| | 17 | === Failed Colonization Dreams === |
| | 18 | Governments encouraged people to go into space to work on mining platforms, science stations etc. They should build new communities and spread the influence of their governments. But not all these projects ended in a success (like the colonization of Venus and Mars). Space is a technically demanding environment. Many of the colonization platforms were staffed with bad educated and overstrained personal didn't reach their destination or break down because of insufficient and improper equipment and supplies. Governments suppressed such events to not discourage other settlers. Some people of these failed colonization projects survived. They are disappointed from their government and don't hesitate to harm it on their quest to survive in the hostile environment of space. They are very poor and not really harmful but there are many of them... |

| | 20 | === Privateers and Buccaneers === |
| | 21 | Some people in space make their living by ambushing supply treks. They steal equipment, food and sometimes also humans (if they are valuable). There are some smaller syndicates of pirates but no real structure. They fight for their profit and never do anything that is not worth the effort in hard currency. For some other people the pirates are some kind of heroes that fight against an unfair government. |
