VOWS / Guild Academy
In the Four Horsemen Universe (4HU), VOWS are the Voluntary Off-World Assessment Exams, a battery of tests that determined whether a human is suitable to serve in one of the mercenary companies.
In The Mercenary Guild, we have incorporated VOWS into our online Mercenary Guild Academy, along with the Peacemakers assessments.
The Academy is broken into two different schools: Voluntary Off-World Assessments (VOWS) and Peacemakers Assessments. VOWS is broken up into five different tracks: MST, LST, TST, GHT, and GUT while Peacemakers currently has two tracks: PST and PLT.
MST – Mercenary Service Track: Your pathway to learning all about the inner workings of The Mercenary Guild and our policies on promotions, awards, and contracts.
LST – Leadership Service Track: Courses testing your knowledge of basic military strategy and tactics, as applied to the 4HU.
TST – Technical Skills Track: Covers survivability while completing contracts, including courses on survival situations, fundamentals of flight, leading an Infantry Weapons Company, and CASPers.
GHT – Guild History Track: Learn more about the Four Horsemen Universe and share that knowledge. Includes 4HU General Knowledge courses and GALNET Research Projects.
GUT - Galactic Union Track: These courses cover the Galactic Union residents and the equipment and conveyances they use.
PLT/PST – Peacemakers Leadership/Service Track: Courses for potential or serving Peacemakers, and courses about Peacemaker novels in the 4HU.
