We extend the analysis of hep-th/0408069 on a Lorentz invariantinterpretation of noncommutative spacetime to field theories onnon-anticommutative superspace with half the supersymmetries broken. Bydefining a Drinfeld-twisted Hopf superalgebra, it is shown that one can restoretwisted supersymmetry and therefore obtain a twisted version of the chiralrings along with certain Ward-Takahashi identities. Moreover, we argue that therepresentation content of theories on the deformed superspace is identical tothat of their undeformed cousins and comment on the consequences of ouranalysis concerning non-renormalization theorems.Comment: 1+17 pages; typos fixed, minor correction
