Tahora Whai Piracy and Raiding: Difference between revisions

Three centuries of struggle to reclaim life on Dynae brough the Whai riders against many of the sector’s powers. During the dynamic [[Timeline#Year_228_-_The_Beacon_Wars|Beacon Wars]], the Whai served as privateers and opportunists reaping plunder and supplies for their home system. Asteroid belts and deep space stations, far from the influence of local powers, became de facto Whai pirate bases. This era would provide a proving ground for tactics and equipment for Whai pirates.

Whai ships often disguise themselves as humble traders or whalers to catch their victims unaware and with their guard down. But the ruse was much more effective if they were in fact utilizing their ships as a whaler when no dupes could be found. Dual- or multi-use ships became commonplace for the Whai.
