==Trivia==
* Hidden within the game's coding is unused logbook data for several Pirate Militia variants that are abesent from the final version of the game: the Advanced and Assault Pirate Militias<ref>Morphology: Advanced Pirate Militia. Expendable infantry units. Armor vulnerable to explosives. The additional armor of the Advanced Pirate Militia increases their resistance to Beam weaponry, but they remain vulnerable to explosive attacks. The Advanced Pirate Militia contains promoted soldiers from the Armored Pirate Militia. Once the pirate military is satisfied with a unit's performance, they will grant them a higher rank. With the promotion comes additional support in the form of an extra layer of ablative armor for combat.</ref><ref>Morphology: Assault Pirate Militia. Expendable infantry units. Armor vulnerable to explosive blasts. The heavy armorsuits of the Assault Pirate Militia provide adequate resistance to most weapon systems. This unit is the most skilled of all the militia forces. If able to prove themselves in combat, the pirate military will grant them admittance into the official army ranks.</ref>, both of which also have unused shield variants<ref>Morphology: Advanced Shield Militia. Battle shield deflects attacks, but can be pulled with Grapple Beam.The pirates in this militia unit wear an additional layer of ablative armor. Despite the added protection, the armorsuit is still vulnerable to explosive blasts. Their portable battle shield, while resistant to most small-arms fire, is also easily pulled off. Phazon-based attacks can also destroy the shield.</ref><ref>Morphology: Assault Shield Militia. Battle shield deflects attacks, but can be pulled with Grapple Beam. Members of this militia are well equipped. Their heavy armorsuit is resistant to most weapon systems, and their portable battle shield can withstand most small-arms fire. Their shields provide excellent protection, but are easily ripped from their arms. Phazon-based attacks can easily destroy the shield.</ref>.
