What I just saw

Incorrect. It would be like the LN, Hessians, Unioners, Bundschuh, LWB and Corsairs getting together to bombard planet New Berlin from orbit.
You forgot the Coalition.
The Xeeners are nationalists and patriots (in their own eyes at least). This is correct

This is the bit I'm not so sure about. I've seen a lot of conflicting behaviour frm various pirate groups. The chaos of war provides a lot of opportunities for a criminal, without a doubt. It makes smuggling and piracy easier due to the navy/whatever being distracted. But at the same time, I doubt they'd want their own house's military to lose and collapse. After all, with years of experience of how to get around one particular military's actions, why would you want another unfamiliar military to take it's place?
I agree. Weaken one, help weakened against a stronger force, keep doing what you do :)no need to learn new tactics.
