Starpilot/C Griffen posted-'I ran a merc campaign several years back in which the PCs' unit was a company-sized, mixed-gender unit. Some level of fraternization occurred between the troops. I tossed in a few femme fatales in the NPC mix to entice the PCs and add an aura somewhat like that of the film, Starship Troopers (which hadn't come out yet, BTW, so I didn't derive! ) or Joe Haldeman's excellent book, The Forever War.
I also intimated that relationships developed between various NPCs and I believe I may have even had an NPC couple quit the unit to go off and settle down together. Just added bits of realism to give the NPCs a little personality

Good books, both of em. Haldeman's Forever War was one of my first reads for "food for thought" in gaming Traveller-military STyle. Like you, i found Starship Troopers later.
Good way to introduce the FF into the storyline, even if all else was alluded to "offstage". Nicely done sir.! There's a star!
Next!
