Its small native population was bolstered by 'exiles and renegades'. To the New Ziru Sirka, the alliance was irrelevant. To the Vargr Corsairs (Irrgh Manifest and Glory of Taarskoerzn) it was a rich target. Their fleet was made up of ex Imperial Navy and Planetary Navy (IN Reserve) elements and both Mercenary Fleets and renegade Corsairs.
