Prisoners of War in Sirius

[DarthBindo]

The Corsairs eat their POWs they capture. Everyone knows this.

This is incorrect.
We would not afford them such honor.
The story behind the cannibalism associated with the Corsairs is thus:
In the past the Corsairs were unable to grow enough food on the mountainous and arid terrain of Planet Crete, and the low native wildlife populations and sparse forests only further contributed to the lack of resources and eventual famine of the original Corsair population. According to legend, in the early days of their civilisation a select few members of the populace volunteered to be cannibalised to ensure the future of their people. Though many Corsairs believe this to be a myth, these individuals are still revered among believers and their glorious sacrifice celebrated. This story however, whether a fact or a myth, is not one that the Corsairs share with outsiders.
