 marauder.1.name:1 "[encountered_marauder.GetRealName] Encountered"
 marauder.1.desc:1 "Having decoded what counts as a language among them, [This.Owner.GetEnvoy] [This.Leader.GetName] has identified the §H[encountered_marauder.GetName]§! as a nomadic civilization known as the §H[encountered_marauder.GetRealName]§!. They occupy a number of large space stations in and around the §H[marauder_system.GetName]§! system that house the bulk of their massive numbers in crowded and squalid conditions. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, they seem to have developed a strong martial culture. Life in the cold void has become second nature to them, and they are very adept at space warfare.\n\nThere is no [encountered_marauder.GetSpeciesName] central government to speak of. Instead, they are divided into several different factions that vie endlessly with one another for resources and respect. Given their large population and the shipbuilding capability of their stations, this constant infighting is the only thing keeping them from growing into a significant threat to galactic peace."
 marauder.1.a:0 "Attempt to contact them."
 marauder.3.name:0 "[From.GetSpeciesName] Warriors Sighted"
 marauder.3.desc:0 "For several months now, we have received scattered reports of small numbers of alien mercenaries and privateers operating on the frontiers of our space. They call themselves the §H[From.GetSpeciesNamePlural]§!, and are apparently exiles from a nomadic warrior culture inhabiting overcrowded space stations in and around the §H[marauder_system.GetName]§! system.\n\nTheir passage near our space proceeded without incident, but they warned us against trespassing in [marauder_system.GetName]. There is no [From.GetSpeciesName] central government to speak of, but their various factions are engaged in constant infighting and often launch raids against neighboring star systems. Indeed, given their vast population and space-based production capability, the [From.GetSpeciesNamePlural] would likely be a significant galactic power if they ever stopped killing each other."
 marauder.5.name:0 "The End of the [From.GetName]"
 marauder.5.desc:0 "The once proud nomadic warrior culture of the §H[From.GetSpeciesNamePlural]§! is no more. Forces from the §H[marauder_killer.GetName]§! have destroyed the last of the massive space stations that housed the majority of their population. Refugees from their surviving civilian population have scattered across the galaxy.\n\nAlthough some [From.GetSpeciesName] pirate and mercenary fleets may still be unaccounted for, the loss of their space dwellings is a devastating blow that they cannot recover from. This puts a definite end to their raiding."
 marauder.5.a:0 "Indeed."
 marauder.6.name:0 "Vengeance of the [marauder_species.GetNamePlural]"
 marauder.6.desc:0 "A large fleet of §H[marauder_species.GetName]§! mercenaries has translated out of hyperspace in the §H[attacked_system.GetName]§! system! It looks like all of the surviving [marauder_species.GetName] mercenary outfits that were deployed elsewhere when we smashed their last space station have put their differences aside and joined forces.\n\nWe are not certain how they managed to elude our sensor cover to reach [attacked_system.GetName], but they are transmitting a message on an open channel."
 marauder.7.1.desc:0 "To the wretched cowards of the [Root.GetName]:\n\nAs you destroyed our homes, we shall now burn yours. We have nothing left to lose - you have made certain of that. All that we hope for now is to die in battle, and to take as many of your so-called warriors with us as possible when we journey into the Great Beyond.\n\nReady your defenses!"
 marauder.7.2.desc:0 "Dwamaks of the [Root.GetName]! You bash our homes, now we bash yours! We know we may not survive, but we take as many dwamaks with us as possible!\n\nDeath to all dwamaks! HYEEEEEIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!"
 marauder.7.3.desc:0 "To the apostates of the [Root.GetName]:\n\nYou have defiled our most sacred of spaces and murdered countless of Her subjects. Did you think that She of the Void would let these atrocities pass unanswered?\n\nShe demands sacrifice, and we shall deliver. It will be our last act in this wretched world."

 marauder.8.desc:0 "A large fleet of §H[marauder_species.GetName]§! mercenaries has crossed into the §H[From.GetName]§!. It looks like all of the [marauder_species.GetName] mercenary outfits who were deployed elsewhere when the [From.GetName] smashed their last space station have put their differences aside and combined forces.\n\nThey are intent on exacting vengeance for the destruction of their homes, and intercepted communications makes it clear that their warriors have no intention of surviving the campaign."
 marauder.10.name:0 "[marauder_species.GetName] Refugees Arrive"
 marauder.10.desc:0 "A battered flotilla of tramp freighters carrying §H[marauder_species.GetName]§! refugees fleeing the recent destruction in their home systems have arrived in our space. They have been allowed to settle on §H[Root.GetName]§!.\n\nAlthough these refugees are used to living on crowded space stations under squalid conditions, they seem to be adjusting well to their new planetary home.

