<ul><li> | <ul><li>This is the last stop for us on our Artifact run from our homeland. Maybe one day you could run Artifacts for the Corsairs. It's dangerous but pays very well. If those aren't two things that interest you then I'm wasting my time talking to you. Just make sure to stay clear of those Red Hessians. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>Once we drop our Artifacts here, the fun begins. We raid the Trade Lanes here in Bretonia to supply our bases back home along the Edge Worlds. Before we discovered that we could make such a nice profit from selling the Artifacts, we lived solely by raiding. Bretonia is a relatively easy place to raid, compared to Rheinland or the Sigmas. The police here are not very skilled fighters, and the military are too preoccupied with a war. The only worthy opponents here are a few Bounty Hunters. <p> | ||

<li> | <li>There are Outcasts on this base. They arrived in Sirius on the same ship as us - the Hispania, but they refused to join us on Crete. Now they are just like everyone else - targets. It's not that we don't like them, but that won't stop us from taking one of their shipments or putting them in the airlock. Somehow I doubt those masks they wear would save them from that. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>Bretonia offers many tempting targets. We soon realized that we didn't need to buy the Gold from the Junkers; we could go steal it ourselves from the Mollys and IMG. Once we dispose of the Mollys, the Bretonian underworld will be ours - the Gaians aren't a threat to our presence here. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>You could run reinforcement supplies to our base in Cadiz if you want to gain favor with the Corsairs. We need H-Fuel and Engine Components there to continue fighting the Red Hessians in Omega-5. The easiest way to get there is to use a jump hole in Cambridge. That is how we get into Bretonia too. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>The Trujillo stumbled into a gas pocket in the old Somerset mining area during the early days of Corsair incursion in the New London system. The ship was lost deep inside the hazard area. Several attempts were made to rescue the Artifacts it carried, but to no avail. <p> | ||

<li> | <li>Avoiding the attention of the Corsairs involves trading them the goods they need. It's like a bribe we get paid for. The problem has been Bretonia moving into the area in force. With the BPA patrolling heavily, we're having to be much more careful with the few trade ships we send to Freeport 1. We try to make sure we're either not seen, or use unmarked freighters. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>I've heard that an interested party in Omega 3 is paying the Corsairs to target certain Bretonian developments. Some drunk Corsairs were discussing it on Cadiz - I don't think they knew I could hear. I'll have to keep my ear to the ground to find out more. <p> | ||

This is the last stop before entering House space, so everyone rests, refuels, and enjoys a little brotherhood before making a dash through the BAF patrols.

<li> | <li>Omega-5 is the site of a full scale war between the Corsairs and Hessians. The two factions are vying for control of this critical Jump Hole crossroads in the Omega Sector. Within the area of the no-man's-land and the Hammen Hole are numerous dead ships from both sides. Most are picked clean, but there are some that may still yield some weapons.<p> | ||

<li> | <li>This is the Corsair forward sector. From here we organize raiding parties that venture into Cambridge and New London to resupply our bases with stolen goods.

<li> | <li>This system is a war zone between Corsairs and Hessians. Thousands have died in the conflict. You'll find debris strewn throughout the system from destroyed ships lost to both sides.

<ul><li> | <ul><li>I miss the old brawls with some of the Outcasts on Yanagi. Sure, their Cardamine mutations give them greater stamina and quicker healing, but that just means you have to punch them a bit harder. More fun that way.

<li> | <li>The Hogosha are our strongest ally, and they handle most, if not all, of our Kusari interests. They have considerable leeway to move Artifacts through Kusari space, which is good for us. I hear they even take them as far as Liberty. They have an understanding with Samura, so we avoid hitting Samura transports as often. Every once in a while we mock-raid one to keep up appearances. Kishiro and GMG ships are prey, like the rest. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | |||
<li>We've reached some understandings with the Unioners of late. We'll see how that goes, I'm not wholly trustful of any Rheinlander. Least of all those who are known to deal in Hessian Tears. Still, if they want to profit from the Artifact trade, let them. Another route into Liberty for those doesn't hurt us. <p> | |||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>We get the odd Zoners in here. They prefer to stay out of the house systems. Usually they're just picking up Light Arms and Consumer Goods for their Freeport out there in Omicron Theta. They'll trade those for Food and other basics, so we don't need to haul those ourselves as much. That lot likes living on the ragged edge, and you'll find it in the Omicron systems. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>Lagos may not be the most elegant piece of work, but it suits our needs. From here, we have an alternate way to trade Artifacts with the Hogosha, who can take them to Kusari and beyond. We also trade with the Unioners, who can take them into and through Rheinland, without the constant Hessian harassment in Omegas. Of course, there is the GMG to deal with here instead. <p> | ||

