* An interesting variant shows up in ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'': the Republic and the Sith are very much openly at war with each other, but both sides are dependent on trade with the neutral planet of Manaan, which supplies a unique and very valuable mineral used in medical supplies that neither army can do without. Thus, both the Republic and the Sith maintain a military presence and an embassy on Manaan, but have to avoid direct conflict lest the government cut off trade with the aggressor, and many of the quests on the planet are outright illegal acts of espionage against the Sith. |

* Heavily implied to be the sole purpose of Ravens' NEST in ''[Armored Core]]'' (and its later incarnations: ''Nerves Concord, Global Cortex'' and ''Raven's Ark''). When Companies are strong enough to wield walker mechs, floating battleships and everything in-between, only skilled, non-affiliated [[Guns For Hire|Ravens]] can keep or even ''enforce'' a level playing field between feuding Companies. This is subverted in later incarnations of Armored Core 3 timeline, where the then Raven organization, Ravens' Ark, was, in essence, "bought" by Companies, triggering the conflict in Last Raven. |
