Barbary Threat
The American Revolution has ended. The Thirteen Colonies have defeated the British Empire and gained their independence. But now, the newly formed United States have a new threat to deal with… the mighty Barbary corsairs!
These dangerous pirates and privateers operate from the coastal regions of North Africa, known as the Barbary Coast, a mixture of Muslim sovereign states belonging to the Ottoman Empire.
Without the protection of the powerful British fleet, the US trade ships traveling through the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean become easy prey to the Barbary pirates. The American ships are raided, the crew becomes murdered, enslaved, or taken for ransom.
The situation is dire for the newly born nation and only you can help! Take command of a small fleet, confront the pirates, and secure the trade routes for the American merchant ships!
