My captain is a Promethius unit whose entire crew is based around fear and omens. Spitting in the face of fate and forging your own destiny are her main tenants. They make every effort to dare the dice to cross them. Fortune telling Chira, black fleeced Mafleeca, and many a Blessed crew member are all fostered in this crew. They take in those otherwise rejected by society and give them a home.
The process to join is a tough one. It involves facing your fears and embracing them. Easy enough for an AI. Constantly living near a Promethius is usually enough, the constant threat of oblivion looming over them. With organics though, it usually requires some creativity. Nonetheless, everyone that had joined has had to go through their own special hell. They're all in this together.
As a result, this crew is much more tightly knit than the others. Theyre less likely to break under pressure and would do anything to protect their own. You wouldn't go through that hell to join if you weren't devoted. However, the intense entry requirement also means the crew is smaller. Most of their plundering techniques involve trickery, deception, and driving the enemy crew into a panic. Rumors say that they've managed to turn their lack of luck into a weapon. Ships that fight them have unusally high rates of system failure. Weapons jaming, monitor cables becoming unplugged, and war animals breaking free are common reports. The crew of the Lady Luck have learned to deal with these things. Her enemies haven't.
I was also thinking of adding a human in somewhere, but that may be a bit much. I'm not even sure if your humans would have any reason to be pirates anyway. Not particularly concerned with being the head leader either. My Promethius is most concerned with the well being of her own crew rather than the crews of others
