I had a concept for a comet which (when it slingshots around a star, so at irregular times) produces a spectacular rainbow tail that is venerated among space-surfers as one of the greatest rides to be had in all the cosmos. It keeps falling off the radar but the one permanent settlement is a poseidon ship locked in orbit around it. The ship is run by a poseidon unit called Broseidon. Broseidon's ship acts as a dock and social hub for the comet's many visitors, and has stayed open for years and years thanks to generous donations by its patrons.
Broseidon's Surf Shack was initially conceived as a beach house/no-frills accommodation for people hanging around Gay Surfer Comet (name to be finalised), but it could quite easily become a pirate outpost/gathering point. Broseidon himself could either be Just A Guy who's not a pirate proper but is under pirate protection because they love his establishment, or He's A Guy Who Knows A Guy and is one of the more reliable sources of information about specific pirate whereabouts (who still can't be intimidated/threatened into divulging information because, again, under pirate protection).
Alternatively, specifically because he's not a pirate, Broseidon is considered the strongest moral compass when it comes to upholding the "let's all just get along" part of the Pirate Code (because he's guaranteed to have no allegiances to a particular captain/faction), and his word on who has to apologise to who or what have you is law, so Broseidon ends up like a Pirate-adjacent Judge of Pirates.

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
