Pirates
Pirates are maritime bandits who prey on other ships, rob sailors of their goods, and sometimes capture the ship itself for their own purposes. Piracy flourished across the Guerreros, particularly in the Lucayans, in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.
"When the queen brands us pyrates, she doesn't mean to make us adversaries. She doesn't mean to make us criminals. She means to make us monsters. For that's the only way her god-fearing, tax-paying subjects can make sense of men who keep what is theirs and fear no one. When I say there's a war coming, I don't mean with the Scarborough, I don't mean with Queen Catherine or Avalon. Civilization is coming. And it means to exterminate us."
