Template:Infobox Character Eddy Raja's Pirates are a band of ruthless pirates that appear in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and briefly in Uncharted: Eye of Indra . They are the main group of enemies encountered throughout the first half of the game.
Overview
The pirates are the most common enemies in Chapters 1 to 12 of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. They are relentless in trying to kill Nathan Drake, and are armed with PM-9mm pistols, AK-47 assault rifles, M79 grenade launchers, Micro-9mm submachine guns, Wes-44 magnums and Moss-12 shotguns; they are also equipped with Mk-NDI grenades, which they occasionally use to flush Nathan out of cover. Very rarely, they will also use turrets to try and keep Drake in cover, while some other pirates attempt to flank him.
Their leader is Eddy Raja, one of Nate's old "friends." The pirates are usually found guarding various areas on the island, such as the Ancient Fortress and the Flooded City. Eddy and his pirates are later revealed to be working for Gabriel Roman and Atoq Navarro's mercenary organization, in order to recover the El Dorado

treasure. Towards the middle of the story, Drake does not battle the pirates for quite some time, instead occupied with Roman's Mercenaries. However, they are encountered again in the Treasure Vault, where many pirates (including Raja) are massacred by mutated Spaniards (Descendants). Considering the deaths of many of the pirates and their leader, the pirates are likely disbanded. The remains of the pirates' operation is discovered at the end by Victor Sullivan, who robs them of their treasure, to compensate for the loss of El Dorado. In Chapter 16 - The Treasure Vault, the pirates use M4 assault rifles, PM-9mm pistols, SAS-12 shotguns, AK-47 assault rifles, Micro-9mm submachine guns, Wes-44 revolvers, M79 grenade launchers, and MK-NDI grenades. One pirate named Prakoso is available as a multiplayer skin in Uncharted 2 Among Thieves after you have purchased the Siege Expansion Pack. Another pirate named Mac was available after purchasing the Sidekick Skin Pack.

Nationalities
The many different pirates (who obviously don't know very much English) come mostly from one country, Indonesia (the birth place of Mr. Raja). They may also come from numerous African countries, or any other countries populated mainly by residents of darker skin tones. Some, if not all, are most likely from the slums of their homelands, given their rugged, tough, and apparently rude attitude.
Enemies
While Nathan Drake is the main foe of the pirates, they were found by Eddy Raja to be continuously dwindling in numbers, despite the only known killer being Drake. Raja believed the island was cursed, somewhat proven correct later by the Descendants coming out of the shadows. The helpless pirates would occasionally walk over the Descendants' wire traps, ending their lives in doing so.
Drake is confused by this at first, wondering why there would be traps (which he believes the pirates have made) would be set up when their own men are roaming around. He later discovers a trap made from the wreckage of Sully's downed plane, along with an inhuman footprint.
