Xenos are not just angry miners, Xenos are that plus some, it's long since gone past "treated as civilians" Xenos are political extremists. The basic goal of the Xeno movement, although we in the XA like to call ourselves The Knights of Labor, is to return Liberty to a labor based economy, so re-opening the mines and pits on Houston and Pittsburgh, only buying Liberty produced goods where possible, how they achieve this is by wrecking any convoys going out or coming into Liberty. Angry civilians don't explode traders, The Knight's do. Being a Xeno is not about shooting the Navy and cops all the livelong day, it's not about the Junkers, it's about the politics. We ARE Terrorists, our politics are horrendous to normal people, but do we care? Hell no.
We aren't anything like the Hogosha and we ain't that xenophobic, so long as you stay on your side of the fence. We can get along fine just so long as you're over there and we're over here. Just ask the AFA.
So please do your homework before writing things like this.

As Del said, We are much much more than "angry" miners. So to explain. I will quote some of the Xeno History.
The Xeno movement has it's roots on what used to be the two prime blue collar worlds, Pittsburgh and Houston, rich in mineral deposits. Time was when folks would work on mining them, smelting the ores and shipping them off to other places within Liberty to turn them into components for ships and other useful things.
That all begin to change however when Liberty began thinking more about its wallet than its people. New technologies from foreign houses were invented and instead of the great Ageira and Deep Space Engineering offering money for the license to manufacture these they simply fired a bunch of workers and bought the items direct, cutting out the middleman, the Liberty man. Then other houses began quick mining programs, disrupting the delicate balance of the planets they mined, they were able to mine and smelt minerals for less than Liberty.
Liberty became more about the mighty credit than ever before, laying off thousands of workers on both her mineral planets as they caved into the corporate pressure. These workers were skilled metallurgists, miners, fabricators and more besides. They had given their lives to make Liberty great and now they'd been betrayed. Some turned to comforts like drink and drugs, others rebuilt what they could of their shattered lives and got menial jobs for a fraction of what they had been earning before. The younger generation did not however. They could not stand by and watch as their father's and grandfather's were reduced to nothing by a corrupt and uncaring government. So they turned to protesting, to demanding the injustice be set right and for their troubles they got beaten, rounded up and thrown in Huntsville. Those that were not captured ran, procuring vessels and weapons they headed out to the asteroid fields, thee dark matter clouds, anywhere they could to escape the persecution. It would take them many years to get properly organised, but in that time they grew.
This is why the Xenos are angry!!

If you're an independent trader just running things around Liberty and we recognise that, we'll leave you well alone. But the law is an ass and the corps are corrupt and the pirates are all drug peddling gits. What's not to hate about them?
