# Pirate

What is the pirate role?

Embrace the allure of the rogue life, preying on unexpecting travellers and couriers to loot valuable cargo across the stars. Engage in high-risk raids that promise substantial rewards, including the enticing chance to seize parts off other players ships! However, embrace caution, as defeat could lead to the loss of your loot, damage to your ship, and hefty repair costs in [$OMEN](/omen-odyssey/usdomen.md). This path is for those who relish in the thrill of the chase and the spoils of victory, where high risk and high reward are inextricably linked.

Ensure your ship's [Base Stats](/omen-odyssey/stats-and-equipment/base-stats.md) and [Equipment](/omen-odyssey/stats-and-equipment/equipment.md) are focused on Thrust and Attack during a high speed chase, as you don't want to be outclassed by your enemies! Mass is also distinctly important if you want to stay nimble in battle!

You can view the history tab on the Raid view to look at past battles.  In some cases, equipment or cargo can be stolen by the winner of a battle.
