PIRACY AND POLITICS COLLIDE IN PIRATES OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEAS

New Asian-themed Ships, New Faction, Physical Ship Rewards Program Highlighted in Latest Expansion

 

 

                        Piracy and politics intertwine in the South China Seas!  A new faction rules these waters, one powerful enough to influence the rise and fall of even the mighty Imperial dynasties. Crewing exotic looking vessels such as the massive six-masted junk and the fearsome Dragon ship, the Jade Rebellion rules the trade routes leading in and out of these lands and seeks to keep the treasures of the South China Seas out of the hands of the imperialists from the west.
