I like the idea of a Pirate Union. The PU group, because they leave such a stink behind them... :)
Seriously, though - for independant pirates, the ones who have freelancer IFF's, this would be a workable idea. A loose grouping that will help each other pull off a job - they're more REAL criminals than anything else. When you think about it - the vast majority of the 'pirate' groups on the server aren't criminals because they want to be - they're criminals because their political activities or something else forces them to work against the lawfuls.
(I could go into a big discussion on the politics behind the Hessians, or the LWB, or the Corsairs, or the ... but I think you get the picture.)
Your group would be crooks just because they LIKE being crooks. To borrow a quote that wasn't - you're robbing the banks because that's where the money is. Or in this case, you're robbing the miners not because you have a high moral standing or to run people out of Dublin or whatever - you're doing this to get rich.
I could actually see quite a bit of forum RP out of something like this as well, because you could post 'news' reports of robberies on jewelry stores, bank robberies, and then every time you hit someone - even the ubiquitous civilian transports - you report it as a 'train' robbery.
I think my pirate that mostly works around Rhienland would be interested in something like this group.
