I was thinking of redirecting 'privateer' here, but I was wondering if the Star Wars universe makes a distinction between pirates and privateers, or uses the term interchangably. In our world, privateers are privately owned ships employed by a nation in wartime to prey on enemy ships, whereas pirates aren't government sanctioned and can attack in peacetime. If there is a distinction in Star Wars, I'll add a section to the article explaining it. --Fade 10:05, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The distinction was discussed in the old West End Games RPG, at least (see Pirates & Privateers). -- Silly Dan 11:55, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
In that case, perhaps I'll focus the article on privateers (and move it accordingly) and have pirates as a section. Or two seperare articles. I'm undecided. Bah. --Fade 14:27, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

That picture is from a children's cartoon. Personally, I think we should have a picture of Nym in this article.Darth Ceratis 04:00, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree terrible picture Darth Kaisr 04:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree. However, it is a kinda "all encompassing" picture, and we don't really have an alternative.\/ladius |\/|agnum20px

What about this[[1]]?Darth Ceratis

Piracy Edit

Move to Piracy? Seems to allow for greater content. --SparqMan ^Talk 02:07, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I think we've put all professions (e.g. smuggler, assassin, mercenary) under words for their practitioners, rather than the terms for the practices themselves (not smuggling, assassination, or, umm, mercenary work). If we're going to make this change, it should probably be consistent across the professions, which means it's probably best if brought up in the Senate Hall or on a CT thread. jSarek 03:19, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
