After mastering the technology of time and space travel, the previously insurmountable chasm of the Milky Way has now become a thoroughfare.
Especially in those areas where stars flourish, commercial ships come and go incessantly, forming trade routes.
Under these circumstances, the Starry Pirates emerged.
Although the Federal Credential Bureau has made several attempts to crack down on them, since these pirates are mostly desperados from various places who have figured out the bureau's strategies, the sieges have been of little effect.
Helplessly, the Federal Credential Bureau has no choice but to turn a blind eye, while the passing commercial ships have to pay for safety.
And the pirates, to ensure long-term profits, do not trouble these ships too much, only charging a fixed tribute in exchange for safe passage.
Over time, a bizarre balance has formed among the pirates, the Federal Credential Bureau, and the passing trade associations.
