Red Dolphins

The Red Dolphins were a pirate fleet under the command of Feng Naryoga. They operated in the South Persidian War, preying on Kamkaran and Kaiganese shipping between 723 and 738, when they were wiped out by the Kamkaran admiral Ran Hansha at the Battle of Horufunga.
The Red Dolphins take their name from an old Balayan legend: red dolphins are said to be the maritime soldiers of the Balayan god of death. In reality these are probably an offshoot of the People of the Town-on-the-Water, but this didn't stop Feng from taking the mantle upon himself.
The Dolphins operated a fleet of over forty ships at their peak, ranging from fast, small galleys to lumbering junks captured from their rare forays north to Tianguo. Feng was more than a competent commander, having spies in many major ports and tailoring his raiding fleet to take on a diverse array of targets. 
Eventually the Kamkaran naval authorities sent the recently-promoted admiral Ran Hansha to destroy the Red Dolphins, and Ran quickly found a Dolphin resupply base on the island of Euyja. After attacking and destroying this base he was able to torture the location of the main base out of his prisoners, and after resupplying and repairing his fleet he engaged the Red Dolphins off the coast of their base at Horufunga.
The Dolphins were soundly defeated and Feng's flagship sunk. Now leaderless, the Red Dolphins attempted to flee in all directions but were intercepted and sunk one by one over the course of several days. There are no reports of survivors - Ran Hansha specifically forbade his sailors from picking up survivors of the pirate wrecks.
