[QUOTE="DrunkonDuty, post: 5510540, member: 54364"] Something syncretic for sure. Pirates come from all cultures and mix and match freely from them all to create a hodge podge of superstitions. Some might hark back to ancient (or not so ancient) tales of the golden age of (planet-bound, sea based) piracy. They may make heroes/gods out of the more famous pirates. Oaths like "Teach's smoking beard!" or "Blood's Balls!" (Yes I know Captain Blood was a movie pirate, but do the space pirates?) On a similar note: "Flynn's Mighty Member!" or "Rathbone's Snarl!" I also like the idea of anthropomorphising (is that even a word?) Space. It is the single most important thing in their lives. They live by space travel and preying on others who also live by space travel. They probably spend most of their time in space. And let's not forget the constant sense of danger, isolation and the ever present reminder of one's insignificance against the infinite Void. Funeral oration something like "From the Void we are born, to the Void we return." And just generally swearing by it. "Great Space!" and that sort of thing. cheers. [/QUOTE]
