They're pretty good at stealing and reverse engineering tech. Steal and clone metroids, experiment with dangerous mutagens, blow up planets, that kind of thing. In the manga they had a black hole generator.
They change a bit from every game. Tech they've used include armor, energy blades and shields, cloaking devices, jetpacks/jump jets, EMP grenades, and personal teleporters. Grunts might have a few of those, more elite units like commandos will have all of them.
Pretty tough, but probably not close to the top ten.

They wiped out the Chozo, the species that trained Samus. Iirc they're responsible for the destruction of several planets. They do have some individual badasses too, like Weavel, who's a cyborg fused with a lesser Power Suit.

Mainly the former, but the latter's good too.
Do saiyans count as pirates? If so, frieza's army.
Frieza's army was an actual civilization, so most wouldn't... oh, but there were some individual Saiyan and other DB pirates. Bojack, most obviously. Turles from Tree of Might as well.
