Rob, I'm willing to make it a collaborative effort anyways. The Roughriders are pretty much paramilitary anyways with a side of NASA-Fen. Noah would probably be doing most of the real business deals with them. I imagine they'd be useful to have around for lifting purposes - with their lightweight orbiters, they're ideal for that sort of thing.
Earth-grown fruits and veggies may have a nice little niche market in Fenspace, and this is to say nothing of the passenger services (not very many of those around still - only two dedicated services last time I checked).
As for the Roughrider's interest in this, it'd be an ideal way to get a satellite facility 'Dane-side - there's a few parties among the 'Danes, I'd imagine, that wouldn't mind purchasing their services for self-defense. They can get into bed with the SSA because 1) the SSA has no qualms against hardtech made with 'Wave-tech, and 2) the locals don't care as long as the rent's paid and the environment is cared for. Plus, having a friendly merc-force on contract and on-base is nice when you have Bosconians, Slavers, and other nastiness running around. (They also get pro-rated lifting services as part of the deal.
