Sea Raiders
"When the flow of income stops, they will be forced to deal with us!"The Umayyads of Al-Andalus built a nation with strong trade connections to the Mediterranean. Such a naval trade network required a powerful navy to protect it, and so the Umayyads fielded a mighty fleet built from the Iberian Peninsula's abundant timber resources. Umayyad ships were known to be generally larger than other ships of the period and, not content to simply protect trade, the fleet also took an active role in raiding. At first they raided the coast but, emboldened by success and good fortune, began striking out into the Mediterranean proper, eventually becoming known for piracy and showing no mercy to any ship unfortunate enough to cross their path. This state of affairs continued long after the Reconquista, with "Barbary pirates" still causing problems in the region a thousand years later.
