Uncle Bob's National Security

"Just think, son. Some day, little Sally will be able to hitch hike down the freeway without getting all her organs torn out and sold for gas money. The world needs a hero, and I think you qualify." - Uncle Bob
Uncle Bob's National Security (or UBNS for short,) is one of the main factions in Brigand: Oaxaca. It is run by Uncle Bob, and Junk Fort is its place of operations within Oaxaca, and the Republic of Texas is their home. They are in control of Ricardo's Plantation, and are the reason that the player was framed for murder in the beginning of the game. ITIC does freelance for the company.
UBNS aims to take control of Pochutla from the Eleggua Tribe, and in turn take over Oaxaca. The player can either work for them, or betray them and join the Eleggua Tribe.
== Mercenaries and Hierarchy ==
The UBNS holds its fair share of mercenaries and ranks:
* Workers, who may work in the plantation and sell food and other items.
* UB Mercenaries, who are given proper weaponry and can tell rumours to the player if their respect with the UBNS is high enough
* UB Elite, who are able to repair weaponry, and are the superiors to UB Mercs.
* Uncle Bob, the head chief, who all the other mercenaries take orders from.
According to the UBNS Handbook, mercenaries of the UBNS are forced to follow these rules or risk punishment:
# Should a firearm or other standard issue item break before brought in for repairs, its human counterpart shall be punished with 10 floggings.
# If a mercenary allows a target to escape, punishment will consist of 30 floggings plus a week of forced labor as his elite superior sees fit: A) methane miner; B) moonshine tester; C) demon bait.
# If a mercenary abandons his post or otherwise disobeys a direct order, punishment may vary from indefinite forced labor to death by hanging.
# When in the presence of an elite superior, inferior mercenaries must salute. Failure to do so, or looking directly into an elite officer's eyes, will result in a punishment of 10 floggings.
# The only time an inferior may initiate dialogue with an elite officer is for firearm maintainance or to report possible hostilities. All inferior mercenaries take direct orders from elite officers. All elite officers take direct orders from Uncle Bob himself.
# Should a mercenary wish to terminate his contract, he will give at least a 1 year notice or be subject to indefinite forced labor or death by hanging.
