Category:Pirates

The term pirate refers to the variety of rogues that are scattered across the galaxy who will attack, rob or commandeer ships in their territory.

Whilst their actions are inherently illegal, the morals of various pirates vary considerably. Some are cutthroat brigands who are petty murderers or thieves, but others have a set of morals that prohibit killing the innocent, and generally restrict their actions to the rich. Other pirates, referred to as "privateers", operate under the sanction of governments or organizations. Privateers tend to hold themselves to a more "civilized" standard than other pirates, and restrict their activities to specific targets. Indeed, on a few occasions, pirates have pulled through to help the galaxy as a whole.
