We talk about the faction that possibly damaged the Hispania sleeper ship, but whatever. The Order-DTR love affair is more interesting, but that's only my 2 pennies.
Look, in real life I am from Denmark but lived in England for a while. No-one there held me accountable for my viking ancestors raiding British shores 1,000 years ago.
These 1,000 year animosities that people like to pretend should be a thing in Disco is not only unrealistic, it's downright comedic.
Also, Coalition started out as closely aligned with the Corsairs. If people 15 years ago didn't get their panties in a twist over something that allegedly happened ~830 years ago, I don't see why they should now.
That is also before Corsairs were made responsible for glassing the Coalition Planet when the Phantoms were retconned. And even if it made sense, what the game really doesn't need currently is more hostile factions that group up and become friends.
