Contract Type: Riot Duty
Mercenaries are frequently hired for riot duty, the suppression of a smoldering or active rebellion on a world under the employer's control. The duty is unglamorous, very difficult and dangerous, but, like garrison and security duty, it does not pay well. Although few rebels can stand up to high-tech mercenaries in battle, the threat of terrorism and general insurgency fills a merc's every hour with danger. Employers usually stipulate that mercs are to do the least possible damage to targets of strategic or economic value, complicating the mercenaries position. In addition, an employer might unleash mercenaries on a rebellious planet while keeping House units clear not only of violence, but of all involvement. After the mercenaries quell the riot, the employer steps in, blames the mercenaries for exceeding their authority, and so becomes a savior rather than an oppressor. Meanwhile the mercenaries are sent packing in disgrace.
