The ablitity for an empire to secretly fund pirate ships. Ships that carry no flag and can freely attack and or pillage those juicy lightly defended ships in your neighbors system, even if you have a treaty. These of course should cost more than a regular ship (to pay for the high price of mercanaries) and carry no distinct empire design (neutral ship designs). To make them even more interesting, if they are captured there would be a small chance that the crew would talk and say what empire they are working for which leads to interesting repercussions for roleplay.


If the leader abilties like MOOII is entered into the equation, there could be some random pirates available for hire along side of clean cut moral boosting captains.
