the pirate stereotype theme
A stereotypical pirate is featured. This typically involves the flying of skull and crossbones flags, the wearing of eye patches, plundering, and lots of "hardy har har" talk.
Examples
Orion space pirates hijacked a Federation cargo freighter in tas2x01 "The Pirates of Orion". Contrary to popular belief they did not appear to wield space cutlasses.