Line 638: | Line 656: | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>Welcome to our little corner of hell. When the GMG decided to force the Junkers out, probably to try and cut off our route to Rheinland, we were forced to make other arrangements. We built this base to keep the Artifact routes open, but it's also a convenient place to launch a raid on the Trade Lanes from. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>There are several groups with an interest in this region. The GMG lay claim to this space and run frequent patrols, mostly around the Trade Lanes and their Gas Mining platforms. The Hogosha, Unioners and Junkers come here to buy artifacts. Recently, the Outcasts have also become more numerous in the region, probably peddling their drugs to Rheinland and Kusari. The Golden Chrysantemums are sometimes seen with them. Last, there's the Blood Dragons who seem to enjoy a good brawl. No shortage of foes in this space, but that is nothing new to a Corsair. <p> | ||

<li>There | <li>There's a Hole from Sigma-17 into this area not far from the base. The route back to Crete goes through there, and Omicron Theta. The Gas Miners have patrols throughout the area, and Bounty Hunters also prowl about, but overall it's not that hard to reach home from here. <p> | ||

</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>We sell the Artifacts directly to the Hogosha. There was a time when we went through the GMG, but it is always more profitable to cut out the middleman. That has annoyed those Gas Miners a lot, but that's not my problem. I brought my Artifacts from Alcudia, in Omicron Lambda. <p> | ||

<li> | <li>The Alien Artifacts we sell to the Hogosha here come mostly from Crete, but they can be found on a lot of planetary fragments and asteroids as well. We don't know how they got there, and frankly, don't care. These trinkets have no value to us, but they are worth their weight in gold in the houses.

<ul><li> | <ul><li>Hola, Senor. Are you by chance the pilot of the transport that just delivered our newest contingent of, ah, shall we say, workers? Munitions manufacturing is a dangerous and exhausting occupation, there's no doubt of that. We burn through workers like an Outcast through cardamine. Ah, well, what I mean to say is, our workers rotate back out to their homes frequently. While here, they are well paid and well treated, I assure you. Let me offer you a drink.<p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>Slavery? How can you say such things, Senor? Slavery is not only illegal within the Empire, it is a terrible and wicked crime. You must not repeat such accusations. If those words reach the wrong ears it could mean great trouble for us here. Not that have done anything wrong, but you know what bureaucratic investigations are like. We have production deadlines to meet here. The Outcasts are the slavers, not noble and honorable Corsairs. Forced prison labor is not slavery. It is justice and a righteous penance for their offenses.<p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>The war with the Red Hessians in Omega-5 has cost the Corsairs many ships and pilots. Death is the way of the Corsair, so the lost pilots are regrettable yet acceptable. Much worse is the loss of their ships, which are often passed from one generation to the next. This shipyard is constantly running at full operational capacity to build new fighters for the front. <p><p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>We get many different goods and basic supplies from the Freeports in nearby zones. Often times it is easier to buy what we need with Artifact income than to steal it. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>In 450 AS we captured our first ship. It was the Rheinland exploration vessel <i>Schiller</i>. Once we dispatched the crew the ship was ours, and more inner colony ships began to disappear. The Corsairs had begun a legacy that lasts to this day. We are pirates; we take what we need. <p><p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>Alright, Senor. I'll admit that not all of our munitions workers are here voluntarily. But those are mainly criminals of the worst sort who are paying their debt to the Empire by building munitions to defeat our enemies. Or, some of them are Hessian dogs or Mollys, that is why you see some of them arriving in shackles. I love the irony of that: they must now labor to build the munitions that will defeat their compatriots!<p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>This battleship is the only thing that protects this nebula cloud from being overrun by the Red Hessians. It's originally designed by the Order, so it's stealthy enough to move within the cloud undetected and beat the Hessians at their own game. They have tried to destroy it by organised assault more times than I can count, but they keep failing because of the cloud density and this ship's stealth mode.<p> <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li>We | <li>We bring a lot of Dublin gold and Cambridge food through this route all the way to Crete. This is why this jump hole is so well defended: we can't let our enemies disrupt this lifeline. This ship is what makes it all possible.<p> <p> | ||

