-====== The Union ======
-What do you do if you are a mercenary company commander, and you tire of war?  That was the question that faced  Branton 'The Fox' Shearman.  The Fox had started out as a town guard, then a soldier, before becoming a mercenary - and soon rose to command his own company, The Defiant Hogs.  However, it was time to find something new, and he turned to private security.  Soon his new security Company was providing small units of house guards, caravan guards and other small scale protective services.  Before long, he joined with another group,  who provided military recruitment services, and The Union was born.
-Now, they provide just about every sort of private military service, short of fighting wars.  Small guard units (of various descriptions) up to larger garrisons, as well as offering military recruitment services.  If you want town guards but don’t have your own training facilities, or you are a long way from civilization -  you turn to The Union.  If you want a unit of house guards, you go to The Union.  The normal arrangement is you pay for the troops, their weapons and three years salary upfront, and The Union will make sure that the unit is fully staffed and has the officers that it needs.  It will provide sergeants as a matter of course, although more senior officers come at an extra cost.
