Imperial Army Vendor List - boots updated

[Blackwatch[CMD-DCA]]

Below is a list of Vendors for the Imperial Army Trooper and Engineer/ Sapper  that are in good standing with the Spec Ops Detachment.

This list is not all inclusive and there are other Vendors that make items for the Imperial Army.  Should other Vendors provide us with their information we will update this list accordingly.

If you know or use a Vendor that is not listed, contact them and have the Vendor contact us and we will add them. Recommendations are welcome but will not be added to this list unless provided by the Vendor themselves.

The Spec Ops Detachment does not endorse any Vendor over any others. It is up to you the Trooper to do the research and exercise due diligence when purchasing any products from Vendors. 
The Spec Ops Detachment does not get involved in any disputes that a customer may have with a Vendor and even though these Vendors are considered to be in “Good Standing,” it is not uncommon for issues to arise that must be worked out between the buyer and seller. The Spec Ops Detachment endorses a “Buyer Beware” philosophy on any and all transactions.
