Pirates are mostly what they have become under Merlwyb new structures really: privateers. They get letters of marque that allow them to continue exerting their trade (pirating) over cerain vessels, like garleans. Other than that, they are not properly integrated into the Maelstrom as far as I know.
But they hold various degrees of influence! They are a bit like the nobles/aristocracy of the Thalassocracy here. They have power, wealth, men and influence.
