A master-crafted privateer, the HMS Pegasus is not a mere pirate dinghy but a specialised ship intended to outmanoeuvre, outsail, and outwit the enemy vessel before stripping her of her riches. Harking back from a time when the younger sons of wealthy families did not inherit their family's fortune but instead sailed the seas seeking their own, the Pegasus was built to carry young adventurers of refined tastes far from home in search of derring do and treasures untold.
