>a space pirate, living in the age of blast-expansion
>the space some twenty-and-so light-years around your homeworld is more or less developed, with the most populous non-homeworld having a population of 1.3B
>you and your fellow free spacers mostly steer clear of that space unless really necessary, as it is heavily patroled by the confederate military
>now, when people hear "pirate", they might be imagining some space brigands that raid ships and colonies
>that's an obvious lie, although some pirates do attack ships and settlements
>and then, they do it to obtain a husband, rather than steal resources or destroy civilization
>after all, there's about 2000 women per one man, sometimes girls go desperate
>most of you are simply renegades, that decided to live away from the core society
>in fact, there isn't that much difference between you and the colonists living on the outskirts of civilization
>the primary one being that you make your homes in space while the colonists choose to ground themselves to planetbound life
>while every single pirate ship is sufficently armed, you usually do not raid others, instead making your living by illegal mining, scavenging, salvaging, and artifact hunting
>obviously, the confederate government doesn't like you, since you don't answer to them
>not like they can do anything about it, the outskirts are simply too large and vast for them to efficiently enforce their rule
>not to mention that the total pirate military might rivals theirs
>you enjoy the company of thirty-five girls, divided across six ships in your fleet
>oh, and that's another part of being the only guy in your almost-entirely-female pirate band
