	Like much in the [[Republic of Elyra\|Serene Republic of Elyra]], how one is punished for piracy or privateering generally depends upon citizenship status. Those rare Elyran citizens accused of piracy are treated as social failures and often forcibly rehabilitated in order to turn them into a productive Elyran citizen, though some recusants and recidivists find themselves involved in less savory work — such as [[Medina#The Phoron Bulletin\|Medinian mercenary service]] — regardless of the government’s attempts to save them from themselves. [[Republic of Elyra#Elyran Citizens & Non-Citizen Persons\|Non-Citizen Persons]], or NCPs, meet much harsher judgments and are generally given one of two punishments: death or hard labor in service of the Republic. Those given the death penalty are often regarded as those beyond redemption such repeat offenders, pirate officers, murderers, and phoron thieves. Those chosen for the convict labor program are often sent to locations most Elyrans are loathe to go such as the shifting tectonics of Medina or the chemical planets of [[Aemaq]]. Labor convicts are often watched over by IPCs owned by or working for the Elyran state. Privateering is illegal in the Republic and capture privateers are given wildly different treatments depending on their nation of origin. Generally, unathi are treated far more harshly than humans. Where humans are repatriated, [[Unathi]] are instead often condemned to execution or convict labor due to the Republic's historically poor relations with the [[Izweski Nation\|Hegemony]]. Rumors that some authorities on Medina seek out and employ privateers such as the Goddess’ Flotilla to secure phoron for the planet have long been denied by its government.

	Though it is considered by many to be a nation of uptight nobility and vainglorious aspirations, the [[Empire of Dominia]] had long had a far more dynamic relationship with pirates and piracy than any other human nation. The Empire has long held a hardline stance against piracy: if any pirates attack a Dominian vessel, they are to all be punished for their sins with execution without exception unless they opt to convert and serve as privateers for the Empire. Many, for obvious reasons, choose this second option.. This harsh punishment has long been contrasted with a generous policy of paying and hiring privateering forces to harass its opposition. As a result the Empire is paradoxically a major cause of piracy which is itself almost entirely free of the issues it funds. This has long infuriated the Coalition and Republic of Elyra, along with the Hegemony and many tajara nations, who view the Empire as waging what is essentially an undeclared war on them. The Empire has denied this — and long denied any official connection to privateering — and claims it is simply an outlandish conspiracy designed to undermine its legitimacy. The major Dominian-backed privateering entity is the Goddess’ Flotilla — an organization so large and well-organized it is considered by some Elyran officers to simply be another branch of the Imperial military. The [[Empire of Dominia Great Houses#House Kazhkz\|unathi houses]] of the Empire fund their own privateers.

	The [[Coalition of Colonies]] has several legal oddities concerning its prosecution of piracy. Through a series of regulations and loopholes all piracy cases in the Coalition are prosecuted on [[Gadpathur]] which, unlike most other member states, allows executions. Most pirates who are prosecuted on Gadpathur have essentially already been found guilty by a court elsewhere in the Coalition and those who arrive on the planet find themselves subject to a quick trial followed by an execution. Gadpathur does not prosecute individuals who have committed piratical acts against [[Solarian Armed Forces#Solarian Navy\|Solarian vessels]] in Coalition space due to the planet’s hardline stance against Sol. Individuals who have committed piracy against Solarian vessels in the Coalition are generally extradited to Sol itself via [[Xanu Prime\|Xanu]] due to most in the Coalition valuing trade over the grudges of the Interstellar War. Privateering is officially illegal under Coalition law, but captured privateers are generally held as prisoners and later exchanged with their nation of origin. Pirates seeking to escape justice and gain asylum find little sympathy in the Coalition, which either executes or repatriates them depending on species and national origin. A distaste for piracy is one of the few things the Coalition and Hegemony agree on, and [[Coalition of Colonies#The Frontier Protection Bureau (FPB)\|Ranger patrols]] often unceremoniously “lose” [[Unathi]] pirate prisoners near [[Izweski Nation\|Hegemony]] patrols.

	Following the Interstellar War piracy wracked both the [[Coalition of Colonies\|Coalition]], particularly in the [[The Orion Spur#Weeping Stars\|Weeping Stars DMZ]], and the Outer Ring of the Alliance. Attempts to reign it in by the Coalition and Alliance were initially unsuccessful, and piracy continued for much of the remainder of the 2200s. Only in the early 2300s, with a reinforced Solarian Navy and Xanu’s fleet having been repaired, was piracy contained. Not ended by any means, but contained to the point where it was no longer considered to be a serious problem. It remained but the Outer Ring of Sol continued to profit and expand, with new colonies such as [[Konyang]] forming, as the Coalition similarly improved its situation. The advent of the Warp Gate Project and the centralization of Solarian travel in [[San Colette]] further damaged pirates, who could now no longer rely on easily interdicting ships with their own, and weaker, warp drives.

