' Wrote:What is that based on? Assumptions? Remember that just because the Houses make more, that doesn't mean that the Corsairs/Outcasts don't make enough to support a fleet.
The Order needed the help of the Corsairs; they were too weak and didn't have the resources to build a fleet capable of resisting the alien threat. On pain of human extermination, they allied with the Corsairs. Also remember that the Corsairs were under threat; living in such close proximity to the Nomad worlds is a risky business.
Besides, its not really relevant that they could have gone somewhere else; the lore is the lore and is not debatable.
Oh, they can have a fleet, but they would still have nowhere near as many ships as a House fleet. I know it was established somewhere that the Hispanic factions had a lower population due to early starvation and issues with reproduction/population control.
There's obviously nothing that we can do about the Order-Corsair Alliance now, but in the beginning, Igiss could've chosen any other faction that would have made better sense than the Corsairs. And the Corsairs living near Nomad systems is irrelevant. The Nomads never came close to Planet Crete or anywhere near the Corsairs bases. They were only limited to that nebula cloud in northern Omicron Gamma. Besides, Alaska had Nomad patrols in it also. Liberty was just as vulnerable as the Corsairs.
