Squat Pirates are renegade members of the Squat Abhuman race, that are involved in Piracy.^[1]

Description

Squat Pirate^[1]

Before they became Pirates, each was made an outcast by their own Kin for various reasons. This can include showing cowardice in battle, which disgraced not only themselves but also their Kin as well. Or they were judged by Squat society as being uncouth outsiders. This led some to become Pirates after being forced to flee the Squat's Homeworlds, while others did so to seek glory and riches. Whatever their reason for doing so, the Kin of Squat Pirates were relieved to be rid of them. However it is wise to never ask a Squat why they became a pirate, as some of these renegades are noted for being dangerously unpredictable.^[1]

Leadership

Squat Pirate Captains are known for being gruff and stubborn individuals, who expect much from their crews. Though due to the rigid system of kinship amongst the Squat Homeworlds, even the most dastardly Squat Pirate Captain will still have a sense of fair play and honour - at least amongst their own kind.^[1]
