Good guys?
I don't think anyone is suggesting for a moment that Corsairs are 'good guys' by any stretch of the imagination.
I think what might be getting suggested is that from a moral standpoint, they are superior to the Coalition.
Piracy from need rather then want. Corsairs have some limited resources and one export which the rest of Sirius see as contraband. The contraband in question does no harm (as they have been checked and declared 'dead') and so it begs the question, where did it all go wrong?
The Coalition on the other hand admit that they are the reason a large chunk of humanity were forced to flee to Sirius. Why such a large chunk of humanity were forced to leave their homeworld and became dispossesed. Why they cannot return (currently). They are responsible for sabotaging sleeper ships, doing everything they could to kill as many of the current inhabitants of Sirius as possible. Not workers. Not military. EVERYONE.
Approximately four or so years ago, the SCRA was run by a

For the last line read 'everyone else'.
All this information is available in your history document. I am aware it says 'outdated' but clearly, the history part is true because it's 'history' which is automatically 'outdated' by default.
Anyway, theres plenty more 'gems' in there if you care to look.
The Coalition that exists now is clearly a terrorist organisation attacking the heart and soul of various houses. Killing police and military targets isn't going to make you popular. Those sailors have mothers/wifes/children you know.
Communist, socialist?
Do you think the 'people' really care when you represent the Coalition that is responsible for the exodus?
The single most important historical date in the lives of all Sirians?
Do they 'respect' you for killing their sons or daughters, husbands or wifes?
Do they give a damn about your social/politcal aspirations while you are shooting them?
It doesn't matter how you dress it up does it?
Anyway, I thought this thread was about ID's which to be fair, I thought Mr Lens answered rather well a few pages ago.
