Deadrunners are one of the two types of pirates on the planet of Lumar. They are most notably notorious for being the type of pirates that will kill a person, or as Tress put it; "...an entire ship's worth of people."

Culture

In general, piracy is permitted in the Emerald Sea, although if you are known as a pirate or pirate vessel, you will be imprisoned and fined for your activity.[citation needed] Pirate crews will often trade, sell or bargain crew members from other ships in order to augment their crews,[citation needed] however; it is stated that no one will accept a crew from a deadrunner ship.[citation needed] Ann notes that there is no mercy shown to deadrunner crews, and in fact, even other pirates will hate you.[1]

Captain Crow notes that deadrunners generally live lives of opulence, but only in frenzied outbursts. And as most deadrunner lives are bound to be short, that opulence should be enjoyed quickly.[2]
