you wont realy have any reason to go in corsair space unless theres a bounty.
but if you go in there for whatever reason, youll be forced to shoot at them, since they will be shooting at you for sure.
they dont like bounty hunters.
regarding to the lore - the corsairs are of no concern for the BHG core ( the warships ) - the warships race for nomad technology with the order.
for that - the order is "defending" this technology, - holding it back to only provide "responsible" people with the knowledge. - the BHG has a much more liberal point of view there. - that is... the highest bidding party gets what is offered.
so - no, the BHG is not fighting the order... but the order is standing in the way between the nomad technology and the BHG - so they are battled. - there is ( or was ) no "personal grudge" against the order from the BHG side - now that they have been fighting for quite some time - the conflict might have gained its own dynamics though.
about the BHG fighting the corsairs.... - usually, the BHG considers the corsairs to be a nuicance, dangerous, but not serious. - they go after them in their heavy fighters ( hammerheads ).
the exception is omicron-delta. - a system that is shared by multiple factions...
the zoners with a base
the corsairs with an outpost
the order who have a very close jumphole to their homesystem
the nomads that have a remote jumphole to their guard system
the navy that has no base or any installation there, but regular patrols
the BHG that ( still ) uses the zoner freeport but has put effords into establishing a more "permanent" bridgehead there.
so - in this system, the core does meet the corsairs. - but notice how the order are enemies to the BHG. they are enemies cause they "stand between the BHGs targets and the BHG itself" . the corsairs do not need to defend the nomad technology against misuse - and so ... they don t really get in the way, - hence they are no "natural target".
if however the corsairs affect the effords of the BHG in a detrimental way - the BHG would certainly strike back - but only reluctantly, cause fighting against 3 enemies weakens even a powerful warfleet.
in terms of power, the BHG might be the singlemost powerful warfleet there, the corsairs deploy an almost as powerful fleet there - but they only have an outpost there to supply the ships they send through kappa from tripoli.
the order is always short on people - and so they might overwhelm others technologicly - but not by numbers... they simply cannot afford to loose as much as the BHG. - the nomads may or may not still be weakened from the recent war. - but they are the focus of all.
without the nomads, there d not be a BHG / order war - and the BHG would not have had the need to deploy warships.

Well, I think Jinx has a good point. However, I also see yours.
