''[[http://starpirates.net Star Pirates]]'' is a MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame created by ''[[http://www.snakeheadgames.com/ Snakehead Games]]''.
The game is set in space in a not so distant future where Earth had been destroyed in what is known as "The Starcrash" and Humankind has taken to live among the planets and asteroids of the Solar System.
Post-Starcrash, players find themselves labelled as "pirates", forced to eke out a living as best they can in a CrapsackWorld. Players travel between planets (Mars through the binary Pluto & Charon), and have the option of delving into the asteroid belts and the oort cloud beyond the solar system to earn extra money. Pirates are often encouraged to attack and raid other pirates to gain levels and earn more cargo. Debris searching nets players items, which can be used to boost stats (Weapons, Engines, and Shields) so that they can take down other players.
