G4 Gladiators [G4G] - Organizations - Roberts Space Industries

History

G4 Gladiators’ origins, our origins, can be traced back to the early 21st century. In the early days, G4 was known as a loosely affiliated group of small time criminals, operating in and across North America. In those days, our M.O. was simple, work quickly, cleanly, and with only the right people, only with trusted people. We were more like a family than an organization; more like a brotherhood than a gang. Over the next century, we gained in power and influence, to the point where the authorities began hunting us furiously.

We have always been a resilient bunch, but no small, closely-knit group can directly oppose a government and expect to be successful for any extended period of time. So, pressed almost to extinction, we were given a choice: die by the hand of the law, or go legitimate. “Legitimate” being a loose term with any Government, we agreed to continue our… activities with the blessing of the powers that be.

Today we resemble more of a Private Military than a Gang-for-Hire. We never forget our roots though, and our M.O. has remained largely unchanged.

We are the G4 Gladiators, and our story has just begun.

Manifesto

We are a small, but dedicated, Private Military Company. We fight hard, we work quickly, and we don’t leave personnel behind. We fly good ships, and we use good equipment. We reserve the right to refuse jobs.

We do not tolerate treachery, internally or otherwise. We see it as a sickness, a cancer, and when encountered, we seek to excise it immediately.

We pride ourselves on being a close knit group. We are a brotherhood, not a simple organization. If you are accepted, it’s because we like you, not because of what you can get us. We recruit based on personality and ability. It’s essential for our work that we can not only rely on one another in combat, but also stand one another in the tight quarters usually found aboard spacecraft.

While we respect the opinions and experience of every crewman, there is an appropriate time and place to share those. Blatant insubordination will not be tolerated. Drama will not be tolerated.

We like to have fun with our work.
