Pirates and Piracy

---

Piracy is typically an act of robbery or criminal violence in space The term can include acts committed on planet side, in or against space stations and in space. It does not normally include crimes committed against persons traveling on the same vessel as the perpetrator (e.g. one passenger stealing from others on the same vessel). The term has been used throughout history to refer to raids across land borders by non-state agents. Piracy is the name of a specific crime under Union Laws. Union Laws makes no distinction from privateering, which is authorized by national authorities and therefore a legitimate form of war-like activity by non-state actors. Those who engage in acts of piracy are called pirates. Pirates engaging in these criminal activities inside Union Space are hunted by Union Law Enforcement agencies and the Fleet and outside Union Space exclusively by the Fleet (where permitted). It is estimated that over 5000 individual Pirate ships operate in Free and Open Space, there are very few Pirate Incidents inside Union Borders and usually dealt with very fast and very harshly. The Dai Than Pirates considered Pirates rather than National Enemies due to their Attack Pattern (they do not attack to conquer or overthrow) Convicted Pirates face the death penalty under Union Law.
