Mercenary Guild of Coyn

The Mercenary Guild of Coyn is the main Coynite mercenary organization, and it is officially affiliated with the En'Tra. Each noble family is required to contribute a specific number of soldiers for mercenary service, and individuals are allowed to join at their discretion. The Mercenary Guild of Coyn hires out its services to all legal organizations seeking military forces for legal activities. In other words, the mercenary guild may hire out soldiers to serve for the Empire, or to serve for a corporation, but the guild will not hire out soldiers to the Rebel Alliance. As Coyn is with the Empire, it will not risk a full invasion by the Empire- a hopeless fight isn't honorable.

Warriors always have the option of rejecting mercenary missions, but no warrior has ever used this option, since it would result in the loss of honor. All warriors have sworn to defend Coyn and Coyn's interests in the event of attack.

Guild entry fee is 100 credits and annual dues are 50 credits. The Guild gets 15 percent of the mercenary's pay. Weapons and armor can be purchased from the guild at a 10 percent discount.

The Mercenary Guild is a venerable, trustworthy operation with a reputation above reproach. Mercenaries who violate their contracts, flee from a battle, turn on their employer, or otherwise commit treason or show cowardice are branded af'harl (cowardly deceiver, the worst curse to be branded with). In some cases, such as desertion, the guild will send other mercs to hunt down and execute the coward. The Mercenary Guild has offices on Elrood, Torina, Derilyn, and Lanthryn.

The average mercenary is armed with any combination of a blaster pistol or rifle, coynite battle armor, D'skar, the coynite dagger, Sat'skar, the coynite sword, and a Coyn'skar, a staff with a large blade on one end and a disarming hook on the other.
