Bonnie's Beauties
Discovering Pistols unlocks purchase of Bonnie's Beauties and Veteran Bonnie's Beauties.
Handpicked and trained by the legendary Pirate Captain "Bonnie" Anne O'Malley her very own self, "Bonnie's Beauties" are defensive crew that are as deadly with a brace of pistols as they are a-pleasin' to the eye. They can put two shots 'twixt a boarder's deadlights at twenty paces before the swabs think to stop gawkin' and draw their cutlasses!

Skirmisher
Discovering Spyglass unlocks purchase of Skirmishers and Veteran Skirmishers.
If yer wish be to tickle an attacker's guts with a blade, 'tis the Skirmishers ye'll be wantin' to do the ticklin'! These be yer best defensive crew by far... masters of close combat, they earn their share of the booty by teaching would-be boarders to dance with their Barbary scimitars. Their size makes them easy targets during attacks, so keep them below-decks as a surprise for uninvited guests.

Grenadier
Discovering Bursting Shells unlocks purchase of Grenadiers and Veteran Grenadiers.
Mad as rabid dogs and twice as ugly, your grenadiers can turn any attacking squad of raiders into mincemeat! But be ye warned - black powder grenades are fiendishly temperamental.

Cuirassier
Discovering Small Arms unlocks purchase of Cuirassiers and Veteran Cuirassiers.
Spanish Cuirassiers are a fearsome addition to yer defensive crew. Shelled-up tight as a lobster and armed like a one man o' war, any pirate would do well to think twice before chargin' into their guns. Still, in all that armor they'd sink faster than a greased cannon ball during an attack. Best to use them for defense.

Man O' War
Discovering Armor Plating unlocks purchase of Men O' War and Veteran Men O' War.
Yarghhh! Can you picture the look on your foe's ugly face at the sight of your Man Of War's topsail flying over your home port? It's a wonderful image if you don't mind me saying, sir. With 40 carronades and 10 twelve-pound long guns, the Man Of War is a devastating defender... It's a pity she handles like a beached whale. Best to keep her close to home.

Flying Dutchman
Discovering Flight unlocks purchase of Flying Dutchmen and Veteran Flying Dutchmen.
Not to be confused with the black cursed ship doomed to sail the seas for eternity, the Flying Dutchman is simply old Master Jan Van Der Voort's experimental flying prototypes. The Flying Dutchmen are effective scouts when planning raids - or defending against your enemies' scouting parties.

Dragon Lady
Discovering Dragon's Tooth unlocks purchase of Dragon Ladies and Veteran Dragon Ladies.
After Madame Ching's Dragon Ladies came ashore, your First Mate reported a sudden increase in peg-legs and missing fingers - and then a mysterious new grasp of gentlemanly behavior among the crew. Pretty as mermaids and twice as deadly, these defensive mercenaries aren't to be trifled with.

Zhangzhou Elite
Discovering Dragon's Eye unlocks purchase of Zhangzhou Elite and Veteran Zhangzhou Elite.
The Zhangzhou Elite were the core of General Qi Jiguang's forces that crushed the dreaded Waiku Pirates - but it seems like the good General doesn't pay so well - har, har - so these boys have cast their lot with us now. They live to turn raiding brigands into shark bait - but are hopeless landlubbers. Keep them at home.

The mainstay of Madame Ching's defensive fleet, Junks lay in wait in your Haven's harbor - just another harmless fishing boat or trader. By the time any hapless attacking scum see the decks bristling with grinning faces, cannon, and blades... it's far too late to run.
