[/Over-Nationalistic Malaysian History] Sarcasm and overnationalism aside (which is sardonically ironic, as I'm Sabahan, and thus don't really give a shit about what happened to the Peninsula centuries ago), the average malaysian spends the ages of 9 to 17 being taught about the evil British who came, screwed over the Malays, and used the East India Company to gain footholds in this wonderful country. Hence my ability to recall it - afterall, the East India Company's most significant action in the US was the Boston Tea Party. My point is simply that it has been done before, and can be done again. Space is dangerous, afterall, and we need escorts who can fight off pirates in heavy cruisers...

I said "now-irrelevant". As in today. Being defunct and out of business... they are most certainly irrelevant in today's world. And if you're going to bear a grudge on the activities of some dead company... well... that's not gonna get you anywhere.

But you're right. Corporate Power seeks more power, and it will happen again in the future where there exists some new "Wild West" out in space. At least, there won't be any native people to deal with in these space territories. Not until distant inhabited worlds are found... Quote:

As I said, I'm from Sabah - generally the East India Company's actions were more to what is now West Malaysia, and frankly us Sabahans don't give a shit (at the same time, West Malaysians also don't give a shit to Sabah, so the sentiment is returned). It does, however, make for good stirring up by our politicians, so they can try and distract the Malaysian in the street from endemic corruption and institutional racism. tl;dr: Goose was trying to be an Overdramatic Large Ham to showcase his sarcasm, but thanks to the filter of the internet, the intent was misinterpreted for a sincere belief in the crap he was sprouting, which is his own damn fault.

Considering the vastness of space, there are bound to be places outside of national lines. That or just too many planets, stellar clusters, and deep space outposts to police for the Galactic Empire. Thus you get companies that can police their own traffic. Especially those that are potentally the largest of them.
Another space opera analogy would be the Space Defense Forces used by the Galaxy Railways in the Galaxy Express 999 Universe. Were the Galaxy Railways itself operates as a governmental body over there own interstellar rail system.
