Pirates

Pirates are one of the primary factions in RimWorld. They are relatively technologically advanced, perpetually hostile and appear in every game. This making them one of the primary humanoid threats to be faced as they will raid the player the entire game unless every faction base is elimintated.

Their technology is similar to Outlanders, making them the Outlander equivalent to the Tribes' Savage variant.

Lore

A loose confederation of pirate gangs who've agreed to mostly fight outsiders instead of fighting each other.
Pirates don't sow, they don't build, and they rarely trade. Driven by a blood-and-honor culture that values personal strength and ruthlessness, they enrich themselves by raiding and robbing their more productive neighbors.
Their technology level depends mostly on who they've managed to steal from recently. Mostly they carry gunpowder weapons, though some prefer to stab victims at close range. - In Game Description.

Pirate faction leaders are called the "Boss".
