Bandit
A bandit. How troublesome!

Bandits are common enemies within the Starbound universe. Each bandit has a small chance to drop a Bandit's Hood if the bandit is male or a Bandit's Bandana if the bandit is female. Bandits will wear the chest and leg pieces to the Explorer's Set, which is rarely sold by merchants across the universe. Their weaponary ranges between low level guns and melee weapons.

Bandits can be found conversing with each other at a Cafeteria Table, a Campfire, or a Metal Crate until either a player or a merchant stumbles upon them.

They can also be found in many Bandit Ships. In the lore, bandits are strongly implied to be former USCM members, and the rusted-out ships they can be found on are likely to be former USCM Merchant-class ships.

Beta Differences

Bandits used to be any race, not solely human. They could be attacked by monsters before they were updated.
