Piracy in the Eastern Sea

Ever since the beginning of seafaring trade in the Eastern Sea, pirates have patrolled its waters, searching for vulnerable ships to attack and plunder. Piracy in the Eastern Sea was most prominent between the 2400s, when voyages along the entire length of the Eastern Sea first became viable, capitalising on the lucrative trade of the 2600s, and the 2700s, when the threat of pirates had been mostly eliminated by the Imperial Conoilithian Navy.
