Void Reivers

Travel beyond the core systems of Ikarus was a dangerous affair with navigation lanes beset with Void Reivers. These star-faring pirates were often secretly in the employ of higher powers and raided merchant vessels with impunity from heavily modified fast cutter ships. 

 The objectives of these bandits ranged considerably but often taking a wealth of cargo, slaves and prisoners for ransom. Other ships would be scavenged for parts, oxygen and key machinery then left adrift.

Boarding actions were often short brutal affairs as the victim ship decks were swarmed with frenzied raiders and gunfire. Amidst the panic engine rooms and bridges were quickly overrun and captured.
