Ore Sucker
a small pirate ship developed to steal the cargo from the huge Colossus Wasp transport ships. These ships roam the Stenness System, looking for Wasp transports. When they find one, the ore suckers latch onto the Wasp's exterior, and bore into the hull with a drill or laser. Once the hull has been breached, the ore suckers open their own cargo bay hatches and lock them over the breach. The pilots then blow the other cargo bay doors on the ore suckers, creating a vacuum in their own holds. This vacuum sucks the cargo out of the Wasp's holds and into the ore sucker's holds. The pirates who used them had to be quick, so that the stolen cargo didn't simply fly out through their second open portal.
