Finally caught up with all the new text...
KJ mentioned an idea of turning some worlds in the Draconis combine into some cyberpunk like setting because they grabbed Fen factory tech... this would mix interestingly with my idea that CI could move out with the RR to Rasalhague and help there building up modern infrastructure (and teaching people the basics of it).
A group of companies getting their hand on a "self-replicating" factory (self-replicating with the necessary working force and enough time) working together with a few local system governors (or just bribing them with lots of money) could trigger some interesting effects on the economic landscape of these planets.
