Bearing in mind that the whole [OFFICIAL] background is there purely and
simply for FUN, rather than any real kind of pseudo-future-historical
"accuracy" (whatever the hell that is), I tend to go along with this
feeling. The Gurkhas should still be in NAC service, though I also like
the
concept of allowing some of them to hire out as Mercs for other
conflicts
provided they don't actually fight against NAC troops, allies or
interests.
Why does the idea of a harsh, barren Gurkha- settled colony world just
scream "Dorsai" at me....?  :-)
