Crona Lords
In Maynard Fields, those who possessed the capability to establish a base and maintain possession of it were strong.
Roaming pirate organizations that only possessed ships were usually dependent on raiding and other risky activities to maintain their existence.
Obviously, this was a very unstable means of survival.
If possible, pirates vastly preferred setting up a base in a resource-rich area so that they could earn a more stable form of living. Not only did they not need to take part in risky attacks, but they could also settle down and form something that a pirate could call a home.
Sometimes, the line between pirate and colonist blurred.
However, that did not stop Ves from targeting these powerful pirate bases. Everyone in the Nyxian Gap was fair game in his eyes!
It didn't take too long before Task Force Predator entered the territory claimed by a long-established pirate group called the Crona Lords.
