Outlanders

Outlanders are industrial tech level factions. There are two types of outlanders: civil outlanders, which start out neutral, and rough outlanders, which start out hostile but can be befriended.
Outlanders use the same equipment and technology as pirates, but do not behave the same. Unlike Pirates, Outlanders can be made into allies by sending gifts or releasing prisoners. Due to their similarity to your colony they can be considered the standard faction. They often use similar equipment and tactics as normal pirates, but rarely use high level gear such as sniper rifles. Be nice to them and you will be rewarded, but anger them and you basically have another pirate group, except they can be negotiated with.
Lore
"These people have lived here for decades or centuries, and have lost most of the technology that brought them to this world. They usually work with simple machinery and defend themselves with advanced gunpowder weapons. They are concerned with the practical matters of trade, trust and survival." - In-game description
Outlander faction leaders are called "Prime Councilors".
