New Faction

I think it would be cool to have a new faction introduced that would be always active unless you pledge to another faction.
So, as an example; if you load into a new server or get sunk, your ship will spawn with a grade 1 emissary flag for that faction. You don't need to ever lower it, you can just vote to raise another faction whenever and it will automatically take that one down.
The way to unlock this faction could either be attaining Pirate Legend or they could create a new barrier/title which is getting level 100 in all other factions and earning the title "Pirate ..." or maybe no unlock is necessary and it is available right away?
The whole point of this faction would just be for people who like to sail around and collect treasure without doing specific faction voyages or for players who, like I mentioned, were sunk and don't want to race back to an outpost to raise another emissary. I do like the idea of it having no barriers, because it could also be more of a onboarding faction for players who are not familiar with the emissary system or who haven't purchased their first licenses from the other companies.
