hmm.. in general this seems to be a good analogy.  I don't know how the
Federation works in specific situation (I assume you mean in Trek), so I
don't know how far the analogy goes.
I view the Trek Federation as having a very defined control over the member
units, and I DON'T want the Hexadyne Consortium to exercise that kind of
control over other .space companies, so there is one big difference.

BTW, I was wondering how youi got the name Hexadyne, Hex means six. How many
groups do we have right now?? :)

I think when I first thought up the name, I used it because I liked the
sound of it.  I was probably a little influenced by the company that was in
the movie "Buckaroo Banzai in the Fifth Dimension"  My memory is failing me
right now, but I think it was called Hyperdyne.
I used hex for a few reasons... one of them is that there are six main
sections in the Guildlaw for shipbuilding:
Structural
Powerplant
Thrusters
Life Support
Control Systems
Options

cheers!
