Freebooterz

Freebooterz are pirates that are Orks. They tend to distinguish their leaders apart with Hats, and appear in Dawn of War II.

Ten dead 'umiez on a dead ork'z chest, yo-ho-ho and a bottle of grog!

Orks have a tendency to become awesome. This is known by all. Pirates are awesome (especially the 17th and 18th century kind, not the modern day Somalis and Southeast Asians [read: bullshit]). Space is awesome. How about PIRATES IN SPEHSS? Freebootas are everything a pirate should be; unlike Metroid's space pirates who never seem to do any actual piracy and act more like an army of cannibalistic crabmen whose only motivation is FOR THE EVULZ, and all have about as much common sense as a sack of hammers. Also, they will make you walk the plank. In deep space. With no Space Suit (they'll have looted it already to cannibalize for parts to make/improve/repair Mega Armor.)

Reasons

An Ork can become a Freeboota for any number of reasons:

• They could be, as is the classic example, too wealthy for anyone else to stand and be kicked out of society, only to buy a ship and get off planet before someone does some real kicking (around the face area, to the upstart freeboota in question).
• They could simply be a jaded mek, big mek, warboss, warlord, or nob bored with fighting the same enemies, and defect to a more exciting life in the vastness of space.
• They could be rich mercenaries.
• They could decide to defect from a Waaagh! to fight whoever has "dat shiny ting ova der," and get so far off course that they decide to head for the nearest port and raise hell.
• They saw that their Waaagh! isn't getting too many shiny bits.
• They could be a nob who mutinied a ship and took it's warp drive "fer a spin."
• They could be Deathskulls who are so obsessed with looting that they decide normal Ork life just isn't enough for them.
• They could have woken up one day, decided "Hey, I wants ter be a pirate!", and then became a pirate. Which is totally reasonable since it worked for Chaos (though the Orks were doing it first).
• They saw that a pirate is free to do what he wants and it's alright to be because you are a motherfucking space pirate.
