Pirates

Pirates are a spacer tech level faction. They are relatively technologically advanced, perpetually hostile and appear in every game. This making them one of the primary humanoid threats to be faced as they will raid the player the entire game unless every faction base is eliminated.

Despite being Spacer level, and Outlanders being Industrial, their technology and equipment is largely similar. In some ways, this makes them the Outlander equivalent to the Tribes' Savage variant.

Lore

A loose confederation of pirate gangs who've agreed to mostly fight outsiders instead of fighting each other.
Pirates don't sow, they don't build, and they rarely trade. Driven by a blood-and-honor culture that values personal strength and ruthlessness, they enrich themselves by raiding and robbing their more productive neighbors.
Their technology level depends mostly on who they've managed to steal from recently. Mostly they carry gunpowder weapons, though some prefer to stab victims at close range. - In Game Description

Pirate faction leaders are called the "Boss".

Variants

There is one primary pirate faction with an additional pirate gang included with the Ideology DLC.

Pirate gang

"A loose confederation of pirate gangs who've agreed to mostly fight outsiders instead of fighting each other."

The pirate gang faction's goodwill is locked at -100, and will always remain hostile.

Cannibal pirate gang

"This particular gang of pirates are cannibals."

Cannibal pirate gangs will always have the Cannibal Meme. Like the pirate gang, their goodwill is locked at -100, and will always remain hostile.

Ideoligion:

• Cannibal required

Pawns

Pirate pawns will always have backstories from the "Pirate" category.
