---History---

Lopez Familia is a family in a Corsair Empire. The Corsairs social structure is simple: all Corsairs consolidated into family lines that are brought together and strengthened by marriege. It is very closed structure, which prevents any outsider to be Corsair. So if you are a Corsair - you are true blooded Hispanic. Corsairs dont want to ''delure their blood with the seeds of weaker man''.

As in all other Houses, people tend to take power in their hands. All families in Corsairs is lead by one person - Don. He is head and heart of any family. Some of Dons becomes Elders - rulers of Corsair Empire. Right now, Don Lopez is not an Elder. But there were at least 5 Lopez Elders in a past. Two of them were very good persons - Elder Rolando (50 years as Elder) and Elder Adrian (46 years as Elder). When they were in Council of Elders they made many good to Empire, such as saving people from hunger (sacrifice of Ventru line to feed other families), opening Artifact trade with Junkers and Hogosha, making some alliances and building Cadiz and Tripoly. Despite on very hard start for a Corsairs in Sirius, they survived because of good rulers and fortune.

Lopez Familia lost most of its good reputation because of their last Elder. Elder Jose Lopez betrayed Empire, when sold some valuable information to Hessians and Outcasts, which lead to capturing of Casablanca base by Hessian marine ships and destruction of one Corsairs installation in Omicron Eta by Outcast capital fleet. Many of other families lost their respect to Lopez, even after Jose Lopez was found on Freeport 1 and killed by Lopez warriors when he tried to ran off to Rheinland territory. Rumor has it that after the incident the Benitez were able to take over a more influencial position in the Council of Elders, something previously held by the Lopez Familia. That caused even more problems between families. Many years passed and other Corsairs calmed down, but this dark times in Lopez Familia should not be forgotten so soon.

Most of Corsairs have threir own tasks to do, unless one of commanders gives another job. Lopez Familia is one of most versatile groups. Pilots of that family doing all types of missions - from patroling and artifact smuggling to making raids for supplies and war operations. They can be found in all systems that Corsairs claimed as their territory. Warriors of Lopez Familia is skilled, numerous and patriotic. If Lopez can make any good to Empire - he shall do it, even if he will die after it. As Corsairs sayes: ''Life of a Corsair is death''.

Lopez Familia had an Outpost in Omega 47, hidden in asteroids and nebula in then sector 5H. This was also a storage of a Gold and some other goods that were stolen from Bretonia and nearby systems. When family had base almost full they brought some transports to deliver all cargo to Crete and Tripoly. Right after all transports were full and base were empty scanners showed some Hessians approaching. Base set an alarm and all warriors toke thir ships and launched into space. Hessians had much more firepower, so many pilots got killed very fast. Suddenly some more Battleships uncloaked right near Outpost, and was able to breach its defence. All Lopez pilots were able to run and base crew evacuated. Luckily all Transports was unharmed, so all cargo was delivered to safety. All survivors made their way to Lopez Familia ''Osiris'' and left Outpost. Hessians blew it apart and left. Base were lost, but at least most of people and goods saved.

In current times Lopez Familia contunues to serve its Empire. While Don Lopez is busy with political part, his son Ronaldo leads its warriors in patrols, raids and wars. No matter how many pilots dies in process. If one death will make two lives to be better - it is worh it. Viva la Crete! Viva la Corsairs!
