Corsair vs Outcast

[Klaw117]

I won'€™t get into the history of the Corsairs and the Outcasts. You should know that by now.

The conflict stems from the artifact and cardamine smuggling routes. Both routes go through the Sigma systems to deliver artifacts and cardamine to the Junkers in Sigma-13. The Junkers can only buy one or the other, so naturally, whoever gets there first gets the money from the Junkers. The Corsairs want to get there first, so they shoot the Outcasts to stop them from selling their cardamine before the Corsairs can sell their artifacts. The Outcasts also want to get there first, so they shoot the Corsairs also.

Trade routes also go through the Sigma Systems as well. Traders can only pay one of the two groups, so naturally, the Corsairs and the Outcasts will shoot each other until one side is left standing. That winning side can then pirate the trader.

Basically, it'€™s just a big war over who has control of the smuggling routes and the piracy spots in the Sigma Systems. There are a few instances of Corsairs and Outcasts getting along, but overall, they want to shoot each other more than getting along. For all intents and purposes, the two sides are at war and hate each other.

The Discovery Mod kind of screwed up the war because the fight is now in the Omicrons instead of the Sigmas, but I hear that this has been fixed in 4.86.
