Scepticising the corsairs

[Ash]

Corsairs presently have no exports bar artifacts, which have been outlawed in the "lawful" houses. As such, they have no viable source of income short of raiding trade convoys.

If, however, they could lay claim to one of the many resource-rich planets such as those owned by the major houses, their diplomacy may undergo a substantial shift, possibly moving them to the status of a "lawful" house.

As much as they demand things like food rations, since their living on a naturally terraformed planet it should not be hard for them to establish a water extraction plant, farms (In the forms of biospeheres if need be) and an oxygen production facility. Never to mind the open availability of Alien Organisms in the vicinity of Yaren. Their pretty much spread everywhere except kusari which means their free to harvest all kinds of resources from all over sirius.

Uh... OK, the Corsairs won't pirate anymore.

Is that the answer you expected? Don't be silly..

And thanks for the sarcasm as it does contribute greatly to the discussion. This wasn't a question to the corsairs as such but a "what if" scenario.
