I've got an encounter planned with some pirates. The nature of the pirates, campaign, and location makes serious use of fighters by the pirates inappropriate, so I'm looking for alternatives, preferably Gunships kinda like the SS-54 (aka The Halo). Problem is i can't think of much else in the gunship catagory.
Blastboats are an option, but I've already got plans for blastboats so I'd like to come up with other craft to avoid confusion, don't want the players thinking the pirates are in cahoots with people they are not.
So any ideas? I don't mind if I have to do the stats myself, just would like a good existing star Wars solution if possible.
