All from the Alarishi Empire.

One hopes that your employer will be able to get you to the point of
action,
because if they can't break a blockade to get you there, they're
probably
going to lose.	Depends on the size of the unit and the equipment.  If
you're going as cadre, you can take commercial transport for the
personnel
and worry about equipment later.  If you're trying to bring a reinforced
armored infantry brigade--which I personally think is ridiculously large
for
a merc organization, not that anyone asked me--then yeah, you have to
hire
people who'll get ulsers dealing with transporting you there in the
first
place, plus making sure that you have access to parts, techs, ammo, etc
which the locals aren't geared up to provide.

space mercs and that is in fact the role my PAs will play.  They form a
small but effective force of hi-tech armored soldiers.
