[FT] Mercs in space

5) We talk about Mercs on the ground. Mercs in space are quite feasible 
too - maritime recovery, security and anti-piracy. Ops on airless 
worlds. Even (anime fans take note) Area88 style Close Aerospace Control

missions - - mercenary pilots and fighters.

Some nations (like, say, New Israel) would have government sponsored 
merc fleet units with their own space, assault and space/surface 
interface components. Not having a good enough grasp of the DS/SG scale,

I haven't done much to flesh out the particular designs yet for the 
planet-fall capable craft of NI, but in general smaller, militarily 
overbuilt powers would have power-projection to spare during relatively 
quiet times in their particular political-military relationships.
