New Trinidad Pirates

These pirates, based on space platforms over the empty world of New Trinidad, have attacked ships and outposts throughout the Koprulu Sector for decades. Due to recent Terran civil wars, the creation of a standing militia strong enough to deal with them was impossible.

In an attack from their nearly impregnable space station over New Trinidad, sustained shelling from Arclite Siege Tanks led to the death of Jacqueline Angel, heiress to the Angel Shipping empire.

The shipping conglomerate devoted considerable funds to hiring groups of mercenaries to remove the pirate threat once and for all. The mercenaries appear to have been successful.

The pirates were introduced (and destroyed) in the map Mercenaries.
