Darkspace/Pirates
From EncyClanPedia
Another non-player character faction in Darkspace who spawn from revolted shipyards or other instanced locations. They also are not currently implemented into the game as a major element, although they as well are occasionally spotted scouting systems that are sparesly populated.
Throughout human history, there are always those who decide to break the laws and prey on the weak and isolated. As human trade went into space, piracy followed with it. Though the UGTO classify both the ICC and the marauders as 'pirates', the ICC shun these raiders, and the ICC Navy often clashes with pirate fleets. There are pirate bases scattered throughout the human quadrant, but it is rumored that pirates have a sort of 'home base', a refuge where pirates from all corners of human space can come and interact, without the various pirate factions coming to blows.
Pirate ships are typically lightly armored but fast, made for hit and run operations. Though pirates usually prey on merchants and civilian vessels, pirate fleets have been known to attack a small or isolated UGTO or ICC fleet. On a few occasions, they've even won.
