- Combat Function: Preferring Ambushes. Dirty Tricks and Tactics are to be expected. They will fight significantly harder if they are paid more. On the defense they are more likely to fire from urban areas or from good cover. You won't see any of them rushing to die for a cause, only for a big payday. They are very likely to rely on superior numbers rather than come in small groups.
- Top of the line HUD with location mapping and a wide spectrum of vision types.
- Lots of tech and toys.
- Expect dirty tricks and tactics
- Scylla AI in the HUD improving aim and kill zones. Interfacing with other Scylla AI systems, and protecting the HUD from being interfered with remotely.
- Credits rarely buy heroes. Even if fear keeps them loyal.
- Disorganized, not a rabble, but not a disciplined army either.
- Completely average armor. Might take a hit or two, might not.
- Gear is mixed, some old, some new, making resupplying all the different weapons difficult in extended fights.
The Triads originally started working with the Pyke Syndicate ten years ago. Since then they've developed a working relationship with several underworld groups, bringing them into some kind of loose affiliation to encourage business opportunities and weapon sales. Since the Hutt's continued rise the Pyke's have seen a resurgence in their own numbers and influence. The spice trade is booming and it's buying guns for hire. The syndicate itself has operated for longer than anyone can remember, and these types of hired guns have been around that long. All that's happening now is, the Triads are outfitting them with some new gear.
