Prototype Cruisers

The Smuggler Prototype cruisers are pirated prototype vessels, modified heavily by the smugglers who stole them. These Prototype Cruisers have a crew that is somewhat randomized every time the ship is selected in the hangar, like NPC pirate ships. They appear on page 4.

## Pirate Crew

The crew these ships can spawn with is pulled from the following list (which is coincidentially the same as NPC pirate ships):

* Human
* Human Medic
* Engi Separatist
* Zoltan
* Mantis
* Free Mantis
* Rock Outcast
* Slug
* Slug Clansman
* Leech
* Orchid Floral
* Vampweed
* Shell
* Crystal
* Phantom
* Lanius
