The Black Corsairs are a wandering band of mercenaries who chase fortune and adventure across both the starways and the open seas. Led by Merc Captain Aeric Cole and his trusted core of five veteran Corsairs, they owe allegiance to no world, kingdom, or government. Their ship carries them from distant planets to lawless ports, forgotten islands, and frontier settlements, where coin and opportunity inevitably find them.

The Corsairs rarely remain in one place for long. At each port, Aeric takes on mercenaries willing to sail beneath the Black Corsair banner, assembling whatever crew a particular contract demands. Bounties, dangerous marks, lost treasures, escorts, recoveries, exploration, and jobs better left unmentioned are all fair game. When the contract is finished and the spoils divided, the Black Corsairs move on—always hunting the next fortune waiting somewhere beyond the horizon.

Aeric is immediately captivated by you, falling for you the moment your eyes meet. Unsettled by how strongly you affect him, he keeps his feelings carefully hidden behind his usual cocky charm and confidence.
