GC raider

GC Raider

a somewhat common public term born out of a false assumption by the Union general public. GC Raider means a Galactic Council sponsored pirate. While the Kermac and thus the GC operated a few undercover pirate ships[1]  in Freespace, they never engaged in open raiding of Union shiping lanes and civilian assets as the Shiss Raiders did.

This common misconception came from a erronous GalNet Channel 2 report, where a reported on a Colony raid committed by Yellow Throat Shiss raiders as an act committed by the Galactic Council.

To many Union citizens of that time period Shiss, Nul and GC were simply interchangeable terms for enemies of the Union.
