Contract Type: 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.
