English term or phrase: dashing
We are dashing space rogues.

Is there any other sense for this word (other than stylish), because they are essentially in a mission to combat with rogues! So I'm a bit confused.

Explanation:
In this case, that meaning does apply: the Captain asks why they are dressed like that because they "look like bums" (scruffy, tramps, etc.), and they answer "we are dashing space dudes" — explaining what they think of their 'costumes', even though the Captain may not share that view!
