Battletech-Mercenaries: Database Contracting Type

Contract Type: Espionage

The first step into any black market contract. Espionage requires the mercenary command to infiltrate by any means the targeted objective and observe any relevant information that will be used at a later date. The mercenary command is usually tasked with keeping their involvement secret in order to prevent the compromise of further operations. It's a known fact that the compromise of any black market contract will effectively kill any further operation and the mercenary command will be left with no support what so ever. Because of this many commands prefer to disguise themselves as pirate groups in order to keep their identity secret in case of discovery. As with all black market contracts command rights are always in favor of the mercenary command as is salvage at the cost of any official or unofficial support from the employer.
