Whenever valuable goods were shipped across the sea, pirates emerged to capture their share. From the Lukkan Sea Raiders of the ancient Mediterranean to the savage and romantic stories of the Golden Age of Piracy, each era has shared a common bond.

They were all adventurers who chose to take a path that differed from that of popular society. Choosing to live short, brutal and dangerous lives in exchange for freedom, these murderous seagoers lived always on the edge of the law but never in fear of its wrath.

Though enough military muscle could defeat them in battle, even the world's most disciplined fighting force could never conquer their spirit. Because men without fear of death will fight and live to the very end.
