I suspect that some folks have looked at the list of Stellvia Corporation's allies and scratched their heads, wondering why some of them were listed. http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?titl ... on#StelOil]Here's a decent reason other than "Yayoi's a Sammie" for the Senshi to be allied with the Stellvians. It's also an answer to the question "just how do we fill the gas tanks on all these flying cars, anyway?"...

(As for StellviaCorp's other allies:

• The Warsies and the Stellvians were next-door neighbors back when they were both First Fen, and Kohran's practice-target drones blow up real good when the Warsies shoot them.
  
• The Blue Blazers work closely with the Nikaido Foundation.
  
• Capitalist StellviaCorp and socialist Soviet Air Force? That pairing makes no sense ... until you realize (a) what they both think of Haruhi, (b) where the Space Patrol's funding comes from, and (c) who the VVS' leader is dating.
  
• The Space Pirates... er... well, Noah is intolerant of ninja... but, yes, I've got to come up with something better than "the 'enemy' of my 'enemy' is my friend" to justify this one.
  

In-universe justifications for four out of five isn't too bad, right?)
