HISTORY OF CORSAIRS

35 A.S - Escape pods from Sleeper Ship Hispania land on Crete.

35-51 A.S - The arid and mountainous terrain of planet Crete turns out to be unsuitable for agriculture. A famine and fighting over the dwindling supplies follows.

51 A.S - The Council of Elders is formed as a council of rivaling clans and groups which emerged during the famine. They resolve to cannibalizing the weaker groups.

51-450 A.S - A ruthless and violent clan-based society evolves, without fixed laws, using violence over resources as a means to keep the population low.

450 A.S - A Rheinland expedition mapping the Walker Nebula enters Omicron Gamma. Expedition members are massacred when making planetfall on Crete and the mothership "Schiller" is captured.

454-500 A.S - Corsairs begin attacking weaker Rheinland and Bretonian outposts, plundering them for equipment and supplies, using their secret jumphole in the nebula to escape.

500-572 A.S - Corsairs develop a shipline suitable for raiding tactics. The alien artifacts found in the omicrons become trophies that daring pilots bring home despite the ghostly blue aliens guarding them.

800 A.S – Nomads attempt to overtake Sirius, but Corsairs remain relatively unaffected.

802 A.S – Nomad-infested humans from Rheinland called "The Wild" begin to populate uncharted omega systems. Corsairs ally with Order forces seeking refuge in the Omicrons so the can obtain their technology.
