Scavengers are those who use armed spaceships to search the worlds of the galaxy for technology, raw materials, weapons or anything else of value. They generally avoid space combat, often using low-tech or inferior ships. They will fight-planet-side if they have a sure advantage in numbers and equipment. The Quidarians are a species notorious for engaging in wide-spread scavenging, but many groups can be from other alien species, humans from isolated lost colonies or even mixed-species gangs.
