Vinciennes Tribe

This is one of the Indirigan promotional run tribes.

The most important thing to know about this tribe is that they count as pirates. Pirate Captains, Pirate Hordes, all the cool pirate-only cards, work for these bad boys. Combined with their technology adaptation ability, they are able to use most of the Bolaar tips and tricks.

The ability to use foreign technology makes this tribe a possible adjunct to a "borrowing" deck. Also note that as part of their attempts to pirate the technology of other races, they have disguised their battleship, the S10 Pirate Battleship by not associating their empire's name with the card. I'd say this is errata'd.
