Since spacecraft can be seen for thousands of miles, how would space piracy work? Would it just be intellectual piracy, where information concepts and designs are stolen in some way over the interplanetary communication network? Would "actual" piracy be done only by the most well equipped against the least armed? Would piracy only be done at centers of trade undercover, such as tricking people to put the wrong payloads on the wrong ships and try to have no one notice the mistake until it's too late?

Me Cap'n! we 'ave taken o'er that there Selenian transport, an' spaced 'er original crew. She be a real beauty! fast, sturdy, an' 'as a proper fusion drive. Much better than yer old repurposed Titian atmo-shuttle.

What shall ye name yer new terror o' space, Cap'n? It'll be a name which would be spoken in terrified whispers from the rings o' Saturn to the very 'eart o' Terra itself!
