The Empire has responded to the uprising by
deploying several companies of Imperial Army
troopers. These professional soldiers are well
equipped and trained to fight in small units. They are
supported by so-called ‘loyalists’, though they are
really little more than impressed convicts, hired thugs
and pro-imperial zealots, armed by the Empire for use
as garrison troops or, if circumstances require it, bullet
shields. Finally, the Empire has hired teams of alien
mercenaries to operate outside the official chain of
command. Sometimes they act as bounty hunters or
assassins, targeting rebel leaders with precision or
eliminating rebel cells covertly. Sometimes, as in this
case, these mercenaries are little more than terror
troops, slaughtering anyone even suspected of
sympathising with the rebellion.
