The Ragnar Syndicate, which claims to be a bounty hunter guild (most other guilds to not recognize it as such), maintains connections to bounty hunters, mercenaries, assassins, and assorted freelance paramilitary experts and consultants. The assets at their disposal are too varied to be easily summed up. The Empire, Black Sun, the Hutt families, smaller criminal organizations, ruthless corporations, and other groups needing a predator-paw have been known to hire Ragnar-retained agents.
The Ragnar Syndicate is not a military unit itself, however. It simply serves as an arrangement service for those wishing to hire experts in a field.
Projection: The Ragnar Syndicate is a thorn in the New Republic's side, and will likely remain so. The Imperial warlords used Ragnar as a source of hired specialized assistance, and future enemies are likely to as well.
Bounty hunter guilds consider the Ragnar Syndicate a blot on their profession and would love an excuse to harass them.
