Freelancer Mercenaries
You're part of a group of ex-colonists who decided that colonist life was too boring, so the obvious choice was to band together and become guns for hire.
You have no obligations to anyone, and your only goal is to make as much money as possible. You MAY assist the Marines in their defense of the UNS Almayer if the commanding officer pays you.
Anything else? Well, that's up to you.
Overview
Well, well, well. Decided to go freelance, huh? Tough business. You’re up against two mercenary giants—Weston Yamada’s corporate-backed war dogs and VAIPO’s elite ex-marine operatives.
No cushy contracts, no top-tier gear, no endless supply chains to fall back on. You don’t get the luxury of WeYa’s cutting-edge tech or VAIPO’s tactical intelligence network. Out here, you’re scraping by with what you can scavenge, steal, or buy with hard-earned blood money.
But that’s the trade-off, isn’t it? No masters, no corporate leash. Just you, your crew (if you trust ‘em), and the next contract. Make it big, and you’ll be the stuff of legends. Screw up, and you’ll be another nameless corpse in some far off morgue on a distant backwater planet.
Objectives
As a Freelancer, your main objective is simple—make money. Loyalty? That’s just a word people throw around when they can afford it. You fight for whoever pays best, whether it’s the Marines aboard the UNS Almayer or someone willing to pay even more to see that ship burn.
If the Almayer wants your help, they’d better be ready to pay a hefty sum. Risking your life to defend their ship isn’t charity—it’s business. But if another buyer comes knocking with deeper pockets and a grudge against the Marines? Well, that’s just another contract.
