Slipp and Strapp's crews
Slipp and Strapp's crews were two groups of sea rat corsairs led by captains Slipp and Strapp. They had two ships, the Pearl Queen, Slipp's ship, which originally belonged to Finnbarr Galedeep, as well as the Shalloo, Strapp's vessel.
Slipp was the stronger of the brothers, but Strapp was more eloquent and the crews usually sided with him. While both crews were aboard the Shalloo, a band of Redwallers, as well as some shrews and Finnbarr, boarded the Pearl Queen and took her back. Strapp and the Shalloo took chase, leaving Slipp and Blaggut behind. Through a clever trick of Finnbarr's, Strapp and both sea rat crews were drowned in the Green Maelstrom.
Meanwhile, Slipp and Blaggut found their way to Redwall Abbey. Blaggut befriended two Dibbuns, the Mousebabe and Furrtil mole. Slipp, however, was intent on taking treasure from the Abbey; he stole a golden chalice and slew Mellus, the Abbey's Badger Mother. Blaggut, seeing the evil in his captain, slew Slipp soon after and established a home near the sea, often visiting the Abbey.
