Summary

The Black Sails is a group formed after the Omega Pirates Guild ceased to exists. In the beginning it only consisted of former OPG members, but it soon increased it's numbers and added some of the best Corsair pilots there were. As it's predecessor, the Black Sails are ensuring a stable supply of resources (be it cargo or credits) for the Empire.

Ranks

The Black Sails are't using ranks in the 'usual' way. In standard situations, there are no superiors or subordinates in the group. Normally when more pilots are in space they have a fairly horizontal hierarchy and a rather friendly mind-set. The ranks come in effect when the situation requires so - when meeting a larger transport convoy or in mid-to-large scale fights. In such cases the pilot with the highest rank either takes control of the situation or designates a pilot he finds suitable to lead the group.

Sovereign : The pirate Sovereign of the Omicrons is the most feared pirate terrorizing the convoys of the Sigmas. He leads a large wing of pirates that fight to the death to make the Corsairs nation the biggest in Sirius. Any external relations and actions are consequences - directly or not – of his wishes.

Buccaneers : The Buccaneers are like the right hands of the Sovereign, they are fear pilots that manage their part of the Black Sails wing. All internal affairs are attributed to them such as the recruitment, promotions, demotions and the punishments. Their count is limited to 2 for the time being.

Treasure Hunters : The most trusted Sailors are given the rank of Treasure Hunters. They are known as efficient pirates and excellent pilots. They are given the right to use some shared ships when their own doesn't fit the needs.

Sailors : The Sailors are the main parts of the guild. Without them, the guild would turn into bits in no times. Those pilots have already an average experience that make them still redoubtable for any trading corporations and even the elite outcasts pilots.

Slaves : When it comes to enter a such important guild, the rights we get at start are close to nothing. The Slaves earn their rights through hard tests that only few pilots survive. To add to that, the slaves, once in the guild, are given one month to turn their sails to the full black and become a Sailor. If they don't, they are hunted down and killed for they possess, albeit limited, inside information about the Black Sails guild.
