Interstellar Piracy

Interstellar Piracy can be a real problem within Charted Space, especially within the Vargr Extents.

• Please see Piracy.

Description / Specifications

Hijacking: Starships can be easy prey for hijackers. Starship crews maintain a constant guard against hijackers, and the ship's computer can run an Anti-hijacking Program which denies access to control areas to potential hijackers. Passengers are required to check all weapons (…except blades and daggers) into the Ship's Locker; they are returned at the end of the voyage. Nevertheless, there is a chance of an attempted hijacking, for ransom, or to steal the multi-million credit vessel.
