List of Schlock Mercenary Characters - Organizations

Organizations

• Tagon's Toughs
  The company of mercenaries that the narrative focuses on. They employ a wide variety of sapient species. The grunts are all augmented with soldier-boosts (with the exception of Sergeant Schlock), low-profile body armor (previously powered armor until an infestation of diamond beatles nearly killed the entire crew), and training in the principles and practices of unarmed combat by Shodan.
  When on missions, they use code words and phrases for certain things with each other for the sake of discreetness, quick understanding, and brevity. For instance, "half-court playground ball" means "indoor voices, no shooting." Sergeant Schlock's favorite word in Galstandard West is "jungleball" – which roughly translates as "eliminate all targets without consideration for collateral damage".
• Intergalactic Health Care
  Tagon's Toughs' HMO. No matter your injury, Intergalactic Health Care will do its very best to worm out of paying for any treatment but the very least-useful one, even if it increases the expense of said treatment. For example, Corporal Burt 'Nick' Nicholson is able to have a hand lost in combat regenerated, but the HMO insisted that two previously missing fingers constituted a pre-existing condition, and demanded they be severed from the regenerated hand. However, Lt. Cmdr. Der Trihs suffered the most at their hands—getting his head put in a jar. They also refuse to cover chiropractry.
