There is a lot of talk about salvaging the Republic. That is not the likely to happen the way most people think or wish it should happen.

The Corporate Holy Sea, which answers to a superior off world "Heavenly" Corporate Holy Sea, owns it all with no exceptions. There is no recourse through any system because they own the recourse.

With that said.

Possession, of something, seems to be inadequately understood.

Possession is not some fraction or percent or other portion of law. Possession -is- the law.

Possession is not concerned with good or evil.

Possession means that a thing cannot be taken from you. If a law or legality can take it then you do not actually posses it. The same applies concerning force, deceit or any other means whereby a thing can be taken from you.

If you actually possess something then laws, legalities, force, deceptions and all else that would or could separate you from that thing are meaningless. It does not matter how you came to posses a thing; if you can keep it, nothing withstanding, then it is yours.

Possession is the raw, bloody, brutal bottom line that underlies all of existence. It is the savage growling “MINE!!!” with absolutely no regard for any artifice, sophistry or other gilding that high minded civilization uses to soften reality in pretense of keeping it's hands clean.

Possession is a death threat and a willingness to deal death should hand be extended towards a thing you posses. Anything less is to answer compliance to commands of master and owner of that thing you would posses.

Possession is after the fact of purchase. Purchase is to get something by some means. When moral, lawful, legal transaction is not possible then other action is recourse.

Possession is right, loss is wrong. When the game reaches this level there are no civilized standards.

I f you have lost something and you wish it back you have to make purchase.

If you have lost a Republic and you wish it back you have to make purchase.

If you have lost a planet and you wish it back you have to make purchase.
