Red Sash Company Marines, Rallu. hd 3
While the Army and Navy of Rallu are rightly feared, most noble households' troops these days tend to be 'show troops' - nice to look at parading the compound, but of limited military experience. This has created an opening for the Mercenaries - the Private Military Companies or PMCs, of which the Red Sash is among the oldest and best known. Most of the soldiery are themselves military veterans, and more than a match for most pirates, tribal warriors, and suchlike.
