Sand Pirates are an enemy faction introduced in Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty.

History[]

The seas of Wurmwater were once home to numerous coastal communities and the major port town of Oasis. All manner of vessels, from small boats to ocean-going ships, could be seen sailing from port to port. The amount of trade available in the area also gave rise to criminal elements, notably pirates with ships of their own and the drive to steal what they didn't have.

As the years wore on the seas retreated and the seabed became a dry and desolate desert. The great old ships became stranded on the sands and occasionally saw new purpose with remnants of the old pirate bands taking up residence in the old ship hulls. New craft emerged to replace them, which were smaller, lighter, and faster, and which could traverse the desert at great speeds, thus ensuring that trade - and by extension, piracy - would continue. The pirates themselves simply adapted to life on the sands, and thus became known as sand pirates.

Involvement[]

Sand pirates are the dominant human enemies in Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty. They have a full range of light to heavy units and appear in all but two of the areas in the DLC. For the most part, these are disparate groups without any real cohesion or noticeable authority, although Captain Scarlett's crew plays a distinct role that sets them apart from the others.
