They oppose the Blood Dragons, Golden Chrysanthemums and Junkers.

JUSTIFICATION FOR CHANGES:

Spoiler

Impy (JM) contacted me the other day regarding this new ID reform, and wanted to coordinate the Junker and Hogosha IDs to be a foil to each other, universal out of house pirate (except in houses they are outlawed), and minor allies in their Sirius wide alliances (Junkers to the Outcasts, Hogosha to the Corsairs)

He showed me the piracy line that would allow to pirate outside of the houses where they are legal (and not bound by the zoi), which would make the hogosha be able to pirate in places like Bretonia, Omegas and Omicrons, in addition to the current Taus and Sigmas hunting grounds.

In my opinion, the Hogosha influence should not be able to spread that far without a rp development justifying that. In the second version, I did two changes. One was making the piracy zoi bounded, and expanded the said zoi to include the neighbouring houses. The second change that is linked to that is allowing the Hogosha to escort and bounty in the other houses, allowing for escort of Samura ships for example, and the hiring of individual hogosha to perform bounty works for corporations and likeable criminals alike.

Also received a suggestion of putting the description/flavour text at the end of the file, instead of the top, for more immediate access to the crucial elements.
