  Hunter Pirates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hunter Pirates were an Australian basketball team, based in the city of Newcastle, that competed in the National Basketball League.
The Pirates withdrew from the NBL competition at the end of the 2005/06 season due to financial difficulties and their inability to secure a major sponsor, and the club's NBL licence was put up for sale.
In the end, the Pirates' licence was sold to a Singapore consortium, and the Singapore Slingers began competing in the 2006/07 season [2].

 Sports Australia - Basketball Match Report: Pirates Catch Fire in Townsville [Oct 19, 2005]
Coming into the match both sides had some unwanted streaks going, but it was Hunter who was able to break their run of six straight defeats on the road and in the process extend the Crocodiles losing streak to six in a row.
The Pirates, considered one of the worst road teams in the competition, put together one of their best ever performances leading the match from start to finish and at no stage did they look like getting run down courtesy of a Helms point barrage.
Hunter (3-6) will be looking to carry on from tonight’s performance when they play the second leg of the ‘Sunshine Swing’ against the Cairns Taipans on Sunday night, while the Crocodiles (4-7) will have just on 10 days to turn things around when they welcome the Wollongong Hawks to Townsville next Saturday night.

 Pirate Hunter for PC Review - PC Pirate Hunter Review
Pirate Hunter's world is plenty dynamic, and handing towns from one nation to another lets you make a major mark on the Caribbean.
Pirate Hunter comes close to being a faithful remake of Sid Meier's Pirates!, but the addition of linear scenarios, with locked game settings, doesn't add any depth or detail to make up for cutting out the open-ended style of Port Royale.
What Pirate Hunter does well is provide a healthy portion of ship combat that looks good, is easy to learn, and has enough intricacies to reward skillful play.

As in Pirates of the Caribbean, in Pirate Hunter your reputation is extremely important.
