The Galaxii Guide To Corsairs & The Black Fleet — Christina Engela

Meradinis! The very name of this dark world grabbed the imaginations of young boys and girls, and universally mesmerized dreamers and romantics alike. That is, when they weren't terrified - because the truth was always far less romantic - and as reality so often demonstrates in real life - rather ugly and brutal.Behind the legend of the Corsairs and their sinister culture of plunder and violence lay a history fraught with a desperate, brutal struggle to survive, a vengefulness and a cruel streak - and a drive to survive by any means necessary - chiefly of which was their predation upon other worlds... And it was their predatory nature that struck fear into the hearts of neighboring Terran colonies on the fringe - and, some whispered - in the hallowed halls of the Terran Congress itself.This guide is intended to brief the reader about the Corsairs as a group, their culture, origins, general practices and of course, ships and other equipment.
