-Much of the opposition about this proposal was the limitation on citizens from traveling between universes and the potential for abuse of any devices that could prohibit this movement. The strongest voices in opposition came from the representatives for [[system:xyainbor]] and [[planet:nataria]]. The main supporters for this bill were [[location:Hoshi no Iori]] and the representative for [[system:lor]]. +Much of the opposition about this proposal was the limitation on citizens from traveling between universes and the potential for abuse of any devices that could prohibit this 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?

-[[planet:nataria]] is in agreement with [[system:xyainbor]]'s representative. We can see no reason for the destruction of trans-universal technology, or its reduction in application. We have allies in other universes, and close ties, as well as enemies, and cutting them off could have disastrous consequences.+[[places:nataria]] is in agreement with [[system:xyainbor]]'s representative.

 In addition, good sirs, there is already a considerable exploration being enacted at this very moment, primarily in the South East corner. Expansion has never been greater, there is no need to provide an incentive to this travel in the form of limiting us to this universe alone. In addition, good sirs, there is already a considerable exploration being enacted at this very moment, primarily in the South East corner.

 Response to opposition:  We can't have corporations acting like they're countries and making treaties, doing exploration, and the like.

-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, [[places: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 [[places:nataria|Nataria]] care so much?
