 |//Example of a small pirate crew; Three goblins, two Hobgoblins, and one Orc//|
+==== Attire ====
+The average attire and wear in the dreadfleet are a mix of leathers such as duster-style jackets, leather boots, and tricorn hats. Fabrics such as cotton or nylong shirts. And armors such as hardsuits or bodyarmor.
+The actual fashion is reminiscent of older-pirate aesthetics. Tattoos, earrings or studs, and jewelry are very popular.
+While most clothing is either unisex or similar enough between the genders there are some differences.
+=== Male Attire ===
+Men in the dreadfleet often favor tricorn hats, some kind of facial hair such as beards, goatees, or simply stubble, and when affordable wear duster-style longcoats which help to conceal weaponry. Weapons or items not concealed are often held on large and sturdy leather belts that either cross/criss-cross the chest or sit on the waist.
+Ankle-length leather boots or well-worn leather gloves are common.
+Men in the dreadfleet when not dressed as such may also favor hardsuits if parts of boarding crews, or rudimentary body armor (often looted or poorly repaired).
+=== Female Attire ===
+Female attire in the dreadfleet is not overly different from the males. Leathers and tricorns are just as in fasion but are often more intricate or expensive; Sporting trimming or embroidery. Knee-length leather boots or elbow-length leather gloves are in high demand among those who can afford them and colored sashes on either the arms, waist, thighs, or wrists are popular among females.
+Jewlery such as earing studs or hoops, piercings, anklets or bracelets, or necklaces are highly popular among female pirates even more so than most female stereotypes where it is not uncommon to find a goblinette wearing nearly her weight in gold jewlery as a symbol of status or veterancy to have accumulated such wealth. Tattoos are also highly popular and some females in the dreadfleet treat their body as a canvas to show off making bodices, bikini-style leather braziers, and corsets are highly popular among female pirates who dont care to flaunt.
 ===== Government and Politics =====
 The Dreadfleet is a mertirocracy; Meaning that its leaders and government are neither voted nor selected but are an ever-changing roulette of those who have //seized// power through often underhanded means such as betrayal, blackmail, coercion, or mutiny.

 All matters pertaining to the dreadfleet as a whole and the actions taken are voted on by the various pirate lords. These matters, however, are often very simple and often revolve around where each fleet can or should raid and the just as frequent vote called by several pirate lords banding together in an attempt to backstab one of their fellows in an attempt to steal their ships, men, or treasures.
+Each pirate lord also have captains or commodores with their own fleets under them who answer to exclusively the pirate lord they owe allegiance to.
+==== RedCaps ====
+Each pirate lord has often a group, or groups, of their most elite and trusted men known as //RedCaps// due to the signature red caps they wear as a sign of rank and station. These redcaps are speculated to be dyed red in the blood of a pirate lord's enemies and rivals.
+Redcaps are the most veteran fighters and specialists in any pirate lords forces and usually carry the better gear or equipment available and while their pirate lord might travel in a makeshift battleship it is most common for red caps to prefer actual military ships that have been captured as compared to makeshift retrofitted vessels; Making them just as dangerous in a void battle to have to come across a well equipped and competently-crewed vessel. Unline most pirates they are akin to an actual trained military force with the gear, discipline, and tactics to match and are worth well over a hundred times their number of simple pirates.
+Redcaps also serve as elite boarding teams for their pirate lord when a particularly tricky vessel must be boarded or if the pirate lord wants a specific vessel captured with minimal damage.
+All of this gives Redcaps an impressive and respectful reputation and few pirates would stand up to offend a redcap intentionally. Especially when seeing a group of redcaps often means a pirate lord or one of their high-ranking captains being guarded or escorted by them is not far away.

 The rocket arbalest is not uncommon in the dreadfleet but neither is it well used within its ranks due to how coveted it is, resulting in many a pirate lucky enough to get his or her hands on one either having it stolen, or taken off their corpse when they end up in a tragic //accident//. It is the standard-issue weapon for //redcaps// and is most often seen in the hands of higher-ranked pirates on a ship such as the first or second mate.

+==== Flechette Gun ====
+The Flechette gun is a hand-held pistol with six rotary barrels. The gun has a detachable magazine that contains two 30-dart drums for a total of 60 flechette darts. Each dart is enclosed with a caseless shell with a propellant that launches it out of the barrel with tremendous speed and velocity.
+The tradeoff for having so much firepower is the insane fire-rate of the weapon and its difficulty to control making it wildly inaccurate in any case where the objective isnt pure saturation.
+The flechette gun is popular in ship boardings due to its advantage in the close-quarters fighting of packed ship corridors.

 ==== Energy Cutlass ====
-The standard melee and boarding weapon for pirates of the dreadfleet is the //energy cutlas//. It is a conductive metal blade with a section lacking an edge that is energized and generates a reflective bean of energy along its edge that can cut through most surfaces or armors with relative ease.

 The energy cutlass has a self-sustaining charge that only drains when the energy blade makes contact with mater, and as such has decent battery life enough to make it through a fight or two.

+==== Boarding Axe ====
+More popular among Hobs and Orcs than the smaller goblins the boarding axe is an intimidating axe with an energized head much like the energy cutlass'. They are extremely handy in cutting through sealed bulkheads, barricades, or armor.
+Smaller and even throwing version of the boarding axe exist.
