You would be right, MOM. A pre-void century pirate crew would be a bit much, since we have no idea what happened then. But I'm saying POST void century, in an era that in theory we can make decent predictions about. Any argument against this would in fact backfire by deed of also applying to all fan fiction....

so all in all I think we can get away with this.
