Union Runner

Union Runner

Union slang describing someone on the run from Union law enforcement.

Normally this is a person accused of an Union felony that flees to non-Union ground. Extremely rarely, it is someone who escaped a Union prison or penal colony. (Last publicly successful escape was by Harlex Gedde in 4929 OTT).

By law, a “runner” that refuses to turn themself in may be killed, sold or shot on sight anywhere in the Union. As a reward is placed on their head, bounty hunters actively seek runners.
