Added DiffLines:

* SufficientlyAdvancedAliens: The Theks have, as far as the lesser races can tell, infinite power. A decree by the Theks is absolute over the FSP and all other beings, and they're capable of wiping out a fleet with a trivial exercise of power. Being SiliconBasedLife, though, they don't have much to do with lesser beings except in the event of a major crisis, or their own interests being affected.

* SpacePirates: As you might expect from the series title. They evade the scale problems by mainly hitting settlements and ships near planets. They also go a step further in many cases, being PlanetLooters who will enslave and/or kill the inhabitants of a colony world, then settle their own people on it.

Sassinak talks about a fanservice-heavy movie series about a gorgeous ActionGirl that she watched as a kid and mentions that now that she's older, she thinks it's rather unlikely that a girl who was raised as a slave in a mining colony would grow up to have the body of a supermodel, or that said girl could climb up a sheer cliff in the buff and reach the top looking like she'd just come back from the spa.

* {{Veganopia}}: Vegetarianism is legally mandated by The Federation, to such a strict degree that omnivorous species must unanimously swear off meat or be kicked out of the FSP. However, fish are eaten on colony worlds, while the heavyworlders and Seti ignore the rule on their own worlds. "Don't ask, don't tell" seems to be the effective rule.
