Maghreb Pirates

The Maghreb Pirates have been a nuisance since the recent days of reclaimed star travel. With the faltering of the Cobalt Alliance over the last few years the pirates have grown more bold. Escapees of their boardings are unheard of. What little is known today is second-hand from those who shared a distant mental link with a prisoner. Prisoners who resist are killed. Those who surrender are treated harshly and taken, presumably, back to Yasmin.

The pirate ships are a mix of Maghreb-built ships and several captured merchants and fighters. They prefer to raid easy targets, whether it be an undefended planet settlement or a free merchant. If the vessel is too powerful, the Maghreb either avoid it or engage to destroy.
