A Freebooter is a piratical Ork who exists on the fringe of Ork kultur. Freebooterz are Greenskin bandits and sell-swords belonging to no specific tribe or klan but who will work with any tribe as well as stand against any other if the price is right.

Freebooter warbands are composed of an amalgam of Ork mobs from several different warbands or Orks who have separated themselves from their former klan or tribe by choice or through exile. These roving bands are composed of renegades, bandits, pirates and other outcasts.
