I'd have to agree with Qunitinius and Virus. Even though the Liberty government "owns" the system, they should still be blissfully ignorant of the pirate bases' locations. I had a similar incident, even though I could have lived if I didn't do something very foolish. An LSF officer met me outside Rochester just as I was undocking. I wish I would have taken a picture of my face because I had the most dumb-founded look trying to think of a RP reason why an LSF officer would know where Rochester was as Liberty Rogue NPCs were pelting him with their hilariously underpowered weapons.
I'm not complaining, and I didn't make a big stink about it at the time, but still.
"The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there."
