The Order of the Lion

Ugh. Where do I start?

The Corsairs do not invade Bretonia. The Corsairs have only invaded house space on one occasion; the planned and RPed invasion of Rhineland in 816 A.S. which ended in the destruction of the then TBH flagship.

There is a world of a difference between raiding/piracy and invasion.

The Corsairs, among other things, are one of Bretonia's crime factions. Despite this, you believe that sending fleets to lay siege to their home world is a reasonable response to their crimes?
I would hope Bretonia would never attack crime using genocide.

If a faction was set up in Bretonia specifically to destroy the Mollys by pushing them back all the way to their guard system and laying siege to their bases, people would not be impressed. Desire to wipe out a faction is no basis for a clan to exist.

Furthermore, in decent RP Bretonia shouldn't have any idea where Corsairs are based out of, or where their home-world is. Bounty Hunters certainly wouldn't share it with you; you could muscle in on their profits.

I can guarantee Omicron Gamma is invaded much more frequently than the frequency at which Corsairs step foot in Bretonia, and they do so purely because they're headed somewhere or they have decent RP motives; to pirate and make money for the people of Crete to be used to buy food etc.
If you want to bring balance to the game, go do something else, because "putting the Corsairs on the defensive" should never be on the agenda; "defensive" is 95% of what we do, and not out of choice.
We're already obligated to battle Bounty Hunters, Hessians, Outcasts, SCRA, Keepers, Wilde and Mercenaries who show up looking for a fight and always expect us to provide.

The pilots that are out in Bretonia, and more likely, the Omegas pirating do so because they want to RP with traders. Yet, you respond to this by making a clan devoted to forcing these players to PVP rather than RP.
There are also traders who relish the opportunity to be pirated because, frankly, trading can be pretty dull. You would be depriving THEM too.
You're essentially trying to force a style of gameplay on players that have specifically chosen to TRY to do other things.

Id suggest that if you have a problem with piracy in Bretonia (and that IS the only reason Bretonia has an issue with us. We are criminals in their eyes, not soldiers at war) then get out there and police Bretonian space, or escort traders. Don't jump onto the already over-filled "invade Corsair space" bandwagon.

And, consider that the majority of players with Corsair characters have already stated that they do not want to have to deal with a clan that's only motivation is to PVP with them. Do you really have the right to force it on them?
