Privateers are pirates with loyalty to one of the nations. As such they have some similarities to the Pirate career but differ in some vital aspects. For instance they cannot take command of ships. Their letter of marque states they have to send captured ships to their nation and instead get a reward equal to the Freetraders or the Navy Officers.

Introduction[]

You possess a letter of marque signed by the King and you are charged with hunting down and destroying the enemies of the crown wherever you may find them. Though your foes call you "criminal" and "pirate", to your nation you are a bold hero and the epitome of courage. You are a privateer. You do the jobs that no one else can and take the prizes that are your due.[1]
