How a player faction excludes a characteristic of the NPC faction

[Ceoran]

For curiosity, what's the OC's weakness?

I'll try to bring up a little wider explanation.

i think it is cardamine... without it they will die...
in example put outcast to prison without cardi, he die... hold him somewhere without cardi long enough and he die....

At first, this is only a part of the truth. The addiction of a real outcast (not the average rogue or whatnot who joined them) is so intense they will actually even die if they don't visit Malta on a regular base. I can't remember any deeper explanation about it in lore, but as it seems those masks aren't working as good as a walk on the surface of Malta. (Which is why I went haywire back when Joker tried to do that nuke-on-malta thingy.)

I got it mate, finnaly I got it! That's why they need so many slaves, to make their babies... or in fact a pregnant slave woman... they take the baby away, and raise it as their own. Clever.

That's a little bit skewed, but not completely off. The lower birth rate (mind, not infertility) wouldn't be much of an issue due to the outcasts higher life span, if there weren't the wars they were fighting and hence the occasional death of a young outcast (surprising, isn't it? Even the most skilled fighters in sirius can die.)
I'm not sure if that's an result of the number issues, but in the Maltese society it is were possible and even very common for slaves to become a part of the outcast society after having been on the planet for a while. Slavery on Malta has not much in common with the slavery as we know it from history, except for the fact that others decided for them to go there in the first place. So the slaves indeed increase the outcast population.
So while Cardamine is huge improvement for the outcasts, it has its downsides as well. In short they would die without it and have fewer numbers thanks to it if they wouldn't 'import' slaves.

As for Zoners: The outcasts have the same reason to let them stay in Tau-37 as the corsairs should have in Omega-41 and Theta. Hell, even though it's an IMG base, the Hackers are basically doing the same in Magellan.

edit: Oh, and I forgot. we have to respect the Nomads which makes us lose many allies who shouldn't even know about it:P
