Merson pirates/Legends

Merson pirates were a group of criminals who patrolled the Merson asteroid field for victims. Since the asteroid field makes hyperspace travel impossible, any craft that travels the area must drift through the field hoping to avoid detection. The pirates would wait for passing civilian cruisers, attacking them with little chance of resistance since luxury craft were usually minimally armed.
