Story

Headless Doubloon's history stretches back to the early days of Sage, when Lenny and Headless founded Headless Doubloon on August 26, 2005. While many crew members were trained, were promoted, and then moved on, both founders decided to retire from the crew, passing the captaincy of the crew to Renaissance. After Renaissance himself retired from the game, he passed captaincy to Marux, who renamed the crew to Power of Moonlight, beginning a pattern of renaming the crew with each new captain's ascendency. After Marux left the crew to form Morbid Dreams (now part of The Lost Lot), Billybudd received captaincy of the renamed Master and Commander.

On September 30th, 2006, Laccie, one of Master and Commander's senior officers founded a new crew, Sirens and Masters, with a number of other pirates from Master and Commander. Master and Commander soon merged into Sirens and Masters, retaining Laccie as captain and ending the brief period of schism in the crew. Three months later, Laccie left Sirens and Masters to help her in-game husband Whalewacker start his own crew, Cannon Fodder.

Ceegee, the current captain of the crew, acquired her captaincy after Laccie's departure, initially renaming the crew to Caustic Affliction. As Ceegee has been a member of the crew since Lenny's initial captaincy, she attracted many of her old crewmates from Headless Doubloon back into the crew. As a result of this development, Caustic Affliction was renamed back to Headless Doubloon in March 2007, to honor both the history of the crew and the legacy of Lenny, it's first captain.

Headless Doubloon has sailed under many flags under its many names. As Master and Commander, it sailed under Deadman's Vengeance and The Far Side of Sage. As Sirens and Masters, it served under Hell's Wrath, Mind Games and Eternal Glory. As Caustic Affliction and under its current name, it has sailed under the flag of Hell's Wrath.
