Pakled Crew

A collective crew of Pakleds who approach other vessels under the guise of helplessness to solicit technical assistance, then employ staged system failures and coordinated violence to seize equipment and gain control. They exploit trust, cut communications, deploy shields, and physically disable key personnel to execute ambushes. Their internal hierarchy is implied but not elaborated; within the current material they act as antagonists and recipients of aid until their predatory intentions become evident.
