Create a new rule entitled “Pirates”:

A band of Somalarian pirates has commandeered a light cruiser which they have christened The Bloody Inquisitor LXIII. They now roam this quadrant in search of loot and plunder. There exists a gameplay entity called Pirates which is tracked in the GNDT. The Pirates are treated as a Captain for the purposes of Dynastic Rules, except that they do not need to spend Energy in order to perform Activities. If the Pirates’ Ship Class is ever “-”, they are deleted from the GNDT and this rule is deleted as well.

Once per day, and only if it has not been performed that day, any Captain may cause the Pirates to Pillage by performing the following actions on behalf of them, in order:

1) Raid every Captain who shares their Position, in random order.
2) Raid the Sector that corresponds to their Position, if that Sector isn’t Brown.
3) If the Sector corresponding to their Position is Brown, Jump to a random adjacent Sector that isn’t Brown. If none exist, instead Jump to a random adjacent Sector.

Whenever the Pirates are permitted to transfer Resources from another Captain to them, they always take the maximum possible number of Resources. The types of Resources that are destroyed or transferred due to the Pirates’ actions may be chosen by the Captain acting on their behalf. Every decision that is randomly determined on behalf of the Pirates must be handled through DICE rolls in the GNDT, with the interpretation of the results clearly indicated beforehand.

Create the Pirates in the GNDT with the Fighter Class. They have 1 Speed, 18 Firepower and a Hold of 50. Roll DICE4 to decide their Position: on a 1, they start in Namek; on a 2, in Gallifrey; on a 3, in Naos and on a 4, in Ophiuchus.
