 I would say that the
 Solomani Party has to tread *very* carefully, anywhere
 inside the Imperium. If it advocates violent opposition to
 Imperial rule, that's treason or at least sedition and
 neither of those are protected under "local
 autonomy."

Yeah, there's lots of fodder for plot hooks there.

One thing I remember from one of those later CT LBB Adventures was that the SolParties were still very racist & an issue had arisen concerning the 'purity' of a local leader's 'bloodline'. Rumor was, <gasp!>, there just might be some Vilani 'contamination' in there!  Uh, Oh....
