Privateers are privately owned or corporate vessels especially outfitted for one job - fighting! Privateers are usually yachts, freighters or obsolete military vessels which have been re-armed and upgraded. They vary in size from that of an assault scout to ships almost as large as a cruiser. Privateers hunt down pirates, protect corporation vessels from Sathar and other enemy ships, and sometimes act as pirate ships themselves. They can be armed in many different ways, but are generally not as wall armed as military vessels. Despite their relatively high cost, the versatility and high performance aspects of privateers are causing them to appear more and more frequently throughout the frontier.
Privateers are more common in "Corporate Wars", played a major role in the "Laco's War", and they helped in the struggles to control trade to mineral-rich Alcazzar.
