Cavrilhu Pirates - Which ships do they own

denderan marajain

For an adventure, I'm looking for a list of Cavrilhu Pirate's ships but except for some vague information, I have not really found anything.

How big is this group? `
Do you have Capital Ships?
If yes, which?

I hope there are some professionals here who can help me

Well, just looking at the Wookieepedia Page:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Cavrilhu_Pirates

I'd guess that they have access to Rebel Alliance type tech. Since they're flying X-Wings.

Biggest ships I would give them would be probably a Corvette or two, maybe a Nebulon-B.

I'll have to take a peek at the Thrawn Trilogy Sourcebook and Dark Force Rising Sourcebook to see if they have any rough estimates.

According to the sourcebooks as far I can tell they must have had a fairly large fleet.

at least 3x IPV-1 System Patrol Craft
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/IPV-1_System_Patrol_Craft

were stolen from the pirates, to be sold to Thrawn.
The pirate flagship is not listed anywhere I think, as far as I can tell it is only referred to as a gunship.

I would agree that a few corvette size ships and a frigate or two would be fair.

As to the "Void Cutter" their flagship I am not above seeing the possibility of an imperial cruiser type ship, but a nebulon-b is a good as any, as it is referred to as a gunship

These might be helpful:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Raid_at_Iphigin
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Pesitiin

At Iphigin they had:
- 1 Kaloth Battlecruiser
- 2 Corellian Gunships
- 5 Corsair-class assault starfighters

At Pesitin they had:
- 1 Kaloth Battlecruiser
- 4 Corellian Gunships
- 3 Pacifier-class assault boats

The latter raid was meant to impersonate a Corellian force, so it might be considered somewhat atypical compared to the former.

The Cavrilhu Pirates also manufactured the Preybird (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Preybird-class_starfighter), but as far as I understand, they did it exclusively for the Empire and didn’t use it themselves. Still, they could well have.

I think it really boils down to how much of a threat do you want them to be to the galaxy at large and your players.

Since, aside from the forces that show up at those two particular battles, there is no solid list of what they have. It comes down to GM's desire. If you want to make them a sector wide group, then they should have a decent sized fleet, bigger if they actually control the sector.

Are you planning on using them in large scale fleet battles? Will the PCs be coming across maybe a small contingent of them?

From the stats I saw posted of the leader of the pirates in the Thrawn Trilogy book, I'd say that they'd have access to whatever ships seem appropriate. Rebel, Imperial, Independent. If there's a particular capital ship that you're fond of, give them one. Sometimes cooking up your own fleet of ships can be fun. I ended up doing one for one of my antagonists in a NJO game I've been running for years. The game has been on hold because my star player can't play anymore, but I've got a whole home brew sector with planets and a small fleet of capital ships all picked out for when we're able to pick the game back up again.

The short answer gar, is that the other players quit playing because they couldn't handle the simple arithmetic necessary for calculating MAPs. They preferred D20, which I refused to run. So, she is my only player left, and our child doesn't leave any time for gaming. So my game is on hold indefinitely.

Well.. i've known many who can't do simple subtraction, that's why they prefer the BAB + modifiers way of the d20 systems, rather than say adnd 1st or 2nd edition..

Many thanks for the help. I can definitely do something with that

@Raven

Yes, I plan to deploy them with a fleet that raids the Alliance (New Republic 8 months after Endor) transports and my players command Capital Ships ... Smile
