Where there are docks, there are sailors, and where there are sailors, so too there is the Kato-kai. From running unlicensed weapons and stolen goods to operating full-blown pirate vessels in the southern islands, the Kato-kai are the law beyond the law on the coasts and on the ocean.

Players associated with the Kato-Kai automatically receive sailing and navigation proficiencies (in addition to their normal slots.)
