Rabid-Class Corvette: Rabids are the smallest of the ships in the Wolf Pack, but they're also among the most agile. They're equipped with powerful black market engines and power generators, just like most every ship in the Cutthroat's armada, but in order to maximize speed, armoring was sacrificed, making it much lighter. To circumvent this, its also outfitted with a large amount of shield projectors, which each of the spike-looking objects on them are. However, while they're strong, if those shields are taken down it doesn't take much to pound the ship to destruction, which is why all the pilots of a Rabid make SURE to attempt to dodge every shot. As for armaments, they're equipped with plasma cannons along the hull, and a powerful beam laser weapon on one of the two structures below the main ship. The beam weapon isn't effective against shields, but its strong enough to be used to cut through hulls in order to facilitate boarding procedures.

Due to the nature of their use, they're much more heavily armored than most other vessels this pirate gang uses, but as a result they're far less speedily. Like the Rabids, they possess the spike-like shield projectors all around the ship, though these ones are stronger than those on the Rabids. As far as weaponry goes, they're armed with only two missile launchers, one on each side, usually with enough missiles to launch a good few salvos. The exact kind of missile, however, can vary as the launchers can be loaded with many different kinds.

They're very fast, however, beaten only by the Rabid-Class Corvettes as far as this faction's own ships, considering they sport the same little-armor-ridiculously-high-power-engine mentality most of the Wolf-Pack's ships have, though it has none of the shield-projector spines. Instead, it has extremely high power and velocity flak cannons, made for shredding through shields and armor alike, using solid-shell projectiles against armor and high-power lasers against shields, and plasma bursts against both. The gunners are specially trained to be able to hit targets while flying at such a high speed, so that the pilot doesn't have to worry about stopping while the gunners line up their targets. It also has eight docking ports, four on each side, which drill into their target in order to allow boarding parties to be sent, used once the opposing ship has been disabled in order to easily take it.
http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080218015357/sinsofasolarempire/images/f/f0/Reaper.jpgBattering-Class Frigate: A large frigate designed to be used, quite literally, as a battering ram. It has heavy armoring and shielding, and so while it has the same thrusters and power generators as the Cannonades, its not as fast...Without help, that is. A usual tactic used by them is that four Cannonades are latched it its sides to be used as a single unit to propel it forward at high speed, effectively giving it around five times as much thrust as it has normally(since the Cannonades are much lighter than it, they dont factor in as much concerning weight). Once this five-ship-battering-ram gets near the intended target, the Cannonades detach from the Battering and flying off, sending it flying at the enemy's shields or armor. The ship has shock absorbers built into the framework to lessen the damage done to both the ship and the crew, and its shields are built obviously for offense-They carry a electric charge, meant to zap opposing ships if hit directly by the shield in addition to the normal damage causing by ramming a frigate into another ship(basically if they hit a unshielded enemy ship, though it'd still do damage to enemy shields). The amount of electricity is great enough that it can knock out electric devices entirely in smaller ships(such as other frigates), though only able to do so in smaller areas of larger ships(such as capital ships). Still, the knockout is effective when it hits crucial parts of the enemy ship. After ramming, usually they back away from the enemy ship, sometimes in order to strike with its conventional weapons, sometimes to dash back to the rest of the Pirates in order to find a few other Cannonades to latch onto it for another run. At the front, it does have a rotatable cannon that fires solid projectiles for a pretty respectable distance, as well as four smaller, straightforward cannons on its sides that fire plasma projectiles at closer distances.
http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080218014320/sinsofasolarempire/images/2/22/Cutthroat.jpgWolf-Class Frigate: The Wolf-Class frigates are based off the designs of the Mechera Brigade-Class Frigate the Pirates captured in the same battle which Jarrek lost his arm. While much of the inner workings were badly damaged in the fighting on board, and unrecoverable as a result(such as the Mechera Mirror Shields and Isolation Engines), the ship itself was mostly undamaged by ship-to-ship combat, allowing the Pirates to more or less replicate it and add on their own additions. Obviously, much of the inner workings had to be redone, such as adding a physical pilot seat and such, considering the Mechera piloted their ships from cyberspace, but overall its very similar. It sports a large amount of the shield projectors all across it, and it has the same rotatable heavy cannon the Batterings have for longer-range battles, as well as the plasma cannons. One of the Pirates biggest changes was that they added belly-mounted boarding drills, similar to what the Cannonades have, just on its underside, and the underside can magnetize to other ships, thereby allowing it to 'land' on ships intended to be raided while protecting the actual drill/boarding things from damage with itself and its shields.
http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080218014912/sinsofasolarempire/images/e/ea/Corsair.jpgCommunication-Jammer:Those torch-looking structures on the Pirate Ships aren't just for decoration, as well. Each of those is a jamming device, made specifically to disrupt long-range communications. The green 'flames' are actually a form of radiation emitted in frequent pulses that disrupts comm systems; while short range communications aren't affected as much, longer range communications that might be used to call for help are jammed, keeping the enemy from calling in reinforcements or reporting the location of the Pirate's base. They're set up on a few of the asteroids in the field, as well, just in case the ships cant be fielded at the time.
