with all these team ups happening with the new pirate groups why not take the two most powerful groups and slap them together, would make for a great arc, especially as terrain is claimed and their political agendas start to change causing then a civil war between the two groups after possibly a long lived alliance.
tbf i’d love to see the triglavians vs edencomm arc come into the fold with the new corruption mechanics.
as you corrupt you get triglavian ships in relevant systems.
