Corvus is a whole other ball of wax, yet to be revealed. They are technically not pirates, they're just morally ambivalent and make use of pirates. They are more enigmatic, and ultimately far more dangerous than any group of pirates. I intend to start dropping more hints once I have more gameplay mechanics for hint-and-rumor-dropping.

Hahaha. Pirates are tools.

Seriously, though, I'm looking forward to the New Corvus™.
