## Summery

The Space Pirates are a collection of species that seeks to become the dominant force in the galaxy, and their technology may help them realize this goal. Ruthless and amoral, the Pirates care little for the cost of their ambition. Only the results matter and they take these very seriously.

## Civilization Stats

**Tier 6 Stellar:** The Space Pirates have the means and technology to harness the power of the star, likely higher with their means of FTL travel. They can even enhance their own physiology with bionics and/or substance consumption.

## Power Sources

**Energy Source: Paraphernalia**

**Science:** FTL Travel (Their space ships have the mean to travel faster than light to get to places quickly in the galaxy.)

**Nature:** Alien Physiology (The Space Pirates are a mixture of various races that have their own abilities)

## Conquest Stats

**Tier 6-B: Star System:** The Space Pirate possess multiple planets as bases of operation and a homeplanet, form there they used them to perform enhancement tests and launch raiding parties on unsuspecting colonies.

## Power Stats

**DC: Large Star:** Mother Brain with self destruct that destroys Zebes. **Planet**: Ridley, being one of the most prominent Generals is able to match Samus in her Fusion Gravity Suit, which should be stronger than her Power Bombs which can destroy planets. **Planet**: Other highest level Pirate leaders should be around Ridley's level. **Planet**: They have shown the ability to destroy to destroy planets, whether it be with the Mirco-Black Hole Creation, Which according to the Space Pirates, could destroy a planet if let loose; through the bombardment of Leviathans; or augmenting themselves to reach similar levels, such as the Omega Pirate. **Multi-Continent+**: via Self-Destruct which blew up a massive portion of Zebes. **Country**: Fought off Pre-Zero Mission Varia Suit Samus Aran, who managed to destroy her shields, which even tactical missiles capable of destroying countries could not destroy. **Town**: Powerful Space Pirates could easily kill Zero Suit Samus' when she managed to survive a crash landing on Zebes, forcing her to rely on her Paralyzer and run away rather than physically combating the pirates.

**Dura: Planet:** High level leaders such as Mother Brain and Ridley are capable of taking a heavy beating from Gravity Suit Samus. **Country**: Mother Brain managed to tank hits from Varia Suit Samus. **Town**: Regular Pirates can tank attacks from Zero Suit Samus which could only use Paralyzer weapon.

**Speed: FTL:** The flight speed of fighters and carriers in space, sometimes able to match the speed of Arwings. **Massively FTL+**: Mother Brain and Ridley and other high level which can tag Fusion Gravity Suit Samus in combat speed and reactions. **Massively FTL+**: Outraced Samus' ship which has been calced to be at a mid-end of 10,000,000c, and can fight Samus, who can tag him while he's flying. **Massively Hypersonic+** Ridley can easily get the drop on Samus. **Superhuman** Mother Brain movement speed. **Below Average Human** Mother Brain movement speed with at least **Massively Hypersonic+** combat speed and reactions. **Superhuman**: The speed of regular Space Pirate troopers.

## Strengths/Pros

The Pirates mostly value hit and run tactics which they have many successes on unsuspecting Earth Colonies, they even plunder to gain access to new forms powers and traits that they can use for combat. They are also very devoted to a code of honor, rather than failure or capture, they would choose death via suicide attacks. The Pirates each possess their own set of weapons and equipment, such as the Zebesian Pirates were equipped with a claw-like energy weapon on both arms, which fired when the claws were opened. However, all other known Space Pirate were commonly equipped with some type of projectile weapon on the right wrist, while a retractable energy scythe was mounted on the left. They are capable of even climbing on walls and ceilings to have various vantage points to attack their enemies with.

## Weaknesses/Flaws

Because they are Pirates, they rarely go on full-scale warfare, rather going about by stealthy attacking the Federation and planets. They only exist for war purposes, so they started mass producing and became careless about the quality of their weapons or their safety
