Sorry for being harsh, but can we, please, leave SW universe alone? For the matter of fact just leave all other well-known sci-fi universes alone. We're talking about a game, a game universe. And I seriously don't get that 'advanced' statement. It's a different universe, period. Sounds like you're really comparing apples and oranges, good job. Stop comparisons. Seriously, get over with it, or make a new thread (preferably in flood section) and discuss similarities all the way you want.
It's not that they are "highly unlikely related", they are unrelated completely. It's a Freelancer, folks, not SW and SW galaxy isn't far away, it's just not there.
Unit-sk855 did a great job on that "research post" and you just come in and hijack it with your "sw vong nonsense"... that's not nice in my opinion.
