Three Rays (zaːqjɪs θissaːʔ)
The Three Rays pirate fleet (natively Zadyis Dis'tsa) operates chiefly in the southern seas between er'Baalbados to the west and The Shrouded Continent to the east. The manta ray symbolizes their preference for swift, smooth sailing vessels. Likewise, the three manta rays represent the original three captains who favored the tactic of using three ships to swarm, surround, and loot their prey. This technique is still largely in use by the fleet today.
With the foundation of The Nine Fleets, the Three Rays conducted over a century of raids and skirmishes with The Empire of Sand until 2781 N.W. The Captains, ever savvy of profit, realized they could take in more coin and wealth by providing safe passage to the cartographic and exploratory missions out of mehr'Kuldashta than by raiding and trying to sell off the specialized equipment. This protection extended to the tradeships of The Empire of Sand while still allowing the Three Rays to prey on unsanctioned traders.
