Mercenaries are how war is fought. With so many peoples in the system, paying the full expense for a military can be wasteful: you use someone else. Mercenary armies can be large or small, but most of the time you need more than one to your job done. If only because they tend to specialize.

Q22
What does an elite shock trooper wear: battle suits? mecha? exoskeletons? Flight packs? unpowered armor? Luck and awesomely bared abs? or something else? or are their multiple kinds?
