[quote=@Legion X51] I don't see why we could have an unofficial pact regarding that. Both stygium and cortosis smuggling earns people a lot of money, but is a high-risk scenario, in that others would be on the lookout to steal it and claim the money for themselves. What would you say about the Hexarchy offering the usage of some of their stealth ships to deliver shipments, in exchange for a bit of the cash? And maybe the Gen'Dai could provide security for some stygium shipments, or even buy some themselves from the Ilythiiri and deliver it to others? (And this is why I love criminal undergrounds) [/quote] Ahh, I can already see a very pleasant partnership with the Hexarchy. Expect the Remnants be willing to provide an adequate security force to the Hexarchy's smuggling operation, provided they'll offer the steath ships for smuggling runs of the Remnants in return. Just a disclaimer though, the Remnants are isolationists which makes them handle their operations from their forward bases, and not directly from their capital. So smuggling goods into or out of Remnant capital territory would undergo tedious processing.
