T'lia surprises no one in describing the local civilian wear as denim trousers and workshirts with sturdy boots and caps or brimmed hats for eye comfort.

Frank states that SEMC will supply "dusters" that can contain a ballisitic cloth armour weave. Civvy gear is issued to all ranks.

Local Weaponry: Tarsus is solidly mid tech and therefore civilian variants of the ACR (firing slug ammo) or more likely inferior lower tech analogues are going to be prevalent for "home defence". Shotguns as a cheaper option for more multi role work, smaller calibre "plinkers" may also be present but of limited military use and "everyday carry handguns" are common as personal protection weapons.

Tac Update: The local "military" wear (a bizarre mesh reflec armour combo) and roll out in small fireteams of five in a limited issue G Carriers with a bulky laser rifle as their (equally bizarre) squad support weapon). [A given Easy Military knowledge check for mercs: mid tech lasers are notoriously heavy and for the weight you could have a SAW or grenade launcher... or both...].

Tac Update: T'lia cautions that thee is an active an viable military threat from the insurgents over the river and that any and all Tarsan farm workers are considered targets by these forces (who much prefer to attack and commit crimes against civilians). The incursions over the river are opposed by local militia forces. She states that the militia have been given "some assistance" by off world intersts and although small in size are becoming more efficient. The "civilised" farms to the south offer a greater threat of military equivalent forces as they are known to hire mercenaries / hired guns as a solution to "boundary disputes".

Strategic Update: T'lia states that in her military appreciation should a "contact" occur between the Tarsan military and SEMC forces it will end so badly for them as to include terms like "catastrophic". She rates their officer corps as "amateur" and their command and control capacity as both "vulnerable" and "minimal". She ends her assessment with a reminder that a current mission aim is a "zero collateral" policy with respect to local security forces.
