Talk:Pirate/Legends

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)
