This mod adds new Hostile NPC Drones and Ships that will pursue nearby targets.

The sheer weight and inertia of their ships may buckle warship hulls.

At one point, three Reavers were about to attack a man, but when Mal shot him, they gave up their effort. They gave into their primal nature and all that was civilized was discarded. The aim of both weapons is probably to ensure that the victim is alive when taken. Whether or not the markings have any significance or meaning to the Reavers is unknown. The Reavers hang over  Firefly  and  Serenity, like a shadow creeping along a wall. They stared into the void beyond and became what they saw: nothing. When raiding settlements on the ground, Reavers often target vulnerable, largely undeveloped, or developing communities without any warning, perhaps inserting raiders directly from a vessel or landing a small distance from town.

After they finally escape into death, the Reavers will sew their skins into their clothing, and may very well either hang up the corpses as a gruesome trophy or strap them to their starcraft. Reaver ships are usually older or obsolete models, modified with a wide array of weapons or offensive devices such as a magnetic grappler, an EMP cannon, or spear gun.

Although they clearly must have some retention of any original knowledge prior to their madness (as evidenced by their command of starships and weapons) Reavers are as without fear as they are without mercy, and they have never been seen to speak or indeed communicate (although that may be because any time they are observed they are on the hunt). On a planetary raid, Reavers target settlements without strong defenses. If nothing else is available, they may be found clawing and biting their prey with bare hands and teeth. They have no known physical mutations-the primary difference between normal humans of the 'verse and Reavers is their utter and complete madness. Firefly – Der Aufbruch der Serenity, Originaltitel Firefly, ist eine US-Fernsehserie von Joss Whedon, die 2002 und 2003 auf dem US-Fernsehsender Fox ausgestrahlt wurde. This was witnessed on one occasion by the crew of the Reavers are, at least genetically, human in more or less every way. To the people of the Core Worlds, Reaversare a campfire tale and bedtime story; to the people of the Border Worlds and Colonies, Reavers are very real. This was likely caused by the depletion of food sources as settlers learned to steer clear. They are festooned with bits of random debris and ghoulish junk, a characteristic paint scheme of red slashes, and the skeletons of their prey. When Reavers finish a raid on a known lane of traffic, they string up the bodies in a place where they can be found by rescue parties and leave a trap attached to the hull of the bait vessel to cripple rescue ships. When this happens, the person's mind can be so damaged by what they were shown that the only way to cope with it is to begin to act as a Reaver does, eventually becoming one themselves.

Reavers in space battles display the same degree of suicidal insanity that they do on land. Sie handelt von den Erlebnissen der Besatzung des kleinen, unabhängigen Transport-Raumschiffs Serenity, die in den abgelegenen Siedlungsgebieten der Menschheit im All versucht, durch kleine Transportaufträge und Gaunereien zu überleben… In space raids, Reavers target poorly defended ships and cargo transport vessels. Reavers are believed by most of the 'verse to be men that went insane at the edge of space and became savage. They gave into their primal nature and all that was civilized was discarded. They stared into the void beyond and became what they saw: nothing. Reavers are believed by most of the 'verse to be men that went insane at the edge of space and became savage.

Instead, they rush forward, occasionally firing at victims if stymied, and overwhelm their enemies in a deadly charge with crude blades and melee weapons. Reaver territory is centered about the rim of known space, and at least one massive gathering was present around the planet It has been observed/implied on at least two occasions that Reavers do not bother with already-dead prey, preferring, if not insisting, that their victims be alive.

Using functionality provided by the NPC Programming Extender mod, these enemies will no longer be able to arbitrarily see nearby players and chase them down. Once on board Reavers quickly subdue the passengers and commence with their depraved pleasures. They are described as “campfire stories” come to life, a savage and mysterious entity, made up of nothing but violence, brutality and an overriding need to destroy.

Barbaric piercings and random bits of metal shoved into their flesh are also common, giving them a ghastly and corpse-like air. The Firefly and Serenity Database is a FANDOM TV Community.Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. Reaver ships seem to broadcast a nightmarish chorus of screaming across channels, although whether this is a recording used to induce fear, the howling of their inhabitants, or the sounds of their victims is uncertain.

As of the recent large update, the behavior of these ships has changed quite a bit. Reavers are impossible to mistake for anything else.
