Mention to Solar-Brigands relations, as in your current ID (I think), will soon be changed to Solar-Gallic Junkers to fit in better with the Gallic quasi/unlawful split that's in the process of being more defined.
The reasons are fairly simple. Brigands are allies with the Maquis and Unione Corse, two of your main enemies. They also ship the bulk of the Hypnotainment Bands that the Corse hack, which you really, really hate. On the other hand, Gallic Junkers privateer in Bretonia for the GRN and are hostile with the Maquis, Council, and Corse.
It's something I've discussed with a few guys who know some more guys and it'll probably get changed in the next update. This is just a rumor though.
Anyway, aside from all that, it'll be great to see some more people in Gallia. And more people who will shoot at us on a regular basis. Good change from the Outcasts, too. I look forward to seeing this faction in space!
"You see what your knowledge tells you you're seeing. ... how, what you think the universe is, and how you react to that in everything you do, depends on what you know. And when that knowledge changes, for you, the universe changes. And that is as true for the whole of society as that is for the individual. We all are what we know, today. What we knew yesterday, was different; and so were we."
