Dozen Rules

The "Dozen Rules" were a code of conduct created by Urias Xhaxin and followed by the crew of the privateering ship Free Lance, and was seen as typical of a privateer's code of conduct. The Rules included:

• Keep mobile, be flexible
• Never pick a fight on someone your own size, and don't fight fair
• Never hunt in your own backyard
• Gamble
• Make a name for yourself
• Stick to the shadows
• Stick to the job
• Plan obsessively, but allow for the unexpected
• There are no sure things
• The prize's crew is not the enemy
• Maintain initiative
• Keep your crew well
