Phosphura Belt Pirates

"Many Imperial officers have learned - the hard way - that seizing a Belt pirate vessel may be the last thing their ship's log will ever record."

- Platt Okeefe

The Phosphura Belt Pirates, also referred to as the Belt Pirates, were a group of pirates roaming the Phosphura Belt Nebula. During the Galactic Civil War, they were under the command of Leo Bellsfar. In this period they were a thorn in the eye of especially the Galactic Empire.

Originally under the leadership of Arvo Norstrag, the Belt Pirates lived according to a strict codex based on honor called the Buccaneer Code. They also abided by a strict set of rules to settle internal disputes and condict businesses, referred to as the Rules of the Blade.

The Belt pirates had a rigid chain of comand. Their superior comander was called the King or Queen of the Bosphura Pirates. The King or Queen was assisted by Buccaneers who often served to command the pirates more directly and pass on the King's or Queen's oders.

The Belt pirates usually operated in the thick gaseous mists of the Phosphura Belt this remaining hidden from enemy forces. They also had several caches placed at strategical locations in the nebula, allowing them to repair and restock should it be necessary.
