What's happening in Pyro with these three factions right now? Where are we at in their story at the moment?

TL;DRThe newly introduced Frontier Fighters want to burn Pyro down rather than resettle it as another group proposes, and they staged a terrorist attack on Stanton while posing as outlaws to stir up action.

Well, I guess just to fill in, in the Fight for Pyro, we have the introduction of a new group called the Frontier Fighters, who have a different take on the Pyro solution, right? Because we've established for a long time the Citizens for Prosperity, who are out there, who are like, if we just resettle Pyro, we can turn it around. If there's more economic development here, then the UEE will care more, then we'll get more resources, more funds, and we can make it safe and in turn make the neighboring systems safer. And that's their plan. And the Frontier Fighters are like, no, that's going to take too long. You've been trying to do this. All you're doing is sending resources in there that outlaws just steal. You're making the situation worse. Our solution is burn it to the ground. It's called Pyro. Let's burn it up. And so they've come in here, and to get the ball rolling, it turns out, they pretended to be a Pyro outlaw group called the Slicers. They did a huge terrorist attack on the Stanton system. And then they're like, come on, everyone, let's get those Slicers, trying to get the whole system agitated, because they saw what happened when XenoThreat did their attack. They were like, this was good, but not good enough. Let's do it better. It says everything you need to know about these people.

The uber-racists did a good job, but they didn't go far enough.

Well, as far as agitating Stanton into action, because Pyro is one of those problems that's so big that it feels easier to ignore. So it's easy enough to be like, it's there, it's fine, and just deal with, oh, we'll catch this one shipjacker, we'll catch this one outlaw, but it doesn't help the larger problem of an outlaw system.
