I dont recall any reference to Confed at all in P2. I believe P2 was supposed to be a totally different universe than WC. I think that they pasted Privateer 2 to the original title "The Darkening" due to the demand from fans for a new privateer game. In fact, the story line, sub plots etc do not refer Sir Aris as a "Privateer". I think it was to satisfy the need for a new privateer game. It would have made sense to continue from Privateer Rightious Fire as did the WC games. Then there is the timeline thing. Since the universe is one universe, maybe the Tri-System is some distance away from Confed space, as well as a totally different timeline, but they shoved it into the WC timeline so that we all felt it was a part of WC. Maybe thats why so much does not "fit" with the well known WC timeline.
