Contract Types

Minor Raid

This category includes both Recon and Objective Raids, which tend to be short and dangerous (though not as much as a Major Raid). They offer higher rates of pay than less strenuous duties.

Recon Raid

There are several distinct missions that fall into the category of raiding, all offering a high-risk/high-gain potential that some mercenaries love and others loathe. Recon raids are fairly straight forward operations in which a small unit make an assault on a planet to test local defences and to collect information for later strikes. As in a planetary assault, raiders travel from space to a planet's surface, but the same force is expected to carry out its mission and then withdraw without further support. As recon raids are normally launched at fairly unsuspecting targets, they are less dangerous than other types of raids. Nonetheless, they are considered hazardous duty.
Like all raids, recon attacks are high-pay jobs. Because small units are used, mercenaries are rarely forced to co-operate heavily with employer forces, which is a major benefit. However the chance of running up against heavy opposition or being cut off from transport ships makes the recon raid a chancy mission that many mercenaries would rather pass up.

Objective Raid

An objective raid is a limited attack to capture or destroy a specific target: a supply depot or convoy, a scientist or political leader, a specific installation, and son on. It shares many of the characteristics of a recon raid, except that it is generally carried out against heavier or better organised opposition: a target worth raiding is usually worth guarding too.
The raids pay well and provide a wide degree of latitude for individual command and initiative. Like any raid, however, they are high-risk affairs that can be very costly to the troops involved.
