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[edit]

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".

Names[edit]

Variants[edit]

Faction icon for the Pirate Gang

Pirate gang[edit]

"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[edit]

"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
Raider required
Supremacist required
Pain is virtue allowed
Flesh purity allowed

Yttakin pirates[edit]

A close-knit band of hulking, fur-bodied pirates of the yttakin xenotype. They refuse to deal with outsiders and are quick to call their animal warriors against those who disrespect them - or whose wealth they intend to take. Originally engineered to populate the icy planet Yttak, yttakin now pursue their traditional lifestyle on many worlds.
— Faction description

Will all be yttakin xenotype

Will never be sappers or breachers due to their naturally low mining skills.

Required ideo memes: Animal personhood and Raider. Will never generate with apparel precepts of any type.

Spawns with wargs and/or wild boar allies in raids. Bases can also have grizzly bears. Melee only raids possible for non-siege raids.

Waster pirates[edit]

A loose collection of violent pirate bands made up of primarily wasters - xenohumans engineered to thrive around toxins and pollution. They have little interest in building, or farming, preferring to take their sustenance from others using violence. Their technology level depends most on who they've managed to steal from recently. Mostly they carry gunpowder weapons, though some prefer to stab victims at close range.
— Faction description

Waster pirate raids are mostly made up of Wasters. They often utilize Tox gas, including Tox packs, Tox grenades, and Toxbomb launchers. The non-Waster members of the raid are vulnerable to their fellow raiders' use of Tox gas - members of Waster pirate raids often spawn with Face masks and Gas masks to mitigate this.

Be careful of fighting large numbers of waster pirates in a confined space for a prolonged period of time if your colonists are vulnerable to tox gas. Gas mechanics mean that confined spaces quickly build up Tox gas concentration. If you utilize mechanoids or tox immune colonists (gained through Genes or Artificial body parts) however, the large amount of tox gas equipment that is useless against you will make them easier to face overall compared to other factions.

Despite supposedly thriving in pollution they still get angered if you dump toxic wastepacks on them.
