The most feared and most organized group of pirates on the seas of Alastari. Transel's navy rules the bay that Transel is housed in (this bay is referred to as the Bay of Ardivent by the Andorians and Transel Bay by the Delarquans), and demands (and usually gets) tribute from every ship that has to pass through the bay. Fees for their protection (i.e., protection FROM them) are steep, but a lot of merchants pay it rather than lose their entire shipment. Runners through the Transel web are highly sought after sailors and very few attempt it, for Transel is known to take prisoners--good sailors are put on crews (pressganged) and considered as ensigns in their military. Punishment for desertion is flogging, keel-hauling, slow hanging, or castration. The Transel Navy web extends from the island of Transel north to Kaltos, south to the Osksi bay, and west to Sestagos. The port at Valamantis pays a high price for being the major importer/exporter through the Transel Web.
