Black Corsair

Overview
Black Corsair is a ruthless pirate organization operated by Feliciana Rubio. Within her ten years as captain she has transformed the organization into a rag-tag group of pirates into a well oiled machine, taking robbery and illegal trading of goods into the high seas. In some eyes they are regarded as heroes fighting against the larger powers wrapping their fingers around the world, others seeing them as a danger to every craft flying in the sky. Despite opinions these men and women have become the largest pirate organization in Cael, worrying only about themselves and their captain.

History
Black Corsair's roots literally start when the airship was first invented in Whitewater. A man by the name of Kyler Bloodworth, originally on the design team for the first successful aircraft in Whitewater's history, had been cut from the later proposals to help design the nation's first airship. His companions deemed him as hard to work with, having a short temper and often picked arguments with other members.

Outraged he set forth on his own design campaign to create an airship that would be faster, stronger, and more suitable for military reasons as opposed to exploration. This ship, named the Black Corsair, never made it past the paper it was designed on since there was no use for such a ship at that time. Laughed at by his colleagues, Kyler abandoned the aviation industry with an early and shameful retirement.

It wasn't until the coming of Kyler's son, Maxwell Bloodworth, in the late 1740's when the name was heard once again. Swearing to avenge the honor of his father he gathered a gang of hopeful ruffians that wanted to make it big. In the quest for money and honor they snuck onto a naval destroyer stationed on shore leaved, killed the crew, and took the ship for their own purposes. With a stroke of luck they had begun to start their journey as highwaymen, renaming their ship the Black Corsair off the failed military design of his father.

Of course the riches were hard to come by. Though they were able to explore lands and take hold of raw goods and slaves for trading, the fact that the world had no literal treasure to offer kept them a bit stunted. Over time captains had passed down the ship from owner to owner, however the most recent captain, a Cesatanian fauran named Feliciana Rubio, took charge ten years ago through extortion and murder with the help of a criminal syndicate owned by her father. Ever since the change of leadership Black Corsair has become more of a problem to many nations, running much more efficiently and stealing enough ships and planes to create their own small air force with income to maintain it.
