Mercenary station idea.

Yeah, another problem would be that a "kitbashed" battleship would not be able to stand up to a real military battleship, so would be a waste of resources. In general (in sci-fi), mercs/pirates tend to stick to fast-attack ships (cheap and smaller crew, less eggs in one basket), and fighter-carriers (jump in, launch fighters, move out of range until fight over).

So what we need are Nausikans, Orions and Ferengi Ships. Those races are known for maraud.

True but in some sci-fi there were mercs that were some-what ligitiment and got all sorts of help from major powers in exchange for their services.So it would be possible that they could get a very well put together battleship. Just a thought.
