SciFi Military Question of the Day!	by Illiad	2007-04-06 00:10:33
It really depends on the tech	by rhinobird	2007-04-06 00:43:52
If it takes too long to send a message or get any where, like we're stuck with radio and sub-light transport, then each planet should probably be its own city state. If message and travel time are reasonable then I say the city-states should be able to join a voluntary confederation for mutual defense and trade. Although space is so big that piracy wouldn't be a big problem in the depths. You might see it in orbital areas, but then the local planet should be able to police its own gravitational influence. I really don't see much of a need for an interstellar government. What little there would be, could be covered by individual trreaties between planets.
