Space pirate

Space pirate

Space pirates are science fiction or fantasy character archetypes who operate as pirates in outer space as opposed to on the sea: capturing and plundering ships for cargo, money, and the ships themselves.

Works of fiction vary widely in how they characterize and explore the archetype, just as with classical and modern depictions of pirates. Pirates may be depicted as protagonists, antagonists, neutral parties, redshirts, anti-heroes and so forth.
