Reborn

The Reborn are rebels against the TSF, slowing turning into mere pirates.

In game description: "The Reborn are a newly formed faction, most resembling a pirate group."

"After the rebellion, the MU took another hit when a big portion of the remaining rebels chose to continue the fight. Thus the Reborn were created."

"Initially made up of the early settlers of this region, the Reborn's official mandate is independence and self rule. Needing resources and a way to weaken the establishment, they turned to piracy."

"As more and more new recruits are taken on board, diluting the original founders, the original goals are slowly eroding away."

Overview
The Reborn are pirates out of necessity. They are often going to be hostile to the player, as missions for other factions often have Reborn as opposition, and they are hostile to all other factions. Their own missions involve fighting the TSF, which means that the player will become wanted by the TSF and the Pride, making those factions hostile.

The Reborn have two bases on the outer edges of the green sector. Hydra is past the second green sector marker on the blue sector side, somewhat close to the Kind base of Sanctuary. Hall of Kings is on the other edge of the green sector, closer to the red sector but also near the second green sector marker. They aggressively patrol many of the asteroid belts in the green sector, especially Hope's Abandon, Pebble Lake, Lost Luggage, Hell's Teeth, and Lonely Rest. They sometimes contest Faraway Dreams with the TSF.

Most Reborn light craft use projectile weapons, but their Wrath gunship uses a short range energy beam. Several of their corvettes and frigates have small hangars attached, and their Longbow corvette has extremely long ranged missiles.

Trivia

 * Killing Beggars or Pirates ships increases reputation with the Reborn, so the REborn tend cycle between friendly and hostile as the player fends off Beggar pirates and then goes back to shooting Reborn pirates.
 * Reborn ships, like Beggars ships, tend to be less effective ships than most civilized ships. The Envy destroyer is possibly the worst destroyer in the game and is easier to defeat without destroyers than any of the others.  As such, in a storyline game, the Reborn are a common choice for the first faction to attack to achieve the three base requirement for the auction mission.
