Idle question, how many Credits does it take to maintain the 4518th a month? What percentage of the Duke's budget does it take? How many angels dance on the head of a pin anyway?

Canon indicates that most planetary governments are hard pressed to hire a mercenary battalion.

Number of personnel, support units, weapon systems, depreciation, general equipment, transportation, and so on.
 
Yeah, I could pull some numbers but what I was hoping to do was spark some discussion on just how rich nobles are, anyway. I was looking at the gross product of the Imperium and comparing it to the 1% paradigm. Then I started down the rabbit hole of the 1% of the 1%, until I got to the Emperor. Even though it's probably no where near what someone who knew what they were doing in terms of accuracy, Just the sheer numbers were staggering. As a side note, if some trader manages to take out a pirate, will he be rewarded enough to cover repairs?
 
For a military organization, it must be the overhead(s) that really is the biggest cost factor as a whole.

For piracy, you probably would need existing wanted posters.
