Hello Mike, that's cryptic and open-ended as usual, with no GURPS content ... do you want to write a GURPS adventure? Otherwise it is off-topic. I think that higher technology requires and allows more dispersed operations, so troops have to be allowed more initiative. You can use galley slaves on the oars of a galley, but not in the CIC of a guided missile destroyer. How are you going to make prisoners fire and maneuver when each squad can decide that they are the base of fire and the other squad should make the assault? High tech might give a few ways to control prison troops, from IFF locks on their guns to gun cameras to record the kills. Send them out with weapons that only work on the enemy, and don't give them any food unless they fired on the enemy. BTW, I'm still waiting for the list of NPC names for Lab goes Dark.
