Outcast Researcher?

[Hawkwings]

So I have this idea for a character I want to play. It would be an Outcast scientist, flying around on a ship with some crew and some other scientists, researching the effects of Cardiamine, its connection with Nomads and perhaps Artifacts, with the eventual goal of finding a genetic "cure" for the Outcasts' dependence on Cardiamine.

Naturally, this won't sit well with certain Outcasts, after all, who depend on the Cardiamine trade for income. But there are probably Outcasts out there who, despite liking the cardi trade and the Outcast way of life, do not wish to be so dependent on cardi, and want to free themselves from its grip.

So, a couple of things. First of all, I was thinking of flying a Combat Service Freighter, as the Outcasts don't seem to have a small freighter class of ship that matches up against things like the Anki or the Corsair Correo. And I don't think an Outcast would fly a civilian Anki or Armored Transport, which would be horribly out of place in the edge worlds.

Second, can I get a bit of a primer on the Outcast factions? And would any of them be willing to take this character in under their wing? I was planning on having this be an indy Outcast, but I figured I might as well ask.

If anyone's got other issues they think of, please tell!
