COMBAT INFORMATION
- Availability: Rare
- Deployment: Minor
- Strengths & Weaknesses:
The Blackwell Security forces are trained from a variety of sources, through there is a certain affinity for the position found in non aligned Mandalorians, Firrerreo, and even the occasional Barabel; making for a varied and colorful cast within their ranks from most notable warrior races. This natural tendency towards combat allows those within the force to be well accustomed to the situations they're likely to face without the costly training involved, though classes are a constant regardless.
This strength of inherit combat experience allows each to have a wide understanding of not only tactics, but the environment of combat they are in. Blackwell Industries, for these gentlemen, is easy in this regard, however the elite of them are set out to protect the facilities from security threats, breaches, and the occasional loss of prototype devices. These various traits allow them the ability to go toe to toe with most other forces, out doing most that lack the training.
Despite this however, the men are ran on nothing but credits. Morale only goes as far as what it means to be paid, and the risk of death often outdoes these simple needs for the next paycheck, meaning many of the forces when facing completely deathly odds are willing to retreat to fight another day whether their security commander allows them to do so or not. This can become extremely precarious in situations of complete liquidations of facilities, should a government decide to purge one of Blackwell's facilities.
The other danger is that of force sensitives. While many within the group have the know how to at least attempt to take one on, the general consensus of the group as a whole is that they are not to be engaged if possible, leaving them to more skilled units or well equipped teams. Between the equipment they carry, and the training of those involved, they simply do not have the ability to take on the average Sith or Jedi Knight, especially if they have backup.
[*]Description:
- Born from the necessity of protection following the Raid on [Redacted], The Blackwell Security Force is a way to not only cut costs in the grand scheme of the company by making it all in house, but the additional benefit of securing some loyalty amongst its staff. A sub division beneath the administration was tasked with the creation of said forces, quickly moving to hire the more veteran aspects of the galaxy as soon as possible.
Various Mandalorians not aligned with the current standing unification of the clans, Firrerreo, and even Barabels were brought in to help protect the various facilities the company has throughout the galaxy; most notably on high tension planets such as that of Barbatos, where raiding groups and pirates are far too common to be neglected or ignored. Equipment was quickly developed to ensure a standard amongst them, followed by their combined deployment throughout the galaxy.
The effects of The Blackwell Security Force was felt almost instantly, as mining exports from Barbatos were met with little resistance, and large convoys were given the ability to have onboard protection from the pirate who got too close for comfort. Profits quickly rose throughout the company at this quick retaliation to crime, despite the costs of licensing their arms and forces within empires like The Sith.
Further development went into utilizing the group to retrieve lost or stolen technology before a satisfaction was met within them. Their continued support was almost required for the companies continued infrastructure, allowing the ex-Colonel Bren Marr to be employed as their new foundation head; helping to secure Blackwell Industries in its entirety.
