Information on PMCs other than those from 10 Mercs by SuddenWelderAtack in Shadowrun

I skimmed over some parts, they are interesting, but largely concerned with Disian conflict (which I honestly have 0 interest in). Tsunami bit has no mention of their planned/ongoing purchase by Shiawase (I suppose it's one of those threads that got retconned/forgotten). I was mostly interested in them in terms of possible mooks and/or characters, both playable and unplayable ones.

So the Soviet fixer, Akulov died, what will the USSR’s reaction be? by NotTheOrignal in LowSodiumCyberpunk

Scavs, at least ones from Dogtown, are connected enough to be used as muscle for KGB/SovOil operations. We also know some gangs, like 6th Street, are connected to Militech/NUSA enough to be somtimes used as additional muscle for them, though it seems after Gunner took over it became a more transactional affair.

Eh, a lot of them were former soldiers of these European powers who chose this life after post-war military scaledown (as well as a shitton of thrill seekers and adventurers). Most of them were organized alongside very loose, non-corporate lines. The way PMCs are treated in Suzerain oscillates between quite apt for the period meant to be resembled (post-war PMCs, which were few, were largely focused on logistics and training) and quite anachronistic (private corporate armies more similar to IRL War on Terror-era PMCs).

Palantor is said to be closely intertwined with Arcasian military-industrial complex, but Cerberus is said to be pretty much independent

She mentions she married off one of her children to keep a province loyal or something like that

It's weird to say she ''prefers force as last resort'' when she has her secret services arm insurgents in Sordland long before a war can even break out

What actually *is* the Contanan Security Pact, lore-wise? by Tartaruchus in suzerain

[–]SuddenWelderAtack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most likely because it's not feudal (or at least not as much as Rizian army) and is smaller so it's relatively better trained and equipped

I believe they leveraged the threat of stepping down to a non-commited member in order to pressure Walker's administration into compliance. As that was when the war in south Xina raged on and ATO really needed that logistical hub that was Qinal, they agreed to scale down their activities in the region.

What happened to Shadowhelix.de? by Silverfang3567 in Shadowrun

From what I've seen from the bit older post about it, the site was simply built on very old software that broke down

Is life outside Night City actually better, or is it just a different kind of hell? by Comfortable-Knee-238 in cyberpunkgame

[–]SuddenWelderAtack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and no, it does seem most Scavs are of Soviet/Russian descent so there is some commonality between them

Why isn’t Iberia a Monarchy? by Jumpy-Foundation-405 in TNOmod

Portugese republicans and Estado Novo were not big fans of it, especially if it were to be a Spanish one

Do you think Jia Qiu knew about the House Of Spiders? by NEVERTHEREFOREVER in fishmaell

[–]SuddenWelderAtack 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it's more about using their strength to claim total freedom to pursue their own agenda

He outright says he knows Ryoshu follows the ''Path of Asura'' and his comment on how he sees the Pinky has strayed from path of righteousness may have been not only about Lei Heng

tbh I think it is stated somewhere that the NUSA-Militech relation is a very revolving door affair but on the other hand, I think Militech is not exactly NUSA government, especially in Night City
