Freeside Thug

Freeside thugs are bandits living in Freeside in 2281.

Background
They are poorly equipped in both apparel and weapons and poorly organized, only working in groups consisting of 2 to 6 people.

Quests

 * ''Flogging a Dead Corpse: When walking through Freeside, a thug may stop you and lead you into an alley. A group of them will then attack you.
 * G.I. Blues: Orris will go on a detour while escorting you and you will be ambushed by 4 thugs (who work together with Orris) upon exiting the detour.

Other interactions