 marauder.620.name:0 "The Horde Splinters"
 marauder.620.desc:0 "The death of the §HGreat Khan§! has proved the undoing of the §H[From.GetName]§!. Without a strong ruler to unite them, the [From.GetSpeciesNamePlural] have succumbed to infighting once more. Their empire has been divided between the §HDiadochi§!, the most powerful and influential of the Great Khan's military commanders.\n\nEach of them now claims the title of Great Khan of the Galaxy, and their supporters are locked in bitter opposition to one another. The time of a united [From.GetSpeciesName] empire is apparently at an end."
 marauder.620.a:0 "It was not meant to be."
 marauder.630.name:0 "Horde Reverts to Old Ways"
 marauder.630.desc:0 "The death of the Great Khan has also proved the killing blow for the many reforms that were instituted by the [From.GetSpeciesNamePlural] to turn their disorganized marauder clans into a consolidated galactic empire.\n\nNone of the warlords who succeeded the Great Khan have shown the least bit of interest in continuing these reforms, and the [From.GetSpeciesNamePlural] have all reverted to the old ways of their violent marauder past. The [From.GetSpeciesNamePlural] are united no longer."

 marauder.640.desc:0 "Against all odds, the §H[From.GetSpeciesName] Horde§! has managed to weather the turmoil that followed in the wake of the death of the §HGreat Khan§!. The immediate threat of splintering into different successor states has been largely eliminated with the coronation of a new khan.\n\nFor now, this reborn [From.GetSpeciesName] Khanate seems more concerned with the consolidation of the territory it already controls than making new conquests."

A new democratic faction, inspired by egalitarian values that were alien to the [From.GetSpeciesNamePlural] when they began their war of conquest, now seeks to reform their government along the lines of an interstellar federation."
 marauder.660.2.desc:0 "As a Satrapy of the Horde, we have been asked to participate in this new federation as a founding member. Alternatively, the Horde's recently drafted constitution would also allow us to secede and establish full independence once again."

 marauder.670.desc:1 "With chaos and instability following in the wake of the Great Khan's death, our status as a Satrapy within the Horde is void - our oath of fealty was to the Great Khan alone. We are once more free to pursue our own destiny.\n\nAll Horde military personnel that were stationed in the [Root.Capital.solar_system.GetName] system have abandoned their posts to join their people elsewhere, after first demolishing any war material left behind."

 marauder.702.a.desc:0 "An extended period of unrelenting border skirmishes with the §H[marauder_neighbor.GetName]§! has hardened our serving naval crews.

 marauder.702.b.desc:0 "After a prolonged period of skirmishing with the §H[marauder_neighbor.GetName]§! along our border, the [root.GetIndividualName] crews of our vessels seem to have developed a certain degree of initiative. They are now more capable of countering the often unpredictable tactics employed by the [marauder_neighbor_species.GetNamePlural].\n\nThis will eventually have to be dealt with before the crews develop a dangerous level of individuality, but for now it will give us an advantage in any future engagements."
 marauder.702.c.desc:0 "The efficiency of our naval units has increased after a prolonged period of border skirmishing with the §H[marauder_neighbor.GetName]§!. Our units have been forced to make slight alterations to their programming to make up for the unorthodox and unpredictable tactics employed by the [marauder_neighbor_species.GetNamePlural].\n\nIt will eventually become necessary to purge this new data to prevent system degradation in other areas, but for now it will give us an advantage in future engagements."

Computer logs on the ships indicate that their crews fled into our space to escape some kind of clan feud. Unfortunately for them, they brought few supplies and soon starved to death. The ships have been adrift ever since.\n\nOur engineers have gone over the ships and they appear to be in decent condition. If they are crewed, we could commission them into service with our own fleet."

The massive cargo containers of the cache contains spoils from several [marauder_neighbor_species.GetName] raids that must have been launched centuries ago.\n\nAt some point this cache was forgotten, or perhaps its owners were killed in another raid or one of the countless [marauder_neighbor_species.GetName] internecine feuds.

 marauder.706.desc:0 "We have discovered the remnants of a half-finished [marauder_neighbor_species.GetName] space habitat in close orbit around [border_planet.GetName], inside our borders. Evidently, at some point the §H[marauder_neighbor.GetName]§! attempted to establish a permanent presence in the [border_system.GetName] system, but for whatever reason this endeavour was abandoned.\n\nDue to its close proximity to [border_planet.GetName], the unfinished habitat eluded detection during our initial survey of the system. It is little more than a dense collection of space junk at this point, but there are a lot of valuable minerals among the wreckage that could be salvaged."
