'This time the Trans-Penine Duo of Kehaar and Grampus look at Corporate Empires in geek fiction - mainly focusing on Weyland-Yutani from the Aliens Franchaise but also looking at such things as RDA (Avatar), Lunar Industries (Moon) as well as Pirates of the Carribbean, Jennifer Government, Lexcorp and others.
We also look at such real world examples of self governing corporate colonies as the East India Company, Cecil Rhodes and International Africa Association.
We then look at the narrative role these Empires perform and what treatment the Corprorate Empire could undergo in the future. There may be some spoilers. Enjoy
