We have traders that arrive by caravan, we have orbital traders, but we have no traders that arrive by SRTS. It could simply be a small trader group that arrives by SRTS. They would be part of a faction in order to hard-punish ♥♥♥♥ing with these caravans.

Also, raiders that arrive by SRTS. They could get dropped off and then fly away the SRTS or keep one special 'pirate" type SRTS on the map or something? Instead of fleeing from the map when pushed over the threshold, they would run to their ship and board / fly away.

The pirate type SRTS would be preferable to not use, as it would go bad with other factions (global cap of would drop by 20, so being max 80 instead of 100 reputation with other factions. and maybe a one time drop of 40 or something) and they would likely attack you if you land on their maps with this thing. Better to scrap it for parts and build your own legit SRTS. I imagine a reskinned version of an existing SRTS to minimise dev time on new models.
