The Trade Conglomerate already has a mercenary core group, it's what's being used on sullust in fact. And what had been used before on planets like Iskeria. One of our largest recruitment venues is through the mercenary core, because it's relatively non exclusive. Someone can be a member of the core without it distracting from their normal life, so long as they fight for the Conomerate when called and receive the rewards of doing so.

As for starting a thread currently, I'm not going to stop you, but neither nor Jaster will be able to participate much. I've got my hands full with the large event thread and factory submissions for the conglomerate, not to mention DEV threads and technical work. If you wanted to wit just a but I'd love to conduct a battle station space battle! Do you have a planet in mind, somewhere this enemy battle station would be?
