Contract Type: 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.
