Calling on Bretonia

[LancerZero]

I'm with Griz on this one; think of it this way. There are real-world militaries that have different groups performing different tasks. For instance, the US; only reason I use this as an example is because I am more familiar with it (for obvious reasons XD)

The Marines are the first-strike mobile force; analagous to the QCO.
Special forces of all branches perform various, ah, plausibly deniable operations. That's the QCP.
The National Guard generally stays within US borders (the mess in Iraq aside; I don't want to start talking about real-world politics here), and is roughly similar to the SF...except that the SF is as organized and disciplined, and as well-equipped, as the more aggressive QCO is.

Put simply, I see it like this:

-BAF
---SF performs policing and security actions within Bretonian borders
---QCO actively strikes lawful and unlawful enemies and generally operates outside of Bretonian space
---QCP perform covert raids and interdiction in enemy space

And it's an understood fact that any member of these three factions will come to the aid of anyone in any of the others. I have, as my QCO char, participated in an SF police action against a bounty hunter destroyer, for instance.
