==Leader's defining quote==
"The sea ... vast, mysterious ... and full of wealth! And the nations of Planet send their trade across it without a thought. Well, the sea doesn't care about them, so it lets them pass. But we can give the sea a little hand in teaching the landlubbers a lesson in humility."
-- Captain Ulrik Svensgaard, "The Ripple and the Wave"
