Outsiders

The Outsiders are an alien faction that originate from a dark world on the other side of the Ruined Gate. Their ships have powerful beam weapons and torpedoes, and anything larger than a gunship usually has stationary shields. They first began hostilities against the TSF after the battle with the Newsum resulted in some debris that struck their home world. This was interpreted as an attack, which led to many large battles, before a final battle against an Outsider Dreadnought near the Sun Gate.

In recent times, a man named Shade stole and later destroyed a Talon. This event led to the return of the Outsiders, with even more powerful ships.