	To the south, in the [[The Orion Spur#Sparring Sea\|Sparring Sea]], a different kind of piracy emerged in the wake of [[Republic of Elyra#The Second Great Depression & Elyran Revolution\|Elyran independence]] and the [[Empire of Dominia#The War of Moroz\|War of Moroz]]: privateering. The [[Empire of Dominia]], ~~loath~~ to risk its fleets in open economic warfare with Elyra and concerned piracy would destroy its colonial ambitions, instead opted to pay pirates to attack its rivals. The Dominian relationship with privateering has continued to the present day despite the protests of its neighbors and has, ironically, made the Empire one of the nations least troubled by piracy.

	Piracy would not seriously trouble the [[Sol Alliance\|Alliance]] until the mid-2400s, when the problem began to re-emerge in much of the Outer Ring due to ongoing economic hardships and corruption in the Solarian Navy, which often looked the other way if enough money was paid to them. Despite attempts by reformers throughout the 2400s to address systemic problems in the anti-piracy doctrine of the Alliance the situation eventually became too much to manage and, following the [[Mars#The Violet Dawn Explosion\|Violet Dawn incident]], much of the outer Alliance was written off as too difficult to control due to piracy and Navy corruption. Following the Collapse the situation became even more dire for these “written-off,” regions as they were flooded with bands of well-armed and desperate military deserters.

	Lord Admiral Orona herself is said to strictly uphold these religious codes. A woman shrouded in mystery, little is known about Orona’s background beyond vague strokes. While her year of birth is unknown Orona is known to be the child of Ma’zal workers employed by the Helium-3 industry on [[Empire of Dominia#Alterim Obrirava\|Alterim Obrirava]] and was intensely religious. She joined the [[Dominian Imperial Military#Imperial Feet\|Imperial Fleet]] and rose to an unknown rank before allegedly hearing the [[Moroz Holy Tribunal\|Goddess]], who commanded her to begin a holy crusade against the Empire’s enemies in the Sparring Sea and Badlands. Orona then deserted and has since formed the Flotilla around herself, commanding it from an unknown location said to be on the edge of Dominian space. Her status as a Goddess-touched individual — a woman able to commune with the Goddess and interpret Her words — has not been confirmed by the Holy Tribunal.

Her status as a Goddess-touched individual — a woman able to commune with the Goddess and interpret Her words — has not been confirmed by the Holy Tribunal.

	The Flotilla, despite its crusade-based origin, generally employs violence as a last resort and instead relies upon its fearsome equipment and reputation. Many independent merchant vessels in the Sparring Sea work tithes to the Flotilla into their budget, and some even opt to hire a follower of the Holy Tribunal to negotiate with them. Orion Express has begun to incorporate this into their shipping practices for the region, hiring ~~Tribunialists~~, even some former members of the Flotilla, as negotiators on their behalf. On the other hand, [[Izweski Nation\|Hegemony]] and [[Elyra Military\|Elyran Navy]] vessels serve as the main opposition for the Flotilla in the Sparring Sea and it generally avoids engaging them, instead preferring softer targets such as the lone Elyran or [[Hephaestus Industries\|Hephaestus]] merchant vessels it often captures for ransom. Besides these nation-states and corporations, the Flotilla also interacts with the many [[Unathi]] pirates who roam the Badlands and Sparring Sea. Their relationship with most Unathi pirates tends to be one of mutual distrust but not outright hate, with both sides wanting to mostly leave each other alone. This sense of mutual isolation doesn’t apply with Hiskyn’s Revanchists, led by Fer’is Hiskyn, once Fer’is Kazhkz. Her husband was killed for not wanting to join the Empire by the Unathi who would go onto form House Kazhkz, and after a short battle which she lost, she swore vengeance upon them and the Empire itself. Whenever vessels flying her black and red skull adorned flag spot vessels belonging to the Flotilla, they attack, attempting to board as many vessels as possible regardless of their own losses. Those who surrender and are human are spared, however any Unathi are immediately put to death. While significantly less well equipped then the Flotilla, and too small to cause any significant harm, the Revanchists are a small thorn in the Flotilla’s side, harassing larger Flotilla forces within the Sparring Sea and forcing the diversion of raiding groups to squash these efforts to intrude on the Flotilla’s hunting grounds. Both the Flotilla and Imperial Navy have attempted to deal with the Revanchists for some time but have had little success aside from destroying vessels whenever they appear.

