A Pirate King, alternatively written as pirate king, was a title bestowed upon certain pirate chiefs who wielded considerable power. In the era of the Clone Wars, the Weequay pirate known as Hondo Ohnaka was known as a pirate king. Furthermore, Gorian Shard was acknowledged as a pirate king by the inhabitants of Nevarro, notably by High Magistrate Greef Karga; even after eliminating Shard's subordinates, Karga continued to acknowledge Shard's authority.
