Mercenary unit?

The more I think about it, the more I think the Bounty Hunter should be treated as a mercenary unit. It's one famous guy and his entourage, with 'Mechs, for hire. Compare to Ace Darwin's WhipIts, the Blazing Aces, or the Crescent Hawks. Frabby (talk) 09:24, 27 December 2020 (EST)

I was having thoughts along the lines of "we need to do something more specific for personas" when I noticed that the Green Knight has been cononized in the latest rec guide. A 'Mech unit would certainly still work for the Bounty Hunter as we do have a list of commanding officers and TO&E for a number of eras.--Dmon (talk) 10:34, 27 December 2020 (EST)

Why not do both? Treat as a Merc unit plus split the individuals into separate articles.--Cache (talk) 11:17, 27 December 2020 (EST)

Agreed. The level of detail about the later holders like Vic Travers is beginning to overwhelm an article which really should be about the "brand" rather than the person. Cyc (talk) 16:30, 27 December 2020 (EST)
