Reevers' Alliance:
Red Fleet: led by the Red Pirate, a figure whose identity is kept secret, a rotating list of legendary pirates over the years. They operate out of Merukis.
Empire of Blood: founded by Merian Blood, they operate out of Merukis. They kill slavers on sight.
Merukisi Enforcers: the neutral but small fleet of Enforcers who protect the port of Merukis.
Tenbones Family: a Merukisi pirate family who control a small fleet of moderate reevers.
Merciless Brotherhood: founded by Zanil the Merciless, they operate out of Merukis. There is no limit to their villainy, save that they respect the codes of Merukis.
Vace's Own: founded by Donali Vace, they are Merukisi pirates whose operations mostly involve targeting major corporate ships.
Trask Family: a family of goblin pirates operating out of Merukis who work with the Order of the Chrysanthemum.

The Reevers' Alliance is the pact made between the pirates of Merukis. Red, Blood, Merciless, Enforcers, Vace's Own, Tenbones, Trask, and sometimes Violet are the main fleets. Others come and go. Gallus Mag, owner of the Bucket, is a part of the Council. An empty chair is left for the long-lost Rosiel Rhea. There are 16 chairs total.

Their main rules include no slaving, maintain Merukis's independence, do not disrupt the business of the island too much, and no polluting the port. Their focus is protecting their vaunted freedoms.

Occasionally, the Night Fleet, Crimson Fleet, or Sparrow Fleet ally or join the Alliance.
