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.
