The Brigands
.

tumblr_m03njvHcZV1r3kvzio1_500.jpg

The Brigands are a squad formed very recently in the Rebel Alliance, and has not yet made a consequential name for themselves. The squad is made up of any recruits the Rebel Alliance can scrap in the territory which the Rebels 'hold', and can be of any race. These men are then given the standard issue training, to set explosives for example, and live fire training, to make sure they are actually able to kill the enemy instead of accidentally shooting themselves in the head. Whilst not necessarily the finest men the Rebels can get, when training is completed, they are still damn fine men, which any cell would be proud to have. Not that they will have much choice with the lack of manpower the Rebels have anyways, but still.

Brigands are a flexible unit, able to conduct many different types of operations. For example, they could be asked to sneak into Imperial territory and assassinate a high ranking officer, or they could be asked to be on the frontlines and be the first over the top in a Rebel attack, or they could be deployed to sabotage a heavy weapons factory. Their roles in campaigns could range significantly, but whatever they do, the men try to complete the mission as quickly and as effectively as possible, no matter the circumstances.

The Brigands is usually very accepting for who they accept. With manpower shortages a common occurrence compared to the Imperials, who effectively have a galaxy at their disposal, any recruits are better then none. There are usual loyalty tests to make sure they're not Imperial spies, and the training which every Rebel soldier usually get, but mainly its on the job experience which pulls them through.

Brigands do not really have a philosophy to talk about. They are far too busy really to have one, as they are usually out and about on missions, rather than stuck in barracks. If they were to have one, it would be a very simple one of exterminating the Imps, win freedom to the galaxy and all the rest of the Rebel rhetoric.

History


Brigands are a new addition at the Rebel's disposal, and have no real history to speak about. (This will be filled up as missions are completed)


Structure



Captain: The man/woman in charge of the squad, they are most likely the most veteran soldier in the squad. Promoted by higher-ups, he is responsible for organising how an operation is going to proceed, and delegating tasks. A man to be respected, he does not always decide to ascend to higher levels. Sometimes for fear of bureaucracy, other times because they want to continue getting stuck in there!


Lieutenant: There are 2 spaces available for the job, and they are usually in command of the other soldiers in the squad. They command from the front lines with their respective squads, and so are usually the ones to live, eat and sleep with them, though the Captain also regularly fraternises with the men.

Private: The main bulk of the squad, these are the men which live like any other Rebel soldier/common private. They listen, and obey without question, a testament to the trust held between the men in the squad. Chances of promotion vary, depending on whether there are any spaces for Lieutenant left, and whether the soldier has done sufficiently to be granted it.

Reserving a spot here, post link account later. I guess a character with level 1 can be applied here? And by the way, are you in Discord by any chance?

Just a couple of recommendations:

First, I personally wouldn't recommend sniping in star wars. Blaster bolts move pretty slow compared to bullets, so targets over 100m away would have several seconds to dodge a bolt before it got to them. I would stick to a multifunctional commando type thing.

Second, I would definitely find a new name.

Turning this into just an unconventional warfare group would be more practical...yeah the rebels are already kind of that, but stuff like assassinations (sniping), sabotage, courier services, general guerrilla warfare, training soldiers, and the like might be a better thing. Kind of a 'dirty boxing' version of the Galactic Alliance. It could also do basic reconnaissance for a main assault, that kind of stuff, just to turn this into a more plausible thing, seeing as we won't get called up to snipe very often...

Anyways, I'm still in. Working on my character.

I am in. I have a character who will gladly sign up. I will post a link to him later. He will be a loyal soldier and will do anything he is ordered to do.

Cheers lads for the feedback!

So would a commando squad be more appropriate?

And what name should I name my thing? Because I’m lost on that bit. I’m not very creative so sorry!

Other than that, thanks for all the response!

I think, as @Loco said, a more conventional 'Rebel Squad' would work very well, guerilla warfare etc. Take inspiration from R1 and Star Wars Rebels :-)

Just don't kill off folks during training, the site can't handle that much badassery.

Would just getting seriously injured work just fine?
Honestly, what good would that or the death training part do? The rebellion is small enough, why waste the people you have by getting them seriously injuried or killed. Seems like an attempt to create a fake reputation for the group. "We're so badass you need X level badassery to even survive our training."

Make them a normal group, with normal training, and just do things with them in RP and let that build their reputation.

I'm working on a Reb/Mando dude that could fit in well with this.

Made edits based on your feedback guys! Haven't changed the name because I'm still thinking up of one. Hmm...

Names are hard:

Brigand Squad (or just Brigands)
Misfit Squad (kinda generic)
Blisterbug
Hssiss
Scorpion
Nexu
Vesp

Just some ideas. I'm proud of the first one.

Maybe the official unit organization is K @Taz ; then you can still have an honorary Keever squad!
