Tagon's Toughs
"Travel the galaxy, meet new and interesting life-forms, and then kill them." (company charter, per 2003-07-29)
Description
Tagon's Toughs is a mercenary company currently owned by Captain Kaff Tagon, though it has at various points been owned by Breya Andreyasn and Sergeant Schlock. Roughly seventy people are in the company's employ, and most of them are human. They are divided into officers (commissioned) and grunts (enlisted), where the officers are stakeholders in the company.
History
Three years after its founding, Tagon's Toughs recruited its first carbosilicate amorph, Sergeant Schlock, and was very shortly thereafter acquired by some entrepreneurs who thought a mercenary company would make a great marketing tool.
Tagon's Toughs was at first licensed to perform mercenary work by the Celeschul Defense Services (which Captain Tagon had served in), but their license was revoked in the aftermath of their destruction of the HTRN building 2006-06-01. Soon afterwards, they received a new mercenary license from Petey 2006-08-04.

Author's Note
In A LITTLE IMMORTALITY: SCHLOCK MERCENARY BOOK 17, we are introduced to a numbering convention for the ships that the Toughs have had. Here's the draft.
TT01 - Kitesfear TT02 - Post-Dated Check Loan TT03 - Serial Peacemaker TT04 - Scrapyard of Insufferable Arrogance (technically a facility or station, but we're numbering it anyway) TT05 - Touch-and-Go TT05-06 - Touch-and-Go, after refit TT07 - Bristlecone TT08 - Broken Wind TT09 - Neosynchronicity TT07-10 - Cindercone TT08-11 - [name withheld, it's a refit of Broken Wind] TT12 - [name withheld] TT13 - [name withheld]
The numbering works like this: TT = Tagon's Toughs The first number, 01, is the acquisition number of the ship, OR the acquisition number of the ship from which the current ship is based. The second number is the acquisition number of THIS ship, and is only used in cases where there's a refit, a re-used name, or migrated components.
Thus TT05-06 means "This is the sixth ship the Toughs have had, and it's a refit of the fifth ship." TT07-10 means "This is the tenth ship the Toughs have had, and even though the only thing that came across from the seventh ship was the AI, we want to reflect that in the numbering."
