Southsea Buccaneers

The Southsea Buccaneers are a band of notorious pirates who have been sailing the seas for many years. Their crew knows no race or creed, but merely demands loyalty and honor from those that would join them. (The Southseas Buccaneers hordeside are something of a reflection of this - the idea is that the crew is not composed of Horde or Alliance only, but outlaws from both factions).
Despite numerous crimes against the kingdom of Stormwind and its allies, the Buccaneers have gained amnesty through the accidental recovery of an artifact of extreme importance to the Scourge, which was delivered to the Stormwind leadership and used to bargain for pardon, provided that the pirates ceased their hostilities against Stormwind's outputs and allies. The crew chose this route after numerous run-ins with the undead Scourge, and came to the realization that the protection and resources of the Alliance would be necessary for survival in conflict against the armies of Arthas. Currently, the Buccaneers exist in a state of uneasy truce with the formal leadership of the Alliance. They do not recognize any established Alliance or Horde authority as their soverign, but work in concert with them for their mutual benefit. They do not fight the Alliance or Horde's wars against each other or other foes, but will join them in pursuit of their own interests when it suits them.
The Buccaneers have formed an alliance with the Northrend Commonwealth and its allies, as the Commonwealth has a distinct interest in reclaiming the land of Northrend from the Scourge, which overlaps the Buccaneers' purpose in resisting the growing Scourge presence in their own territories. They have joined the Commonwealth and its allies in its struggles against numerous foes, though their purposes are often different from the Commonwealth's. The Buccaneers seek riches and glory, caring little for the idealogical crusades of so many of Azeroth's other factions. Where there is profit to be gained or a name to be made, you can be certain that you'll find the Buccaneers there. In this pursuit, they have joined their allies in Outland, a rich territory ripe for plunder, and more importantly, free from the political boundaries of Azeroth.
