Strike Team Alpha

Subj: Pirates attacking our shipping lanes

In the past, we have had wolfpacks 1 thru 3 as basic squadron names. I would still like to continue this pratice. However, with VO one of our new challanges will be in dealing with Pirates, other players that have decided to become pirates, and have ambushed several of us in the game coming out of worm Holes.

So last night, Strike Team Alpha has been authorized. DrMann will be lead for this team of speciliazed pirate assians. Thier sole purpose will be to hunt down and KOS any and all pirates found lurking near WHs, and hopefully providing escort when needed. Of course, there is nothing to state that we cant have more than one strike team in wolfpack :)

Each Strike team leader will be responsible for building his own squadron and of course assisting the other strike teams when the need arises. If the pirates wanna PvP, I say lets give it to em, Wolfpack style :)

Sooooooooooooooooo,,,,if anyone has any suggestions or comments about this concept, heres the place to put it, also if anyone else wants to be a Strike team leader your more than welcome to take on the position. :)

To other guilds that would like to organize and build their own Strike teams, wolfpack will be glad to assist you in your efforts.

PS,,,Strike team leaders of course are accountable to the senior officers in WPX, IE Delta, Beta and of course Alpha leader(s)

I would definitely be interested in this duty. As Darkcreed can attest, I was on this evening hunting pirates as "Phaserlight" but the only thing that beats solo pirate-hunting is pirate-hunting with the rest of the pack. The Syndicate and the CLM will soon learn to fear the wolfpack! What must I do to apply?

History of Piracy
Title: Introduction
Author: Krzysztof Wilczyński (about)

The history of piracy dates back more than 3000 years, but its accurate account depends on the actual meaning of the word ‘pirate’. In English, the word piracy has many different meanings and its usage is still relatively new. Today, some uses of the word have no particular meaning at all. A meaning was first ascribed to the word piracy sometime before the XVII century. It appears that the word pirate (peirato) was first used in about 140 BC by the Roman historian Polybius. The Greek historian Plutarch, writing in about 100 A.D., gave the oldest clear definition of piracy. He described pirates as those who attack without legal authority not only ships, but also maritime cities. Piracy was described for the first time, among others, in Homer's The Iliad and The Odyssey. For a great many years there remained no unambiguous definition of piracy. Norse riders of the 9th and 11th century AD were not considered pirates but rather, were called "Danes" or "Vikings". Another popular meaning of the word in medieval England was "sea thieves". The meaning of the word pirate most closely tied to the contemporary was established in the XVIII century AD. This definition dubbed pirates "outlaws" whom even persons who were not soldiers could kill. The first application of international law actually involved anti-pirate legislation. This is due to the fact that most pirate acts were committed outside the borders of any country.

Sometimes governments gave rights to the pirates to represent them in their wars. The most popular form was to give a license to a private sailor to attack enemy shipping on behalf of a specific king – Privateer. Very often a privateer when caught by the enemy was tried as an outlaw notwithstanding the license. Below we tried to outline a selective history of piracy, selective and arbitrary because there is so much that can be said about piracy and it is impossible to tell all. We hope that even this brief introduction will show the spirit and truth about the piracy the way we see it.

___________________________________________

Pirates prey on the weak, kill for profit or pleasure, or both.
In a civilized society, they are considered Criminals.
I call on all guilds and honest players to make note of ambush positions, pirate names. I call on all avaliable technology, no matter how unfair the pirates may deem it, to battle said pirates. If Skillless homers do the job, develope them, use them, if it takes 10 to destroy 1, then so be it. If any trader is attacked, with or without warning by a pirate, I call on all civilized peoples to stalk, hunt down and destroy said pirate as many times as it takes to deliver the message that piracy will not be toloerated any longer.
Pirates choose thier profession, it is not choosen for them, let them bear the burden for their decisions.
Show no mercy, for they will show us no mercy, let the hunter become the hunted.
