Well, You have to trade with starfaring nations, and you're (esp the
CNP) not going to want to leave it all to non-native corpies. Then you
have to defend your trade routes. Some nations export mercenaries as well as
goods, requiring FTL capable ships and space combat
capabilities. There are a host of reasons for having FTL - and military
FTL at that - with a one-planet power. TTN military ships, as an
example, are about half-60% sublight, the rest FTL capable. I have quite

a small fleet for it, as it's truly a minor power, but they do have one
capital ship, FTL capable.
