GLM

From Cowboy Bebop: Space Cowboy

GLM, or the Galactic League of Merchants, is a group created by the ISSP to assure the sufficient education and growth of suitable engineers throughout the galaxy that may collaborate for the betterment of the solar system. Similar to RBH, they aren't an official part of the ISSP, and yet they still were created, and in theory could be disbanded by them if they saw the need to do so. They were created in response to the great catastrophy which destroyed the ISSP recreational casino ship, Jubilee. Reports of engineering problems causing the ship's destruction lead to ISSP forming the group of engineers so an incident like that would never happen again.

Members of the GLM recieve discounted prices in purchasing their engineering expenses, as well as learning to understand construction processes more quickly from their own concentration on the subject and from the insight that their comrades may provide them. In turn, they're discouraged from taking time from their concentrated engineering studies to pursue feuds, and tend to pay less attention to these fights because of it, learning less. Lastly, upon abandoning your skilled bretheren, you lose the insight their unspoken knowledge provided you, losing some of the skill you formerly possessed.

(GLM Enlistment Office is located in La Fin, Ganymede, Police Station)
