Trade Conglomerate In Sections.
Intro.
In short, the Trade Conglomerate is made up of many companies, merchants, and individual benefactors. As a whole unit the Conglomerate serves as a trade presence outside of the core worlds, acting under its own authority and with its own military. However the Conglomerate's military, navy, etc, is different than most in that it's sectioned off into three main parts. Droids and those who work alongside them, the Conglomerate's public and official military, as well as the mercenary core.
Those of the Droid.
Those of the Droid, a slogan which stuck, are perhaps the most showcased military force of the Trade Conglomerate. Droids, one of the core products for consumer purchase within Conglomerate goods, are also some of the TC's strongest warriors. Often, droids and those who work alongside them will provide tactical support on all kinds of missions, insertions, infiltrations, etc, so they receive some of the most use. It should be noted that, while there is a droid specialized core, droids are known to pop up in other areas of the military; especially those unaffiliated to the Conglomerate by make and model. Additionally, Those of the Droid are the most selective of any branch when it comes to organic admittance. Because of this, organics who are apart of this military branch are held in high regard and often carry high ranking status.
Conglomerate Military.
The Trade Conglomerate's private military consists of a host of differing species, humans, aliens, and droids alike. Trained on Conglomerate worlds in well constructed academies, those who actually make 'soldier' class are quite capable and generally experienced beyond average recruits. Handling some of the finer technologies, this section isn't actually as common to appear in the public eye. While it isn't entirely unlikely, the Conglomerate Military serves mostly as a covert ops, specialized forces in various fields giving it an easily adjusted edge over most enemies. In the ladder of rank, and from highest to lowest, there are the following: Directorate, Viceroy, Admiral, Captain, Officer, then the general Soldier class. There are rumors of other rare and reserved ranks within the military, though nothing has been publicly confirmed.
The Mercenary Core.
By far the least advertised portion of the Conglomerate army, and yet nonetheless active, the Mercenary Core holds by far the most diverse populous. A way to legitimize business with mercenaries and rogue entities from all walks of the galaxy, this group hires those willing to work for pay, regardless of background or reputation. There aren't really proper ranks within this section as its schematics are ever changing. In benefit, the Conglomerate offers a stream of work which can be accepted or declined freely. Helping is always rewarded handsomely, be it in credits, weaponry, armors, or droid tech. Additionally, those in good standing with the Merc Core receive support from the Conglomerate diplomatic services; good for gettin' you out of tough spots.
The Fleet.
The Fleet, a name it's commonly given by anyone not actually a part of it, represents the Conglomerate's Naval Space Unit, C.N.S.U. With high prestige, Fleet commanders are respectable and learned thinkers. Drawing from naval resources within its own core members, the Trade Conglomerate has a host of starships technologies at its disposal. With fighters to frigates to capital ships from numerous makes and models, some from the Merc Core vessels, others droid operated, and many flown from within the the Naval Portion of the Conglomerate Public Military. In ranks, there are Directorate, Viceroy, Admiral, Commander, First Officer, Officer, then degrading into stationed personnel; comm specialists, weapons systems, navigation, etc.
