So you're likely correct in some respect, Miss Herrero - whoever we're working for is connected enough with the League to either buy their name or their people, assuming we're not looking at this from the wrong direction entirely. It could be the League government running this through a proxy chain.<br/><br/>As for why they'd form a new merc unit - I can think of a third reason. Namely, deniability. If it's an unpopular sort of job, you can just butter up your own people; if it's the sort of job that can come back and splash egg all over your face, working through a merc group you can cut loose and sever your ties with if things go super pear-shaped has definite advantages."</strong>