<li> | <li>Within the Malvadas Cloud you'll find a Jump Hole leading to Omicron Theta. There is another Jump Hole in this system in the Walker Cloud. Be careful, there are mines scattered among the carbon asteroids, but once past those you'll come upon the Jump Hole to Omega-41. <p><p> | ||

</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||

<li> | <li>We traveled to Sirius on a sleeper ship like everyone else. Our ship, the <i>Hispania</i>, fell victim to sabotage en route. We were forced to abandon her and make our way through the void. We found this planet with barely enough supplies to feed half of us. Few crops would grow in these infertile sands, and our numbers dwindled to almost nothing. <p><p> | ||

<li>The | <li>The Corsairs are consolidated into family lines that are brought together and strengthened by marriage. Our society is a closed one; we do not wish to dilute our blood with the seeds of weaker men. It is possible to fly with the Corsairs and to be trusted by us, but an outsider will never marry into the families of Crete. <p><p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>There is a legend that a secret Jump Hole lies at the center of the Graveyard of the Innocents in the Malvada Cloud. A young Corsair completing his adulthood initiation rites stumbled across it while trying to find his Artifact. He entered it and emerged in an uncharted system. Strange alien ships soon appeared in the distance, and he fled for his life back to known territory. Few people believe the story. <p><p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li>The | <li>The first outsider accepted by the Corsairs was a freelancer named John Bown. He fought several of our best pilots when he entered the system, so he was able to pass. He left with a cargo bay full of Artifacts, and that is when trade began. Our economy flourished, allowing us to feed more of our people. <p> | ||
</li><hr> | </li><hr> | ||
<li> | <li>The Zoners at Freeport 5 and Freeport 9 have access to many of the supplies we use at this base. In exchange for the Oxygen and Water we have in abundance here we are able to get all manner of goods. <p> | ||

<li> | <li>The Malvada Nube serves as the key adult initiation ritual within the close families of the Corsairs. Young pilots must fly a stripped ship into the cloud, find an Artifact, and return safely to Crete. Almost 30% never return. The radiation levels are high, and it is rumored that there are strange beings that guard the best areas. By tradition, a lost trainee's ship and body are never recovered, just left as a reminder to future generations of failure's cost.<p> | ||

Makes em scared and scared Rogues are scary Rogues. They'll cut you soon as look you. Just in case that's what the boss wants. Makes living here kinda erratic.<p> | ||

<li> | <li>Most Rogues enjoy a good brawl, but things often get messy. After the last brawl in the bar, I was in Medical for weeks with three busted ribs. Three ribs from one punch! Thank God he wasn't using his knife...<p> | ||

I was proficient at sharing my knowledge of operating all the previous warships' the interior systems, but applying that knowledge to future Tribunus personnel is a whole different challenge. They're using technology I've never seen before - and I’ve been in this business for a long time. I suppose I’ll get used to it eventually, but it feels like I’m learning the trade all over again.<p> | ||

ENEMIES:
Red Hessians, Outcasts, Blood Dragons, Coalition, Mollys, GMG, The Core, House Authorities, House Corporations
Considered by many to be the largest criminal organization in Sirius, the Corsairs inherit one half of the legacy of the Sleeper Ship Hispania. They have developed into a quasi-nation of raiders and pirates, targeting civilian and military targets with reckless abandon as they plunder the border worlds. While they spar with their Outcast brethren over territory and historic grievances, their bloodiest conflict to-date has been that with the Red Hessians, as neither side dares to give up ground in the resource-rich Omegas.
