Corsairs, Outcasts and Krieg

[Tinitus]

What's the cause of this never-ending war?

The Hispania broke down. (Due to sabotage, not because it was made in Mexico, as venomous tongues say).

They were near planet Malta, which was poisonous with orange grass which made any sort of terroforming impossible cause it destroyed or changed all the life forms they tried to introduce.

Corsairs took all the escape shuttles and left the Outcasts to rot.

Outcasts think that this course of action by the Corsairs sucked. A lot.

Corsairs made it to the crappy lifeless pebble with barely enough air to breathe, today known as planet Crete, and used some of their commerads to provide something to live off of for themselves (first their commmrads provided their tender meaty rump, loin, and neck steaks, and after consumption they were turned into fertilizer via the human digestive system, and were then literally pushing up the daisies, or tomatos, cewcumbers, and banana trees).

Outcasts stopped trying to make planet Malta adapt to them, and instead they adapted to planet Malta by letting the cardi change their genes. Those who werent able to adapt died as drewling lamebrains. Those who survived learned how to farm cardamine grass and synthesise it into modern day caradmine.

Corsairs kept eating human-grown tomatos, cewcumbers, and bananas for centurues, with an occasional bit of meat, on special occasions. For example when they killed an enemy. Because the biomass they had was limited, they had to curve population growth by sending their young ones on some quest where some would die. A good quest was to try to steal stuff from the sparkly glowing blue aliens that lived at the other side of the jumphole in a green cloud in the system. The aliens learned to not like them for it.

Outcasts kept eating cardamine stuff for centuries, and that altered their genes to depend on it. The cardamine also affected their brains, and they began to see visions that the sparkly glowing blue aliens which lived on the other side of a jumphole in a green cloud in their system. The Outcasts thought the aliens were all groovy and spacey and funky and probably really cool when they had visions while they were high. The aliens learned that the Outcasts werent more dangerous to them than any other harmless microbe on other planets, or than the fuzzy cute creatures on planet Gaia. Also always being high made the Outcasts spend less time on reproduction. Also they wanted to spend more time being high and less time working, so they imported slaves from abroad.

Then Outcasts and Corsairs met again one day, and one thing led to another.
