The power of money at work ^ ^ When your economical weight is big enough, there's no shortage of capable allies to watch your back, especially since many of them have considerable investments at stake.

What is the Technocracy exactly ? Where does it find the resources to finance something as costy as mass production of self-healing combat automatons, since tax money seems out of the question ? I mean, even free-of-charge manufacturing must have a (rather impressive) cost, doesn't it ? Such advanced military technology is made of valuable materials after all.

Finally, how does the Coalition get along with the Eapaln Federation ? They have virtually opposite societal values ("all hail the omniscient AI shapping everyone's destiny for the greater good !" - this one must give the Coalition a physical allergy ^ ^;) but seeing the picture I suppose that's just the kind of moments where the Realpolitik trope applies in full force.
