                Seen 
                here are two of the space pirates larger vessels, the speedy 
                Bloodspiller and the flagship Bootyshaker.

                With his cybernetic 
                space goggles, Lookout Jim can peer one light-year into the distance.

                It takes decades 
                of training to be able to pilot a ship like this. Or in Buck Fisk's 
                case, just a week and an oversized brain.

                A complex radar 
                system allows the pirates to listen in on the conversations of 
                passing ships... and get free HBO.

                Some think 
                that flying giant pirate flags hurts their chances of a successful 
                sneak attack. These people have no idea what it means to be a 
                pirate.
