After being told to "Get a job" on my Xeno, I figgered' that I ought to write up a guide on unlawfuls so that lawfuls know how to properly treat them.
Liberty:
Lane Hackers are mostly dispossessed Ageria workers, and are essentially getting back at the corruption that got them off the job. They are usually pretty nerdy, and cynically intelligent. They are literally the smartest of all unlawfuls. Lawfuls should treat them as more than just pirates, because they are also one of the most technologically forward Liberty pirates. Addicted to Cardamine.
Xenos are unemployed miners who were put off the job by foreign labor in Liberty, and lash out at the corruption that got them like that. They take out their rage on foreigners, essentially being Liberty's Hogosha. Lawfuls should treat them as a credible threat, but still as civilians. Xeno 'Terrorists' are just angry miners.
Usually petty robbers, these guys usually either have two choices: Rob convoys or work in low-pay jobs. Lawfuls ought to treat them as simple criminals, not a syndicate. Because lawfuls don't know how large the Rogues are.
Bretonia:
Mollies are the Gold Miners who were violently oppressed and seceded from Bretonia. Recently, they have begun to branch out of Dublin. I don't know their core lore, but they are still robbers and should be treated as Bretonian Rogues. Also, they are a terrorist group in that they attack anything and everything.- Added by Sprolf.
Gaians are pro-planet 'terrorists' and violently attack Planetform convoys. Thus, treat them as any other unlawful.
Kusari
Hogosha are the most fun faction to play as. Because we're the 'defenders of Kusari', protecting us from the influences of gaijin. We have some underhand deals with KSP / KNF, but they should not stop us from pirating- Amended by Zelot.
Blood Dragons are the revolutionaires of Kusari, seeking to overthrow a overpowerful and corrupt government that is ruled by corporations. As a loyal lawkeeper, pew pew them.
Golden Chrysanthemums are those crazy lesbians who feel affronted by male superiority and use their Estrogen-fueled rage to kill people. Addicted to Cardamine, and are slaved to the Outcasts for it.
Angry Farmers. With pitchforks lashed to their ships. Run. The. Frak. Away.
Rheinland
Bundschuh are a heavily political unlawful group. They are totally committed to overthrowing the cruel government. Thoroughly left-wing and educated, they are pretty much today's liberals in space with guns. Declared an enemy of the state, Rheinland pilots should show a small amount of sympathy, because most of the population does.
LWB, or Landwirtrechtbewegung, is a group much like the Farmers Alliance in that they are angry German farmers with pitchforks mounted on their spaceships. They fight Synth Foods. Kill them as any other dissenting citizen.
Red Hessians are the most organized criminal orginization. Much like the Xenos, Hessians are unemployed miners and raeg at Daumann and Kruger for it.
Unioners are shipworkers no longer on the job. They attack Daumann and Republican frequently. -Amended by Guass 3.2
Now, that was a mouthful. Quick TL;DR-
Liberty / Rheinland - Unemployed, angry people raging at the government who allowed it. Police and Navy should show some sympathy.
Kusari - Extremely dubious. KNF/KSP won't bother Hogosha most of the time, but will open hell's gates to Dragons and GC.
Brets- Mostly just Rogues and Terrorists. Easy.
Hogosha are the most fun faction to play as. Because we're the 'defenders of Kusari', protecting us from the influences of gaijin. We're not strictly legal, but the Navy and Police don't care about us.If they see us pirating a gaijin, they will not interfere. If we're pirating Kishiro, however, they do.
Absolutely wrong, the KNF and KSP should stop any Hogosha or FA they actually see pirating.
You seem to not have Corsairs and Outcasts on your list.
Should they be listed as 'Highly Dangerous, Very Powerful, Will smuggle for money, May place massive bounties on your head when angered'?
That would work.
Oh, and you seem to have left out the Cardi addiction of the Hackers/Chrysanthemums.
Also, Unioners shouldn't posses 'Advanced Ship building knowledge'. They aren't shipbuilders. They are the children of people who screwed hull panels onto ships for the builders.
Oh, and remember to include the SCRA under Rheinland unlawfuls.
I've been mainly based in OC space for.. Ever. My House lore is somewhat spotty. Most of my info came from personal experience, word of mouth, and.. the Wiki. Amending the list. I will not include player factions or OC/Sairs.

We're no revolutionaries, in fact if anyone, it's the Kusari Empire who are the revolutionaries. We're the ones trying to restore it to what it was like before the revolution.
The GC are more revolutionaries. BD are stereotypically loyal, honourable Samurai.

There was no revolution, there was a coup...diffrent things.
Quote:There was no revolution, there was a coup...diffrent things.
Although the coup did revolutionise the ways that Kusari worked - I believe that Kusari will ruled by a shogunate government instead of an empire before (To be confirmed). Either way, the the Kusari Empire's taking over Kusari has lead to a completely new way of Kusarian life and politics.

Many are. Not all of them are. The main player faction is, but last time I checked (shortly after joining, admittedly) that didn't necessarily mean all Hackers were.
