Sky Pirates

The sky pirates are bands of marauding pirates who use airship technology in order to raid across the West Coast and beyond in the aftermath of the War of 2069. Sky pirates strike without warning, and disappear back into the clouds after securing their prize. These raids can devastate small villages, and many towns across the West Coast use anti air weaponry in order to defend against the pirates. Pirates use whatever weapons they can find, and it is not uncommon for some to use refurbished versions of antique weaponry. This includes laser flintlock pistols and electrified cutlasses.

Some sky prate crews will transport cargo or individuals for the right price, transporting them in the relative safety of the clouds. However, these pirate captains are just as likely to betray their patrons for the right price.

Sky pirates are sworn enemies of the US Marines, and frequently attack on site. The marines have undertaken a mission to cleanse the West Coast of sky pirates.

Some sky pirates have escaped the material plane, raiding other dimensions in search of valuable treasure.
