Pirate Technology

For all that bad stuff that bad people use.

Weapons

• Palmers, unmarked and with the 'warning squeak' function disabled. See also Palmers in Alliance Military Technology for the legitimate variant.
• "Hedgehogs," physical missiles bearing thermonuclear warheads, surrounded by rods that pulse radiation after detonation. Physical missiles of this type are extremely unusual, having been superseded by laser fire and entropy packets.
• Dusters: Capable of cloaking objects. Generally considered too expensive to completely hide pirate ship, but it's not out of the question.

Other Technology

There's probably a fair bit of it in In Extremis.
