The third novel under #Jurisdiction (chronologically, not publication order) is Angel of Destruction. There's a different set of protagonists, but they, too, ate trying to sow justice within a fundamentally unjust system.
One of the antagonists is a fanatic who craves vengeance over peace; he claims anything other than blood fails to be just punishment for resistance.
The thing that haunts me about Angel is the truth of the bare facts: the Langsarik's resistance of #Jurisdiction *did* create any number of situations that resulted in tragedy, even if they themselves did all they could to reduce its effect on the relatively "innocent".
Just surviving an unjust system is never clean -- there are always compromises. This is true of resistance, too.
The version of the story where they are pirates isn't entirely wrong. The system can be blamed for making them that way, but they are not easy heroes.
"His heart knew that whether or not he had meant it, whether or not he had been duped, whether or not he had been lied to, he shared the guilt....He had not been the one to cause the horror, but he had been part of making it happen." -- Angel of Destruction, under #Jurisdiction
