After making a bright shine in the Club Penguin Army community, the Dark Pirates have turned a year old. Only being active for a year, the army has already made a name for themselves and created countless moments in the community. This anniversary is truly one of the most important and major events for the Dark Pirates.

On May 6, 2023, Ninja Leader and DefenderTide founded the Dark Pirates of Club Penguin. The army saw a lot of opportunities to shine within the community. During the Bloodbath Barrage, the Dark Pirates notably participated in the war by joining the Sapphire Concordat alongside the People’s Imperial Confederation and the Special Weapons and Tactics. Together, the alliance defeated the Dark Vikings thus winning & ending the war. Shortly after, they would participate in the Legends Cup XIII where they went against the Templars. Unfortunately for the Dark Pirates, they lost against the Crusaders. The army was already at its peak and would even be on the Top Ten Armies Leaderboard.

Unfortunately however on August 15, 2023, the army went fully inactive and the captains announced the official shutdown of the Dark Pirates.
Dark Pirates’ last event before their shutdown
Over 7 months after its shutdown, the army once again announced its return to CPA. This time, Ninja Leader led the Pirates without the army’s co-founder Tide who retired long before the army dissolved. The army made another breakthrough through the community by returning to the Top Ten Armies Leaderboard, placing eleventh. Whilst the Pirates worked to build back their sizes, they still faced obstacles along the way. After experiencing growth and overcoming challenges, they finally reached the first-anniversary mark. The Dark Pirates logged on to CPA: Battleground and celebrated the army’s creation on May 6, 2024.
