The Maquis have never really had any sort of economic base. They are, as the comparison has been made, the Xenos or Gaians of Gallia, supplied and funded by sympathizers and higher ups (the corsairs.) That said, the Maquis could possibly find a way to get on friendly terms with Corse and attack outcasts in return for supplies and access to trade routes, in addition to making high risk routes from Champagne to Rousillon
The Maquis don't have their own ships (they use Council ones), but their guns are actually pretty nice. As for a commodity, Nuclear Devices are a favorite of theirs.
Kaizer, the Maquis aren't Xenos. They don't have a hatred for foreigners, just anyone who likes the Gallic Crown, and especially the Gallic Crown itself. Gaians ... not really that, either. They're also already on "friendly terms", or actually rather allied, with the Corse, so there's no need to find a way to get there. By lore, the Corse covertly supply them with stuff like Oil and basic repair commodities and they probably coordinate strikes on Solar Engineering/GJ as well.
Naturally I wasn't attempting to say they were exactly the same, just making a comparison to other House Terrorist IDs, to the extent of which the vast majority of their funds come from outside the group. They're analogous, not homologous is my point I guess.
