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.

On the issue of fleets doing PR and Power Projection tours what kind of
numbers/percentages do fleets have on those duties in the present day,
and
what would a reasonable extrapolation in interstellar terms be?
Thanks
