Scrapcraft

A scrapcraft, also known as "scrappies", was a category of customized starships that were created from parts of other ship designs; as such, each and every scrapcraft was aesthetically unique to one another to some extent. Scrapcrafts were distinct from "uglies" in that while uglies were crafted from starfighter or shuttle parts, scrappies were often created from elements of freighters, corvettes, and more rarely, cruisers. Like uglies, scrapcrafts were almost exclusively used by scavengers, pirates, and mercenaries that operated on an interstellar scale and were most prominent in the later Imperial Period. A pirate 'brotherhood' known as the Blaster Brethren led by the Mandalorian warrior Naastau maintained a war fleet that featured several armed scrapcrafts.
