Description:
This is a general all-purpose force for the Hutt Cartel to use in their threads, it’s the combination of all the basic pyke syndicate muscle from canon, and many of the basic lackeys from the Hutt cartel, as well as the mercenaries you’ll find around Fire For Effects and Uos facilities such as Red Fifteen. Certainly not all the cartel forces, as many hutts have their own private forces on hand, and special units, as do Cartel companies. As such it’s diverse unit, and should be considered to have between rookies and veterans in it randomly interspaced, with varying degrees of training and specialties.
All Fire For Effects Common Catalogue can be found on these mercenaries, armor, weapons and more. Note not limited or special stock, the common stock, as these are a regular, every day force and will be constantly given updates from FFE’s regular stock while working for the hutts. When there are no better alternatives from FFE, you will find common flamethrowers, blaster carbines and durasteel armors. You’ll also see basic personal shield generators, and common frag, ion, concussion and stun grenades. For melee, force axes, vibroswords and stun batons are common, as well as more archaic weaponry like regular blades or shock whips.

If the Pyke Syndicate ever left the cartel this muscle would too.
