Thugs-4-Less

"Pay for six hits, and the seventh is free!"

- One of the many Thugs-4-Less' mottos.

The Thugs 4-Less were a large group of hired mercenaries in the Bogon Galaxy. The company was completely worked by Thugs. As they were stationed on planet Snivelak, they eliminated or protected anyone for the right price, although they seemed to have a strict code of brotherhood and a warped sense of morality, enforced by their leader.

Description
The brotherhood was made up entirely by the unnamed Thug species, which was possibly a decision made by the boss to strengthen the bond between the brotherhood. However, they never did stay loyal to one client and would kill or destroy the current client's operations for the right price. This behavior was shown when dealing with Angela Cross. The boss seemed to love destruction and always got the organization in to the mix whenever Megacorp had suspicious activity. Propaganda and fear was shown throughout the Thugs as a desert rider said: "Don't worry,the boss only yells because he loves us." They also commonly used the Desert Riders' Hoverbike track on planet Barlow.

History
During Ratchet's stay in Bogon, The Thief hired the Thugs to stop Ratchet from retrieving the Protopet. Failing numerous times, the Thugs then were then rehired by Megacorp to frame Ratchet for the attempted murder of Abercrombie Fizzwidget. Their mission ended up successful, although the Lombax later managed to escape their flying prison. Soon thereafter, Ratchet and Clank took down the Thugs' fleet in the Gorn orbit, and then finally proceeded to Snivelak where they defeated the Thugs-4-Less leader himself. After this, the organization fell apart.

Aftermath of breakup
After they fell apart, most of the thugs were arrested and taken to the Solana Galaxy's Prison Complex, where they attempted to get revenge on Ratchet, who was taken there, after he tried to steal the Eye of Infinity. The Thugs-4-Less company was later mentioned in the Trivia round of Le Paradis Des Tricheurs Casino. In Full Frontal Assault, Zurgo briefly mentions he obtained his explosive bombs from an abandoned Thugs-4-Less outpost.
