New Enemy

[Eliza Creststeel]

Angel,

Historically, it was superstition to have women aboard ships at all. Likely, this is stemmed from how bad lonely men would behave or get distracted from duty while at sea.

Obviously, women did sail. There are many stories of nautical women, including some of the most notorious pirates (the most powerful pirate in history was a Chinese woman, who commanded an entire fleet of ships).

It is still an issue that POTCO has not evened the genders by making more female enemies, except like the Hive Queen. EITC agents, female pirates, female native warriors, etc. are all possible.

Sadly, I think having any 'native' villians may end up being considered not politically correct. After all, right now - the human enemies are all white men. Which is too sterile. This isn't Star Wars where the baddies have to all be white, british guys.

The Hive Queen IS female, but the thing's a bug .
Anyway, the East India Company ( in History ) was mainly British white men. So I guess this could make sense for all the EITC/Navy guards ( Redcoats back in history ) to be "white, british guys."

Other than that, I agree, Eliza.
