 ==== 1.1 Mercenaries and Modern Warfare ====
-The conditions created by the modern warfare of this age are unlike any of those created in previous eras. System destroyer weapon systems have reached saturation points in the great militaries of [[faction:yamatai_star_empire|Yamatai]] and [[faction:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia]], while to the east, the growing peacekeeper nation known as the [[faction:united_outer_colonies|UOC]] and their [[faction:lorath_matriarchy]] allies are developing together into another superpower. Powered armor are deployed by the tens of thousands in all major fields of battle and ship-to-ship warfare is waged on the scale of millions of kilometers. In modern warfare, it may not seem like the mercenary or bounty hunter would be useful, but this is only true to the extent of early PMC organizations that were more or less pirates operating under letters of marque, and poorly trained thugs given weapons and dropped into the battlefield with instructions to kill an enemy bearing a certain standard upon their armor and vehicles.

 As a member of the Opportunist's Social Club, this is not your mode of combat.

 ==== 2.2 Qualifications for Hiring ====
-Due to the non-elitist nature of its [[faction:freespacers|Freespacer]] and [[species:nepleslian]] founders, the OSC allows from nearly any person to join, pending psychological and skill tests to determine if they are suitable for work. If they are found to be psychologically or physically unfit, or lacking the proper skills to function in their chosen branch can choose to take training courses or receive augmentations at OSC centers until they are able to make the grade. The Social Club also makes extensive use of liaisons, fixers and handlers, which can be alternative career choices for individuals seeking employment with the OSC.

 In short, the OSC hires any person that is competent, professional and understands the socio-economic ideology behind their organization. That is, to make a bad business better.
