      @@UNSCPILOT I think in this problem is not the lack of FTL travel (Wich I am pretty sure humans do posses in this universe) but rather the LOGISTICAL NIGHTMARE that must be rulling a huge ass empire like that.
      Not mention the after mention fact that Humans tend to quickly organize into groups and form strong bonds with those in the near vicity.
      Think about as how people hold more loyalty with a local authority than with an authority that is really far away.
      Those two facts combine makes keeping a centralized cohesive empire almost imposible.
      And even if you manage to do so it would eventually collapse and splinter into smaller factions, nations, states, confederations, corporations and so on and we will back to square one.

  • @last2nkow

    third prince has made a miscalculation.
    if the society is single leader bonded like that then the emperor will surely have several first class fleets under his personal bond and loyal to him directly if he is not a fool.
    and the count missed out the tendancy for Humans to sieze the opportunities created by chaos. and an alien civil war is a lot of chaos to take advantage of. the Corpos will take chunks out of the alien territory while whichever alien ends up on theoir throne.

    This reminds me of two things. First is the Raj, the British occupation of India. Which, if I remember correctly was largely at the hands of the East indi trading company. I could see whatever company that gets hired would make sure that they are indispensable after the war, and then slowly gains more power until they control the government.
    The second it reminds me of is the story 'the tarren incident ' with the human corporation acting like the Ka'chax.
