Welcome to the Guild - the hub of mercenary activity within Confederate space. Within this primer, you will find everything you need in order to grow rich within our ranks. To be added to the roster, please post below. Note: If you believe your character is deserving of a higher rank than the base tier, please provide links to existing mercenary work within Confederate stories for consideration.
INTRODUCTION
Galactic history is seldom written through truly glorious conquest. The Art of War is a gruesome affair - and civilized nations often tire of the bloodshed over time. Moreover, as the flames dwindle to ash, countless lives are revealed to have been burnt away. Those who survive are left broken, battered, and alone. It is in this hellish reality that the Guild first began its rise.
Where the Galaxy sees only destruction, the Guild sees an opportunity. Where the Galaxy sees the displaced and the dejected, the Guild sees its warriors. Where the Galaxy turns away from conflict, the Guild sees an opportunity to profit. And in this turbulent Galaxy...business is good.
STRUCTURE
While based within Confederate space, the Guild is not a state-sponsored organization. Rather, it pays hefty dues to operate with some autonomy within their borders. Therefore, members of the Guild are not subject to Confederate oversight or subordination - save for contracts where a definitive chain of command is warranted. Ultimately, members of the Guild are free to come and go as they please and can fulfill contracts at their leisure.
On an operational level, the Guild operates as an intermediary for its members. Its Directors accept and vet contracts from a variety of sources to ensure members are fairly and duly compensated for their efforts. In return, a portion of the profits are withheld to maintain the Guild's operations. Members are paid, firstly, through Credits - though higher-tiered members are eligible for even greater forms of compensation.
Members of the Guild are grouped into three tiers which determine how immense their mission proceeds are. The more skilled and consistent a member is, the higher up the tiers they climb. Elevation is typically determined by Director observation - though members can vouch or vote for the promotion of their peers as well. The tiers are as follows:
RONIN | The Wanderer - So named for the Atrisian concept of a warrior devoid of a master, Ronin make up the most populous tier of the Guild. Upon joining the Guild, members are typically assisnged to this tier unless they have a history of successful mercenary activity within the Southern Systems. Ronin are always compensated with credits and regularly earn capital for excellent performances.
WOKOU | The Raider - So named for the Atrisian concept of veteran, seafaring brigands, the Wokou are a noticeable step up in the organization. Wokou are compensated with credits and capital, moreso than their Ronin peers. Moreover, they are also eligible to earn unique assets for excellent performances.
HITOKIRI | The Slayer - So named for the Atrisian concept of a legendary manslayer, the Hitokiri are the Guilds most trusted and elite members. They are compensated extraordinarily well for their efforts in fortunes of credits, capital, and assets. Moreover, they are eligible to earn valuable parcels of their services. Due to their commanding presence in the organization, the Hitokiri also have the ear of the DIrectors and can sway the Guild's direction to be in accordance with their desires.
COMPENSATION
On an Out of Character note, the CIS strives to make mercenary work worthwhile for those players who enjoy this style of play or these players who enjoy occasional dabbing in the faction. In the absence of a true economy on the board, we have devised an IC/OOC method of compensating Guild members for their efforts: Credits, Capital, Assets, and Parcels.
CREDITS of course are the currency of the Star Wars universe and will be given out after the completion of each mission IC.
CAPITAL are graphics packages that will be rewarded to Guild members. These can range from biography art, avatars, signatures, dividers, etc. in whatever form you desire. For example, if you desire a new avatar for a non-Guild alternative character of yours, we will make it! If you desire a signature for a friend, we will make it!
ASSETS are Factory Submissions submitted for usage by the Guild exclusively or your character uniquely. Depending upon your tier, you can earn submissions as a group or request unique items for your character. At the highest tier, you can even request submissions to be made for alternate characters as well!
PARCELS are Codex Locations submitted with your Guild character in mind. These can range from Homesteads to Hidden Bases and everything in-between. Here, we utilize the security of our borders to ensure the safety of your location, so typically these will be submitted within CIS space. However, requests are always taken into consideration for our esteemed members!
