Well, the thing is, the Pirates never know, and the BHG are essentially lawful because they never know. How are the Pirates supposed to know information that would be Out of Character for them to know? I don't think they should, because that would be powergaming on both the BHG and Pirate side, in opinion.
Also, in the described situation, there is actually an offer for the LH to gain money by killing Mercs, Freelancers, and BHG in Magellan. Check the Employment Office.
