Also, here, have some information. These are the space pirate factions we've met so far.

The Triads
Primary Races: Humans
Weaponry: Gauss and Pulse Lasers
Armor: Alloy Suits and Flight Armor
Power: Thermal and Elerium
Equipment: Protective Devices and Grenades
Focus(es): Gene-Mods and Psionics
Spacecraft: Scouts, Fighters, and Transports
As the XSDF began to crack down on the Triads on Earth, the chinese organized crime group began to look towards the stars for freedom. Taking what advances in technology they had, they snuck aboard colony ships or fled in stolen spacecraft, eventually working with aliens to garner more advanced technology. They also found ways to genetically modify themselves and learn the art of psionics, taking their business beyond Earth.
Slipstream Hijackers
Primary Races: Humans, Sectoids, Replitans, Balmadaar, and BaƷir
Weaponry: Beam, Gauss, Pulse and Plasma
Armor: Alloy Suits, Basic Power Armor, Aegis Armor, and Flight Armor (Sometimes w/ Personal Shields)
Power: Fusion and Elerium
Equipment: Special Ammunition
Focus(es): None in particular
Spacecraft: Scouts, Fighters, Raiders, Destroyers, Barges, Transports, Battleships (Pretty much anything they can get their hands on)
Excellent pilots and soldiers, the members of HS are true ‘space pirates’, aboard a motley assortment of stolen ships or otherwise custom-built craft. The BaƷir, naturally, don’t always build the unique variants or repair hijacked craft of their own free will. Sectoids usually serve as pilots, Replitans the thieves, Balmadaar the brute force. Humans fulfill any of these roles.
Outcasts of Tamear
Primary Races: Tamearins, Balmadaar
Weaponry: Beam and Pulse Lasers
Armor: Alloy Suits and Heavy Power Armor
Equipment: Protective Devices and Grenades
Focus(es): Psionics and Gene-Mods
Power: Fusion
Spacecraft: Raiders and Fighters
The outcasts are primarily made up of the outcasts from the higher ranking positions of Tamear. Scorned by their own kind, these Tamear share their discarded nature with the Elite Balmadaar that were rejected by their own kind. They specialize in the tag-team nature of the Tamearins’ psionics and the Balmadaar’s physical strength. That these Tamearins so willingly work with those with gene-mods, and might even use a few themselves, show how far they have fallen from their people.
Venom
Primary Races: Replitans
Weaponry: Beam Lasers and Gauss
Armor: Alloy Suits and Basic Power Armor
Power: Fusion and Elerium
Equipment: Protective equipment, Handheld Items, and Seekers
Focus(es): Gene-mods
Spacecraft: Fighters and Destroyers
With the exception of forced BaƷir laborers, this group is made up entirely of Replitans incapable of conforming to civilized life after the Ethereal’s falls but not skilled enough to start a more fruitful criminal career on their own. Specialize in modifications to enhance their already impressive dexterity. This group has some exceptional sharp-shooters, and specializes in working in tandem with their own, custom brand of Seekers.

And some hints at others the Einherjar hasn't run into yet:
"The Packmasters", "The Busters", "The Wreckers", "The Controllers", and "Chrystal Fear"
Chrystal Fear?
Excited!
