Kimeran Pirates

Cloaked in starlight's absence, We follow paths unseen, Never to be watched or heard, Our senses are too keen. ―Motto of the Kimeran Pirates.src The Kimeran Pirates were a pirate militia that had been known to raid Terran installations for important Terran secrets, for sale to the highest bidder. They were introduced in Deception.

The Kimerans had access to very advanced technology, including enhancements to their battlecruiser, the Kimera. It had onboard teleporters and was almost impossible to track. Velichek, an inventor, had also significantly upgraded the traditional ghost technology.

Deception

 * Main article: Deception

One of their most recent missions involved a raid on a Confederacy remnant science facility. Buzan said the information collected on this raid would gather his agents valuable shore leave. During the mission, they encountered Morik, an Infested Terran, as well as Infested Stukov, who should have been dead at that point. The facility was mysteriously destroyed (from the inside), and as the Kimeran Pirates fled with the information, they were followed by cloaked Wraiths.

The Pirates probably sold the information for a tidy profit.

Mercenaries II

Stukov tracked the Kimerans to a dark world, where they had taken shelter along with some of Stukov's other enemies.

Stukov hired mercenaries to attack them. Despite using the power of the Kimeran Juggernaut in defense and banding with other enemies of Stukov, the Kimeran Pirates were destroyed by Stukov's mercenaries.

Membership
The Kimeran Pirates were led by Captain Buzan, who commanded The Kimera.

The membership included Velichek (a brilliant inventor), several Space Pirates (Ghosts) such as Manic and Twitch, along with Medics and even one or more Dark Templar, known as Shadow Pirates. In addition, they had a large pool of mercenaries to draw upon.
