Anyway, maybe it's not food as we know it? Maybe it's an endless flow of green, vegetable mass, that's easy to produce, and with the use of Alien Organisms as fertilizers, roll out food like a newspaper press?
No Peka i think your reffering to Synth Paste there.
Also wouldnt you think that given the current domestic predicaments of the Corsaris that maybe the population is only like 300k people tops for such a barren place? this is ofcourse not counting the station populations. at various locations.
a place like crete would hamper any kind of expansion realyl since water isnt exactly abundant and you cant grow food there.
So in reality, id say its plausible that the corsairs recive most of their food from the Zoner biodomes.
And besides the lore states that the Hessians are more numerous then the corsairs and they are only a miners a revolt, this is ofcourse only more numerous then the corsair fighting force which is still a VERY big percentage of the corsair population given their reliance on piracy.
