=== Long John Silver: The Pirate Confederacy (Treasure Planet)===

King: Long John Silver    

Once, a long, long time ago, an expeditionary voyage was launched by the Royal Navy to recover the long lost treasure of the Space Pirate Captain Flint using an ancient holo-map discovered by a young juvenile delinquent. Halfway through the journey, however, the crew of the vessel mutinied and took the ship for themselves, lead by a Cyborg with a single eye. This man was none other than John Silver; the most cut-throat, cunning, and vicious space pirate in the known universe.

Silver was not always the brutal warlord he is today; during that fated voyage, it is said that he formed a rare bond of friendship, almost paternal love, with the young man who had discovered the map to the treasure. But during the treasure's recovery, a booby trap was triggered, forcing Silver to choose between the treasure and the life of his young friend. Greed, in the end, won out, and the old pirate abandoned his young friend to an unknown fate as the planet collapsed around him. 
As the Confederacy's campaigns ploughed a bloody swath through the galaxy, Silver time and time again led the charge, fighting on the frontlines in a dervish of spinning blades and cybernetic limbs. As his battle scars racked up from ceaseless fighting, metal took the place of flesh bit by bit until the pirate’s body was little more than a gleaming shell containing what few of his original organs remain. Fitting, perhaps, as Silver himself is a hollow, empty man. He has found that chasing ambition only digs the hole inside him deeper and deeper, and although he continues to be a roaring lion full of pride and bluster to his men, Silver is a weary soul beneath the lies and machismo; continuing his passionless crusades only out of habit. Perhaps someday he can find something to fill the hole other than plunder and violence.

Land: The Pirate Confederacy 

Using the hoard he recovered from Captain Flint’s treasure, Silver brought together the most feared pirates in the sector to form what would become the Pirate Confederacy.

Together, using a fleet of fearsome battleships bought with Flint’s gold, they carved out a sizable territory for themselves, smashing the remains of ordered government and replacing them with anarchy and unconditional acceptance of the Silver’s rule through pirate governors.
Planets within the Confederacy’s sphere of influence are, for the most part, left alone, save for the occasional raid by Silver’s agents for sport and profit. Planets of especial interest, such as the factory worlds close to the heart of the Confederacy, suffer a much tighter leash, and have been forced into becoming vassals, paying an ever increasing tribute of weapons, ships, and precious metals to their pirate masters for fear of punishment through raids and orbital bombardment. 

The Confederacy’s fringes: highly contested former territories of other galactic polities, suffer the most under the Confederacy’s rule, with little to no restriction set on raiding and plundering activities and near daily fighting as forces of either side battle for control. Natives of the frontier, grown used to war, display an unnerving callousness to violence and flagrant waste of life.

Rule: Beware…. The Cyborg...

Visitors to the Confederacy are welcome to travel freely, trading and refueling as they see fit, provided they adhere to the laws set by Silver and his governors and pay their dues to the local pirates. Attempts to resist or otherwise stir up trouble result in a bounty to the head and a convergence of armed assailants all eager to snap up the rewards.
In more extreme cases, when Silver himself feels he has been slighted or cheated, a Pirate Fleet will be massed from all corners of the Confederacy to hunt down and assault the offenders. Although this is rarely done (as Silver’s cronies often stubbornly resist his call to arms), the result has universally been one of the most terrifyingly effective and mobile navies in the galaxy, Silver himself at the wheel.

In addition to actions by the loose governorship of the confederacy, its citizens have, by necessity, adopted the cutthroat culture of pirates. Little to no moral restriction on activities exist in Pirate controlled lands, with brothels, gambling dens, and general depravity spreading like wildfire. Petty crime is rife in the cities, and mercenary and bandit activity lay waste to the countrysides. A show of weakness is perhaps the most deadly mistake one can make within the Pirate Confederacy, as any sign of “going soft” is taken as an opportunity to be fleeced, mugged, or killed without much of a fight.