	The Goddess’ Flotilla, like the broader Empire of Dominia, is bound by a [[Dominian Culture#Honor\|code of honor]]. The Flotilla Code, as it is commonly known, can result in severe punishment if broken and is said to come from the mouth of the Lord Admiral herself. Goddess’ Flotilla sailors, in addition to the Code, are expected to follow the Holy Tribunal’s edicts and Imperial law, at least when in Dominian space.

Those who surrender and are human are spared, however any Unathi are immediately put to death. While significantly less well equipped then the Flotilla, and too small to cause any significant harm, the Revanchists are a small thorn in the Flotilla’s side, harassing larger Flotilla forces within the Sparring Sea and forcing the diversion of raiding groups to squash these efforts to intrude on the Flotilla’s hunting grounds. Both the Flotilla and Imperial Navy have attempted to deal with the Revanchists for some time but have had little success aside from destroying vessels whenever they appear.		The Flotilla, despite its crusade-based origin, generally employs violence as a last resort and instead relies upon its fearsome equipment and reputation. Many independent merchant vessels in the Sparring Sea work tithes to the Flotilla into their budget, and some even opt to hire a follower of the Holy Tribunal to negotiate with them. Orion Express has begun to incorporate this into their shipping practices for the region, hiring Tribunialists, even some former members of the Flotilla, as negotiators on their behalf. On the other hand, [[Izweski Nation\|Hegemony]] and [[Elyra Military\|Elyran Navy]] vessels serve as the main opposition for the Flotilla in the Sparring Sea and it generally avoids engaging them, instead preferring softer targets such as the lone Elyran or [[Hephaestus Industries\|Hephaestus]] merchant vessels it often captures for ransom. Besides these nation-states and corporations, the Flotilla also interacts with the many [[Unathi]] pirates who roam the Badlands and Sparring Sea. Their relationship with most Unathi pirates tends to be one of mutual distrust but not outright hate, with both sides wanting to mostly leave each other alone. This sense of mutual isolation doesn’t apply with Hiskyn’s Revanchists, led by Fer’is Hiskyn, once Fer’is Kazhkz.

	Those exiles who do join the Fleet do so via a ritual where they declare themselves to be loyal to it and it above until death, and to never abandon their fellow Sadar no matter what happens. This has made the Fleet an extremely tightly-knit and secretive group as few former members exist, with most serving until their deaths. The Fleet is isolationist and rarely interacts with the broader Coalition — or Spur — aside from raids it launches on isolated spaceborne outposts and unprotected vessels in order to acquire the supplies they need to survive and continue their policy of isolation.

The Fleet is isolationist and rarely interacts with the broader Coalition — or Spur — aside from raids it launches on isolated spaceborne outposts and unprotected vessels in order to acquire the supplies they need to survive and continue their policy of isolation.

	These raids have never been documented on a planet with gravity as the Fleet mostly lacks the more modern [[[Offworlder Humans#The ESS\|ESS]] the Scarabs use and must make due in the environment their form has adapted to. For this reason raids on vessels and stations almost always start with the disabling of its gravity generator in order to allow the Fleet to fight in its natural environment. Raids on vessels with backup generators or magbooted crews are often far less successful as many of the Sadar raiders have never set foot in gravity and are entirely unprepared to experience it. More modern civilian ships which have entered the Coalition market recently, such as [[Himeo\|Himean]] designs, often feature these backup generators to defeat Sadar raids. Many are even armed sufficiently to fight off the ancient Scarab vessels the Sadar are known to pilot, and some have even destroyed them.

	This lack of success has caused the Sadars to be significantly less prevalent in recent decades, with many officials proudly stating the pirate group is on its way into history. But this lack of activity has led to rumors the Fleet is planning to, rather than simply lay over and die, launch an exodus into uncharted space in order to find a [[Deep Space\|new paradise]] for themselves. This is, of course, only a rumor. But it is a rumor which, due to the secretive nature of the Sadar, is nigh-impossible to confirm or deny. Even if not grounded in reality, it will doubtlessly remain for the near future.

