Vets or Elite? Armaments?

Hmm. I think the FSE will have nada to do with Quebecois, but I would 
imagine Le Quebecois Libre to be persisting on some annoying 
backwater worlds (like the Free Scots, the southerners, and the other 
groups of malcontents/freedom fighters/etc). I could see the FSE 
selling them weapons (historically, France has sold to just about 
everyone) and supporting them only where FSE interests were 
DIRECTLY at stake. 

To kill the SAS, you need ambush capability, or double blind play - 
to let your locals get in range. Try giving the locals some booby 
traps. That might wound/slow the SAS. Give the FSE a couple of CDMs 
to position. That might make quite a difference without upping the 
strength of the FSE force. 

Who was the hostage?
