	As befitting their roles as raiders, all of the Hampshiran-built hulls included ample fuel and cargo space as well as habitation accomodations for marines with associated boarding shells and paraphernalia. Secure brig space for captured crews was also included as a matter of course, though it was expected that those captured on prize ships would be dropped off at neutral stations or ships as soon as feasible. Some of the privateers (including the ''Zeno II'') were built with mobile suit bays, giving them even greater versatility. For the duration of the war the ''Zeno II'' operated a quartet of old Space Ugrade Peltasts.

			===Character Generation===
			As seen on [[Sphere RPG System Mechanics]]; there are 7 attributes:
			:Physique
			:Perception
			:Intellect
			:Wits
			:Charisma
			:Psyche
			:Edge

			To avoid mucking about with costs, all characters have one attribute at 4, three at 3 and three at 2. If these are proving to be to low on a regular basis, they will be increased.

			Characters have 7 points to buy '''Abilities'''; any Ability point over 3 costs double (thus getting 4 costs 5, 5 costs 7)

			Take a few points of '''Skills''' to round out your character.

			====Genetic Templates====
			Again, to avoid dealing with costs at this juncture, everyone should chose something from [[Genetic Templates]] - they can be tweaked as necessary/appropriate.

			====Cool Gear====
			You have access to any mass-produced personal items you could want, so don't worry about specifying. In terms of big expensive Cool Shit, the better the template you take, the less of this you'll get. Classics get giant robots, Ishtars and Atlases get power armor. Exhumans get . . . themselves.


			===Gameplay===
			Minisphere Pirates is basically a concept test and validation; if you want to do something ask 'how do I do X' and if we don't have rules they will be made up and written down.

	===The ''Zeno II''===		===The ''Zeno II''===
	The first privateer to bear the name ''Zeno'' was a converted freighter, built around Earth in the '50s and stranded in Hampshire orbit by the Breakdown. At the outbreak of the Shore War the ''Mustang Pioneer'' was sold by the local factor of its owners and renamed the ''Zeno'', then refitted with a number of gun and missile systems for the war. Featuring progressively greater armament over the several years she was in service the ''Zeno'' was, nonetheless, a somewhat slapdash refit like all the other privateer ships of the period. Much of the missile (but not the gun) armament was disembarked at the end of the war and she continued on in an only slightly less eventual career in the less well travelled Zodiac periphery. Called back to official service for the war in the Pacific Arm, she was eventually crippled and cornered in APEX-17 where her crew was forced to abandon ship, her hulk scuttled by a nuclear demolition charge. Making their way back to Zodiac space on a captured tramp, the surviving crew received a new ship, which they promptly named the ''Zeno II''.

Making their way back to Zodiac space on a captured tramp, the surviving crew received a new ship, which they promptly named the ''Zeno II''.

	Unlike the original, the ''Zeno II' was conceived from the outset as a raider. One of approximately a dozen broadly similar hulls built by Hampshire during the war she truly a warship, not a converted merchantman. Each one was unique, though all shared elements such as low-observability features and an emphasis on speed as opposed to staying power. The ''Zeno II'' was paid for in part by the pooled prize money of the crew and in part by the Hampshiran government.		Unlike the original, the ''Zeno II'' was conceived from the outset as a raider.

	The ''Zeno II'' underwent several upgrades to armament during the war, with at least one of these involving fitting weapons taken from a defeated UNASUR Q-ship. By the armistice she featured not only two heavy beam turrets and several railgun systems but a concealed antiship missile launch system and a Velan xenodrone plasma cannon as well. While she had the firepower of a light cruiser the ''Zeno II'' had a limited infowarfare suite, particularly with the adoption of 4th gen systems in the final year of the war. While capable enough and with excellent long-range passive detection gear (to find targets or find enemies to avoid), overall the avionics fitted to the Zodiac privateers was intended primarily for use against civilian and auxilary shipping, not front-line warships.
