Repubulans

• The Repubulan Fair-and-Balanced Zone
  • Clerk: One thing I don't understand... I thought this zone was supposed to be a buffer between the Repubulan Empire and the United Corporation of Profits -- so why are we supposed to stay on our side, but you're allowed to cross it?
  • Repubulon: Captain Clerk, we will no longer accept your attempts to divert attention away from the crisis on Beta Benghazi Five!
• The Repubulan Truth-Cloaking Device
  • Stock: If my calculations are correct, the Repubulans will lower their truth-cloaking in approximately zero point five three two seconds...
  • Mulu: Truth cloaking down, Captain -- the Republulans are revealing their true intentions!
  • Clerk: Quick, Mr. Mulu -- we'll only have one shot to get in a rational argument!
  • Mulu: They're firing a propaganda blast at us! ...and cloaked again, sir.
  • Clerk: Mr. Mulu -- evasive maneuvers, spin factor seven!

Regulons

Always trying to impose "big government" on the Corporation.

Organicans

A mysterious race that maintains an appearance of being extremely low-tech while in fact possessing advanced agricultural technology. One day, the Corporation will evolve to the mental level of the Organicans, and become sustainable.

Misc.

• Lieutenant Obama, communications officer?
• Storefleet Command actually considers the mission of the Private Enterprise to be irrelevant, but pretends otherwise
  • Frequently cutting crew benefits - Dr. DeCoy is a hologram (Dammit, Jim, I'm a hologram, not a doctor! / I'm not a doctor, but I play one in 3d) and can only offer brand-driven medical advice, not actual treatment
• USS Overdrawn, NSF 404
• USS Competition - always being blown up by other Corporation ships
