Space pirate

Space Pirates are a type of stock characters from science fiction. They operate as pirates in outer space and travel by spacecraft, as opposed to the more traditional pirates on the high seas of Earth, who travel by ship. However, just as traditional seafaring pirates target sailing ships, space pirates serve a similar role in sci-fi media: they capture and plunder spaceships for cargo, loot and occasionally they steal the entire ship itself. However, their dress and speech may vary; it may correspond to the particular author's vision of the future, rather than their seafaring precursors. On the other hand, space pirates may be modeled after stereotypical sea pirates.The term Space pirate referred to the variety of rogues that were scattered across the galaxy who would attack, rob or commandeer ships as they saw fit.The term originated with terrestrial sea pirates of various planet,mainly on various earth,Atlantis and so forth.A  pirate is an individual who robs others of their  money or possessions, typically aboard their  ships or  starships. A pirate who operates on behalf of a  government is known as a  privateer. ==History==While their actions were inherently illegal, the morals of various pirates varied considerably. Some were cutthroat brigands who were petty murderers or thieves, but others, such as Nym, had a set of morals that prohibited killing the innocent, and generally restricted their actions to the rich. Other pirates, referred to as "privateers", operated under the sanction of governments or organizations like the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Privateers tended to hold themselves to a more "civilized" standard than other pirates, and restricted their activities to specific targets. Most pirates were orphans or citizens that were unemployed because of either being uneducated or having a lust for adventure, riches or anarchy. Indeed, on a few occasions, pirates have pulled through to help the galaxy as a whole. Nym himself aided the Naboo around the time of the Battle of Naboo by destroying a Trade Federation droid foundry on Eos, and helping the Naboo resistance hold off an army attempting to flank the Gungans on the Naboo plains. A popular weapon of space pirates was the ion cannon. The ion cannon could disable an entire ship and therefore would be easier to board and loot. Pirate gangs operated as two groups: the boarding group and the attack group. The attack group would disable the ship and its weapons and the boarding group would breach the ship's hull to steal or plunder whatever they could find (credits, chronos, comlinks and blasters). Some pirates lent their services to other organizations, such as the Rebel Alliance or the Zann Consortium.Types of Star Pirates are Gorthan Star Pirates,Kalladon Star Pirates,Calzhon Space Pirates, The most identifiable symbol of the pirate was the Blazing Claw.Skull,with six swords and wings ==Notable pirate symbols and insignia====See also==* List of space pirates* Hostis humani generis==External links==* http://spacepirate.co.uk Space Pirate
