If your letters of Marque limit such operations by privateers, they are beyond useless as that IS one of the privateers missions (collecting ships that the Alliance asks for). |
Within the limits noted in the Letters of Marque issued by the Rebel Alliance for examples see Pirates and Privateers pg. 9, The FarOrbit Project pgs 6 and 48-51. The Rebellion doesn't want its operatives running around willy nilly seizing ships at random it kind of cuts down on the popular support they want and need. |
Indeed, and it also gains attention for any rebel activities in the area, as while looking in the deep dark corners of the world for ship thieves, who knows what a customs official will turn up? or what pirate group/ crime lord they will anger, greatly hindering any progress they seek to make

You obviously haven't read the article (or the story itself especially the part where it says they had already checked the ship out on the computer, yes they say it, yes it is in there.)...
Since you can't bother to read that article and bother to understand the concept of alliance ship jacking, I'm done with you on it, not to mention it's gotten off his topic now. |
Well exscuse me for not rembering in precise detail from an article from a single issue of a magazine out of print for over 10 years
Lemme see if I can rap my oblivious mind around it...
ALLIANCE SHIPJACKING=The theft of starships by the rebel alliance, usually for the use by said alliance as opposed to the more common practice of black market resales by criminal shipjacking intrests.
Now about the whole "The rebel high command needs X go procure some and we'll take it off your hands no questions asked" thing, This is Star Wars black and white good vs evil space opera. That sort of thing doesn't really fit the whole high minded ideals of the rebels thats all I'm saying, now if this was say the Traveller rpg I wouldn't have a problem at all with the whole moral ambiguity of it. |