	Corporate privateers, due to most typically only attacking the assets of other corporations they are paid to harass, have a lower impact in terms of total violence than their piratical counterparts. However, their targeting of corporate assets often means they cause greater financial losses to the Spur as a whole, particularly when higher-value shipments such as [[Einstein Engines]] communications equipment or [[Stellar Corporate Conglomerate\|SCC]] medical assets are damaged. It is, however, something of an unwritten rule to not target phoron shipments as the damage— even in the view of Einstein — to the Spur’s economy would be too great.

Most will simply have them disappeared instead of going through the trouble. Life, after all, is cheap in the Spur. And nowhere is it cheaper than amongst the Eridanian Dregs.

	~~===The Tran Thi Hoai Organization===~~

	A mysterious group which is mostly unknown outside of [[New Hai Phong]], certain extranet circles, and SCC command staff, the Tran Thi Hoai Organization, or simply “the Organization,” is is a New Hai Phongese mercenary group which first emerged as a local vigilante group in response to bombings on the planet by tajara in 2462. Rumored to be initially made up of off-duty police officers and Solarian Army troops, the Organization first became known for systematically hunting down any tajara perceived to be involved in the bombing an executing them regardless of their actual guilt. Following the Collapse the Organization disappeared from NHP and a new, supposedly unconnected, “pirate” group armed with a mix of surplus military vessels and civilian vessels, both equipped with modern warp drives, emerged and committed a series of attacks against Hephaestus facilities outside of New Hai Phong before moving onto broader SCC assets in the mid 2463s.

	Attacks by the Organization are poorly documented by authorities but seem to favor NanoTrasen and Hephaestus vessels above others, and their attacks often leave little evidence of their presence — including survivors. Those who survive their attacks have universally been Hai Phongers themselves and none have provided useful testimony regarding the Organization or its potential members. Despite its mysterious nature the Organization’s operatives have been captured on security footage and appear to utilize a mix of unmarked military and corporate equipment. One of its only known calling cards are the tags it leaves on tajara victims of its raids. Each contains a name, generally a Hai Phongese name, and an accompanying number. SCC intelligence has observed that the names are generally different, and the numbers on the tags have steadily gotten larger. Oddly, despite primarily targeting SCC vessels, no attacks by the Organization have been recorded against Zeng-Hu or Zavodskoi vessels.

	Though it is considered by many to be a nation of uptight nobility and vainglorious aspirations, the [[Empire of Dominia]] had long had a far more dynamic relationship with pirates and piracy than any other human nation. The Empire has long held a hardline stance against piracy: if any pirates attack a Dominian vessel, they are to all be punished for their sins with execution without exception unless they opt to convert and serve as privateers for the Empire. Many, for obvious reasons, choose this second option.. This harsh punishment has long been contrasted with a generous policy of paying and hiring privateering forces to harass its opposition. As a result the Empire is paradoxically a major cause of piracy which is itself almost entirely free of the issues it funds. This has long infuriated the Coalition and Republic of Elyra, along with the Hegemony and many tajara nations, who view the Empire as waging what is essentially an undeclared war on them. The Empire has denied this — and long denied any official connection to privateering — and claims it is simply an outlandish conspiracy designed to undermine its legitimacy. The major Dominian-backed privateering entity is the Goddess’ Flotilla — an organization so large and well-organized it is considered by some Elyran officers to simply be another branch of the Imperial military.

	The [[Coalition of Colonies]] has several legal oddities concerning its prosecution of piracy. Through a series of regulations and loopholes all piracy cases in the Coalition are prosecuted on [[Gadpathur]] which, unlike most other member states, allows executions. Most pirates who are prosecuted on Gadpathur have essentially already been found guilty by a court elsewhere in the Coalition and those who arrive on the planet find themselves subject to a quick trial followed by an execution. Gadpathur does not prosecute individuals who have committed piratical acts against [[Solarian Armed Forces#Solarian Navy\|Solarian vessels]] in Coalition space due to the planet’s hardline stance against Sol. Individuals who have committed piracy against Solarian vessels in the Coalition are generally extradited to Sol itself via [[Xanu Prime\|Xanu]] due to most in the Coalition valuing trade over the grudges of the Interstellar War. Privateering is officially illegal under Coalition law, but captured privateers are generally held as prisoners and later exchanged with their nation of origin. Pirates seeking to escape justice and gain asylum find little sympathy in the Coalition, which either executes or repatriates them depending on species and national origin. A distaste for piracy is one of the few things the Coalition and Hegemony agree on, and [[Coalition of Colonies#The Frontier Protection Bureau (FPB)\|Ranger patrols]] often unceremoniously “lose” [[Unathi]] pirate prisoners near [[Izweski Nation\|Hegemony]] patrols.

