Slig Forces...

You know how Mudos is extreamly privertised and probly has no central government? And you know how instead of a central police force each company has a Slig sercurity force?...
Well do you think that the companys would ever fight wars or battles with each other using their Sligs? And if they did do you think they would have a different sort of slig class that would do that sort of fighting other then the enforcing Big Bros that come for their Slig Sercrity Forces?...
... I think there would be, and I think it would be a Slig company like structure in itself... Groups of Slig mercenries that are basicly smart sligs with very big gun, and they know how to use 'em... They might not always be like Big Bros, but they would be much more capible at everything they do because they get all the profits from killing for themselfs and then spend it on gear like better pants.
There may even be a intermedete between the Slig Secrity Forces and the Slig Mecenries... The Slig Bountty Huntters.

Well firstly, if you're talking about wars between such companies as SoulStorm Mining Company and FeeCo, then forget it. All these companies belong to one Cartel, the Magog Cartel, which is under the operation of Lady Margaret. Any knock at an allie is a knock at yourself.

If you're talking about wars between such companies as the Magog Cartel and the Vykkers Conglomerate, then yes, there are wars going on between them. But the wars are physical, there are no soldiers or fighters, there is no battle. Only competition to get the most consumers. And since the Vykkers and the Glukkons endorse slightly different products, wars would be rather pointless.

Thirdly, if you think either Glukkons or Vykkers are going to waste their resources on killing each other, then you're wrong. The Cartel and the Conglomerate, although vastly different and mostly opposed to each other, will always provide a potential link and potential siding. Also, the two companies support each other. Vykkers use Glukkon product openly, and vice versa.

And if you think Sligs are going to either gradly go into battle against their fellow Sligs or be tactically smart, you're wrong again. A Slig would get itself confined to a cell before it killed its buddies, unless it was a direct order from a high ranking executive or a matter of life or death.

And so on. Sorry.
