I thought Greeks were mostly Corsairs, not Outcasts, but eh...


Rest is awesome.

To everyone else complaining about Greeks and human rights, well guys, these ones are goddamn Spartans and Byzantines, not effeminate Athenians

I couldn't find any stable information regarding Greeks and their allocation in either the corsairs and the Outcasts. I wonder if I am legitimate to believe whether or not this is the first proper mention of greeks in anything OC/Corsair related.

If you could however point me to any information pools, I'd greatly appreciate that.


And well said about the Greeks and human rights. We don't incorporate just the ancient hellenistic touch, but we add a lot of Byzantine as well ( the Varangian, the themes, the phanariote like approach )

However, I must say that despite its democracy, Athens also had slavery as far as I know. I do admit it didn't equalize the level of Spartan's, though

Well, the Corsair home planet is called "Crete", right?
Also, other Greek place names, Skiros in the same system, Skiros is a small island, Tripoli wich, I think, is a town in Morea/Peloponnese. On to neighbouring systems, like Thira Colony, after the island of Thera, I suppose, planet Lesbos in Omega-91, Lesbos is another Greek island, Rhodes shipyard, in the same system, Rhodes is another one, and pretty much everything in Omicron-94.
Corsairs are, in theory, the most Greek ones, though I still don't understand why Corsair characters are always Spanish or even Hispanic Americans.

Ahh, if that's the case... Well I must admit I didn't take names into consideration, because if I would had personally followed the logic of associating the names of the planets/systems with their historical real life counterparts, I would have associated Outcasts and Malta with Carthage, Byzantine Empire, the Arabs and ultimately then... the italians.

Mainly because it was kind of traded between the Carthaginians, Phoenicians, Romans, then Byzantines, Arabs, you had Knights of Malta, Napoleon, and that...

( But hey, you have Byzantine Empire )

But, my point is, that it would be improper to follow the names and their association to real life history.

However, I must do admit that the Corsair stations/planet you mentioned are closer related to Greece than Malta so you are kind of right there
