In some star systems, the dominant local authority has been overthrown by rebel outlaw forces. Such outlaw systems see unusually high levels of conflict, due to the lack of punishment for preying on trader starships. This presents a risk to those wishing to trade, but a substantial opportunity to those who wish to engage in piracy themselves. Profitable acts of piracy include the smuggling of contraband, raiding freighters and traders, or performing missions for a Bounty Master aboard a rebel station.
