Aa. We've got a ruling class back on my world known as the Nobles... a bunch of stuck-up assholes who trade other species because they're bored. You get branded by them, you're a slave, no matter where you came from. And they'll use the World Government as their attack dogs while they horde all the wealth.
It's why there's a lot of pirates running around on my world. Half of 'em want riches and freedom, don't get me wrong, but it's a middle finger to the system that doesn't give a shit about us.

I can't blame anyone for wanting either of those things - it's up to the people how they choose to make their lives meaningful.
I just can't ever respect others who have to stomp on the hopes and dreams of innocents in order to get what they want.
