Pam's Peacekeepers
Pam is generally a non-violent person who knows that rendering aid, disaster relief and feeding the hungry can often be more persuasive in the long run. Her troops excel at peace keeping missions, cadre, garrison and security details. She knows that enemy fanatics can not be reasoned with and may have to be removed to facilitate peace talks and negotiations. Pam's Peacekeepers are equipped at TL–10 for Mercenary operations on less well developed worlds along the frontier. As professional Condotterie she goes where she is told and does what she does best. She prefers to secure a small friendly airstrip long enough for her bombers to take off from. Using the upfront money from the Dream Ticket she currently fields the following units:
She has a Rescue Supply/Relief Logistics Convoy with ten Buffalo class 4x4 Wheeled Cargo Trucks with two crew on each. Cr610,728
She has one Light class 4x4 Wheeled Self Propelled Gun Truck. It has two crew and can carry eight special passengers. This doubles as a headquarters element. Cr471,327.4503
She has a Commando Platoon for those times when the non-violent message isn't getting through. They are equipped with four Vixen class Light Helicopters. These require a pilot and each can carry eight fully equipped commandos. Cr1,947,944
