Liu Chen and Liu Yao hated star pirates. The two of them hated the star pirates themselves, but not the way they lived.
The competition between the various species for territory and resources was essentially a form of plundering. The star pirates' way of living was not a problem, but their actions extended beyond mere plundering to actively exterminating other species and factions.
It was different from the wars between the various species and factions in the Sky Beyond the Clouds for resources.
Moreover, the wars for territory resources were usually comparable in strength. Even if there was a difference, it would not be much.
However, the star pirates would target those factions and species that were much weaker than them, which was equivalent to depriving them of the chance to survive.
