Michigania Pirates

Michigania pirates are the raiders who raid shipping routes and steal goods from ships all throughout the Michigania Sea.

Information and History
Michigania pirates often establish camps along the untamed wilderness of Western Michigan in lake Michigan, along with several unclaimed islands. In Huron, Most pirates operate off of isolated islands, or as privateers paid by Quebec. In Superior, there is a fabled pirate settlement in the northern part of Superior state. Legend says it is the home base of every pirate in the lake, likely home to hundreds.

The pirates first became prominant during the height of the Survivalist Empire. When resources were being shipped all over the Sea, raiders began to loot the resource ships and sell them on the black market. After the Empire fell, capitalist trade companies took over, multiplying trade ships. As the amount of trade ships took off, so did the amount of pirates.
