Armed Wing of the Gdansk Merchant Union
The Merchant Union originated as an alliance of various strongmen who, by one means or another, came to control various resources, such as prewar stockpiles of coal or the Great Mill. As low level industry recovered, emerging factory and workshop owners also joined. The Union is now Gdansk's premier economic bloc, dominating everything from the main marketplace to all production sites above the cottage industry level. The Armed Wing (ZSGUK) represents the hired muscle of the cartels, used to keep workers in line, as well as to protect goods and property from looting/theft. For the most part, the Armed Wing is composed of thugs armed with little more than batons and some number of firearms. This is in part to keep the guards from turning on the cartel bosses. One exception is the professional MJO (Mobilna Jednostka Odpowiedzi), or Mobile Response Unit. The MJO are a loyal force of experienced and well equipped mercenaries. The MJO are also occasionally supported by Monolith.
Approximate Strength: 200 (including 50 in the MJO)
Current Allegiance(s): Stal Gdansk
