[[File:Starpirates_pict.png|thumb|279px|Three variations of the Pirates.]]
The '''Space Pirates''' are a race of futuristic and seemingly mechanical beings introduced in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. Based on translations, they are said to be thieves that steal constellations and stars from the night sky using a massive [[Star Ship]] that can sail through celestial oceans. Acting as enemies to both [[Pit]] and the [[Underworld]] army, their ship will seemingly serve as a stage featuring three-way battles between the forces. The pirates are all lead by a [[Star Captain|captain]], and are said to have the [[Three Sacred Treasures]] in their possession. Three colored variations of the pirates have also been revealed, each with different weapons to use in battle.
