The pirate capital ship is a type of warship.

History[]

A pirate capital ship was used by the Kel-Morian Combine to lead their mining operations in an asteroid field. During a conflict between Raynor's Raiders and Mira's Mercs, the Raiders detected the Kel-Morians and attacked them, engaging the pirate capital ship and destroying it.[1]

The pirate capital ship appears in the Heart of the Swarm mission "With Friends Like These..." where engaging it is an optional objective. The pirate capital ship can cloak, deploy squadrons of griffon fighters to aid it in battle, and release an electric field that disables the Hyperion and any nearby tac fighters for several seconds.
