-**Original opposition statement: ** Purpose 1 and Proposal 2 are workable, but it seems like Purpose 2 and Proposal 1 were just made in response to Senate [[faction:yamatai:senate:trans-universal_corporate_expansion|Proposal 72]]. Now I don't really think these corporations should be allowed to create armies, and maybe they should focus on this area before trying to branch out, but banning trans-universal travel is taking it too far. It seems like the border defense is trying to carry this trans-universal travel ban. I'd like to ask the senators from [[system:damasica|Kohana]] and [[planet:elysia_novus]] if they even read the portion about banning--no--destroying devices for trans-dimensional travel.+Original opposition statement:  Purpose 1 and Proposal 2 are workable, but it seems like Purpose 2 and Proposal 1 were just made in response to Senate [[faction:yamatai:senate:trans-universal_corporate_expansion|Proposal 72]].

 Realistically, the [[stararmy:start]] can basically destroy any enemies that encroach on its territories. Border defense might be nice, but if the price is destroying devices for trans-dimensional travel to create a border defense that's not even completely necessary, then I absolutely oppose this proposal.  Realistically, the [[stararmy:start]] can basically destroy any enemies that encroach on its territories.

 First of all, people outside of corporations could be affected by this ban. Who are we to restrict their freedom of movement? First of all, people outside of corporations could be affected by this ban. Who are we to restrict their freedom of movement?
  
-Second, I highly doubt that new corporations would be able to raise massive armies like [[faction:yamatai:pnugen_corporation]] or conquering any neighboring universes. But I'm not saying it's impossible. It'd be much more fair to simply draft a set of rules for corporations to follow if they're expanding to other universes. Something like, "no use of force except in defense" and "no connection to the [[stararmy:start|YSA]] should be apparent" and "any enemies a corporation makes is its own problem, and the [[stararmy:start|YSA]] will not protect it in other universes."+Second, I highly doubt that new corporations would be able to raise massive armies like [[corp:pnugen_corporation]] or conquering any neighboring universes.

-**Response to Hoshi no Iori: ** Well, if Star Army has this trans-universal travel negator, what's the threat? Enemies coming straight through the gates? As if the personnel on the other side couldn't hold them off? This could also go under a list of rules for universe-spanning corporations. "If the corporation leads enemies to an open trans-universal gate, Star Army reserves the right to prevent the enemies from entering this universe at any cost."+Response to Hoshi no Iori:  Well, if Star Army has this trans-universal travel negator, what's the threat?

 Also, what's the harm in restricting the technologies allowed to sell, so that the people of the other universe do not destroy themselves? If they're intelligent enough to buy and work the devices anyway, then I think it could be considered an insult to their intelligence to suggest that they don't know what they're doing and they'll kill themselves. Also, what's the harm in restricting the technologies allowed to sell, so that the people of the other universe do not destroy themselves?

 Even if this proposal fails, [[location:Hoshi no Iori]] will do its best to close and/or restrict the gates, so that none of our technology is spread to other universes (where they'll probably destroy themselves with it). We also don't want enemies to come back in.  Even if this proposal fails, [[location:Hoshi no Iori]] will do its best to close and/or restrict the gates, so that none of our technology is spread to other universes (where they'll probably destroy themselves with it).

 Why does [[system:Nataria|Nataria]] care so much? The [[stararmy:start|Star Army]] would still have access to the technology, if needed. The only people negatively affected by this would be upstart corporations and undeserving peoples of other universes. Why does [[system:Nataria|Nataria]] care so much?
