And by invading/pillaging other factions with an organized military force you are inviting yourself to be completely wiped out as an aggressively xenophobic warmonger.

not exactly xenophobic since my faction has no problems with members of other civilizations joining their crews, but yes there is a big risk and i am taking it because i want to have fun rather than just be my own little bubble which is boring in my opinion. also there will probably NPC factions since none of our factions will take up the entire galaxy so most of my pillaging and plundering will be done against NPCs for the start of the rp.
