Book 2 - The Trojan Reach, p25

The free pirates of the Reach use Sindal subsector as their base of operations, especially the ‘pirate world’ of Theev. As of 1105, the best-known pirates are:

• Admiral Darokyn: A former Imperial navy officer who fled the Imperium and made his name as a pirate. He operates out of Theev and commands a fleet of pirate ships, said to number more than fifty vessels. Other tales claim he still has allies in the Imperial Navy who protect his followers from hunters.
• Peytr Vallis: A newcomer, Vallis has had great success preying on Aslan traders along the border. Other pirates are said to be less than happy about Vallis stirring up the Hierate’s wrath, but the young captain seems to have a vendetta.
• The Ghost: A legend among pirates of the Reach, the Ghost is more thief than pirate. Whenever a ship vanishes without a shot being fired, the Ghost is held to be responsible.
• Hroal Irontooth: An Aslan outcaste, Hroal fled the Hierate with a retinue of a dozen warships, including a Halaheike-class pocket warship. His name comes from his cybernetically-enhanced jaws strong enough to bite through battle dress.
• The Dread Pirate Ashan: The reaver Ashan is perhaps the most feared pirate in the Reach. She rarely strays into the Borderlands, preferring to attack independent worlds with her band of cutthroats.
• Zuekhvi the Corsair: A Vargr born and bred to space, Zuekhvi has escaped Imperial hunting patrols time and again. No-one knows the trade route worlds better than him.
