigns. It is high-risk duty with a commensurably high financial return.

Relief Duty

When unexpected attacks materialize, relief expeditions must move to support local garrison and defensive forces. Sometimes this is fairly simple, but usually it is the equivalent of mounting a whole new planetary assault. The original attacker often controls the approaches to the world and much of the planetary surface. Moreover, relief duty is chancy because there is no way of predicting whether the original defenders will still be in position and putting up a fight when help reaches them.
Mercenaries on relief duty draw good pay, but this sort of mission means close co-ordination with employer troops, leaders, and transport, and those conditions are often major disadvantages.
