Repatriation Bond: A document guaranteeing passage
of an individual to a specified location upon completion of contract work
or upon suspension of contract work for any reason. Repatriation bonds
are guarantees given as inducements to workers who might otherwise be wary
of leaving their own worlds with no assurances that they could return.
They are most commonly used by mercenary
units.
Repatriation bonds are usually administered by a large
financial institution which holds the necessary funds in escrow. -ld
