A Pirate King, alternatively written as pirate king, designated certain pirate chiefs who wielded significant power. In the era of the Clone Wars, the Weequay pirate known as Hondo Ohnaka bore the title of pirate king. Furthermore, Gorian Shard held the status of a pirate king within the Nevarro system; even the High Magistrate Greef Karga, although having eliminated Shard's subordinates, acknowledged and respected his authority.
