History & Background (Dossier)

Services with surplus vessels often find it useful to place ships in the hands of experienced crew to operate independently. This defrays some operating costs and provides flexibility and in some cases plausible deniability. Some of these vessels stimulate economic activity, some are subject to military recall in the event of an emergency. Some can be used to privateer or conduct commerce raiding against hostile neighboring states.
