A nimble and sure-footed combatant, the Buccaneer can charge across heaving decks during a storm and either ram its gaff into adversaries or sweep them into the ocean. Its weighted net entangles enemies to set up an easy kill for its own weapon or the sailors fighting alongside it.
Buccaneers are heavily modified from the Seafarer, an older but popular laborjack chassis originating in the Ordic city of Berck. The Seafarer’s inferior movement system resulted in poor performance on difficult waters; indeed, the ’jack was always at risk of pitching overboard in high seas. Engineers solved this drawback by incorporating pneumatic pistons into the feet and legs and modifying the cortex to react to heaving decks.
A small fishing concern first rigged a Buccaneer with a gaff and a weighted net and found the additions equally successful against both hostile boarders and hull grinders. The ’jack has since enjoyed wide popularity, including aboard pirate vessels seeking a warjack able to keep its feet during turbulent brawls above deck.
