COYNITE COMPANIES

There are two main Coynite companies that off-worlders may know about or encounter , Ekkar Arms and the Mercenary Guild of Coyn.

Ekkar Arms:

This is Coyn's chief manufacturer of arms and armour. Whether it is Coynite native weaponry or blaster rifles, thermal detonators and vibro-axes, Ekkar's products are of the highest quality. As a result, all of Ekkar's merchandise typically costs 10 percent more than average prices. However, in return, weapons such as blasters are easier to repair and can withstand more punishment.

 

Mercenary Guild Of Coyn:

This is the main Coynite mercenary organisation and it is officially affiliated with the En'Tra. Each noble family is required to contribute a specific number of soldiers for mercenary service, and individuals are allowed to join at their discretion. The Mercenary Guild Of Coyn hires out its services to all legal organisations seeking military forces for legal activities. In other words, the mercenary guild may hire out soldiers to serve the Empire, or to serve a corporation, but the guild will not hire out soldiers to the Rebel Alliance. As Coyn is within the Empire, it will not risk a full invasion by the Empire; a hopeless fight is not honourable. Warriors always have the option of rejecting mercenary missions, but no warrior has ever used this option, since it would result in lost honour. All warriors have worn to defend Coyn and Coyn's interests in the event of an attack. Guild Entry fee is 100 credits and annual dues are 50 credits. The guild gets 15% of the mercenary's pay. Weapons and armour can be purchased from the guild at a 10% discount.
The Mercenary Guild is a venerable, trustworthy operation with a reputation above reproach. Mercenaries who violate their contracts, flee from a battle, turn on their employer or otherwise commit treason or show cowardice are branded af'harl. In some cases, such as desertion, the guild will send other mercenaries to hunt down and execute the coward. The Mercenary Guild has offices on Elrood, Torina, Derilyn and Lanthrym.
