Hessians
Are allied to: LWB, Bundschuh, Outcasts, Mollys
Should be allied to: LWB, Bunds, Unioners (maybe), Mollys
Unioners
Are allied to: no one
Should be allied to: Bunds, LWB (maybe), Hessians (maybe), Rogues (maybe, since they do trade in Bering/Hudson)
Bunds
Are allied to: Hessians
Should be allied to: Unioners, LWB, Hessians (basically, the most congenial of the Rheinland pirate groups here, I think they should definitely be friendly with all the others)
Outcasts
Are allied to: GC, Rogues, Hackers, Mollys, Hessians
Should be allied to: GC, Hackers, Rogues (maybe; this revolves around the Rogues not being -that- addicted to Cardamine, as shown by Del's group of Rogues, and the fact that the Rogues aren't likely to be picking a side in some Hispanic war on the back end of Sirius)
Mollys
Are allied to: Outcasts, Hessians, Rogues
Should be allied to: Hessians, Rogues, Unioners (maybe, since they do trade in Hudson/Bering)
Rogues
Are allied to: Outcasts, Mollys, Hackers
Should be allied to: Mollys, Hackers
Corsairs
Are allied to: FA, Hogosha, Gaians, Order
Should be allied to: Order, Gaians (maybe; really, the Corsairs and Kusarians aren't that friendly. As I understand it, the first two never even meet and if they do meet, it'll be the FA and/or Hogosha telling the Corsairs to get outta Kusari; also, the Gaian/Corsair relationship never made much sense to me)
In my opinion, polarizing all pirate groups into the Outcast camp and the Corsair camp is ridiculous. War by proxy doesn't make much sense in this case, as when do Outcasts and Corsairs really meet anywhere but in the Edge Worlds? What would they care if their allies blew each other up? All in all, I'm all for dissolving the big "alliances".
