Privateer is a group of people who are simply fighting for his life in the Area. In grouping set is not particularly strict discipline, it is conducive to cohesion of the group members. Their main goal is to act independently. Think the same than all the other stalkers - mining artifacts, hunting mutants, orders of a different nature. "Privateers" try not to conflict with other groups, on the contrary, they try to maintain contacts, both in the Area and on the mainland.
