The Marimo Pirates

The Tempest Pirates (テンペスト海賊, Tenpesuto no Kaizoku) are a crew of pirates and the protagnists of Grand Voyage. They are lead by their captain, Dhahaka D. Knave, and they are named after his own epithet, The Green Tempest. Their name also comes from the large amounts of "wanton destruction" they often engage in wherever they stop. Their first official ship was called The Shooting Star, but was later destroyed during the Strong War. During their two-year hiatus, their shipwright, Carson, built an entirely new ship for them, though he still used the Star's keel, beefing it up with Adam wood. Their new ship was christined the Falling Sky.
