Pirates Ltd.

The Pirates Ltd. will make themselves known at some point during your progression. Just pretty usual pirate stuff.

Reputation: Always at war

They are not interested in any diplomacy or trading, reputation can only be lost with this civ. They will occasionally occupy planets that will lock them down from exporting resources until the planet is freed by destroying the Lactus buildings and pawns.With "violent station events" enabled in game setting, they will occasionally send raiding parties to your home station.