	Though it is considered by many to be a nation of uptight nobility and vainglorious aspirations, the [[Empire of Dominia]] had long had a far more dynamic relationship with pirates and piracy than any other human nation. The Empire has long held a hardline stance against piracy: if any pirates attack a Dominian vessel, they are to all be punished for their sins with execution without exception. This harsh punishment has long been contrasted with a generous policy of paying and hiring privateering forces to harass its opposition. As a result the Empire is paradoxically a major cause of piracy which is itself almost entirely free of the issues it funds. This has long infuriated the Coalition and Republic of Elyra, along with the Hegemony and many tajara nations, who view the Empire as waging what is essentially an undeclared war on them. The Empire has denied this — and long denied any official connection to privateering — and claims it is simply an outlandish conspiracy designed to undermine its legitimacy. The major Dominian-backed privateering entity is the Goddess’ Flotilla — an organization so large and well-organized it is considered by some Elyran officers to simply be another branch of the Imperial military. The [[Empire of Dominia Great Houses#House Kazhkz\|unathi houses]] of the Empire fund their own privateers.

	The [[Coalition of Colonies]] has several legal oddities concerning its prosecution of piracy. Through a series of regulations and loopholes all piracy cases in the Coalition are prosecuted on [[Gadpathur]] which, unlike most other member states, allows executions. Most pirates who are prosecuted on Gadpathur have essentially already been found guilty by a court elsewhere in the Coalition and those who arrive on the planet find themselves subject to a quick trial followed by an execution. Gadpathur does not prosecute individuals who have committed piratical acts against [[Solarian Armed Forces#Solarian Navy\|Solarian vessels]] in Coalition space due to the planet’s hardline stance against Sol. Individuals who have committed piracy against Solarian vessels in the Coalition are generally extradited to Sol itself via [[Xanu Prime\|Xanu]] due to most in the Coalition valuing trade over the grudges of the Interstellar War. Privateering is officially illegal under Coalition law, but captured privateers are generally held as prisoners and later exchanged with their nation of origin. Pirates seeking to escape justice and gain asylum find little sympathy in the Coalition, which either executes or repatriates them depending on species and national origin. A distaste for piracy is one of the few things the Coalition and Hegemony agree on, and [[Coalition of Colonies#The Frontier Protection Bureau (FPB)\|Ranger patrols]] often unceremoniously “lose” [[Unathi]] pirate prisoners near [[Izweski Nation\|Hegemony]] patrols.

	Following the Interstellar War piracy wracked both the [[Coalition of Colonies\|Coalition]], particularly in the [[The Orion Spur#Weeping Stars\|Weeping Stars DMZ]], and the Outer Ring of the Alliance. Attempts to reign it in by the Coalition and Alliance were initially unsuccessful, and piracy continued for much of the remainder of the 2200s. Only in the early 2300s, with a reinforced Solarian Navy and Xanu’s fleet having been repaired, was piracy contained. Not ended by any means, but contained to the point where it was no longer considered to be a serious problem. It remained but the Outer Ring of Sol continued to profit and expand, with new colonies such as [[Konyang]] forming, as the Coalition similarly improved its situation. The advent of the Warp Gate Project and the centralization of Solarian travel in [[San Colette]] further damaged pirates, who could now no longer rely on easily interdicting ships with their own, and weaker, warp drives.

	To the south, in the [[The Orion Spur#Sparring Sea\|Sparring Sea]], a different kind of piracy emerged in the wake of [[Republic of Elyra#The Second Great Depression & Elyran Revolution\|Elyran independence]] and the [[Empire of Dominia#The War of Moroz\|War of Moroz]]: privateering. The [[Empire of Dominia]], ~~loath~~ to risk its fleets in open economic warfare with Elyra and concerned piracy would destroy its colonial ambitions, instead opted to pay pirates to attack its rivals. The Dominian relationship with privateering has continued to the present day despite the protests of its neighbors and has, ironically, made the Empire one of the nations least troubled by piracy.

	Piracy would not seriously trouble the [[Sol Alliance\|Alliance]] until the mid-2400s, when the problem began to re-emerge in much of the Outer Ring due to ongoing economic hardships and corruption in the Solarian Navy, which often looked the other way if enough money was paid to them. Despite attempts by reformers throughout the 2400s to address systemic problems in the anti-piracy doctrine of the Alliance the situation eventually became too much to manage and, following the [[Mars#The Violet Dawn Explosion\|Violet Dawn incident]], much of the outer Alliance was written off as too difficult to control due to piracy and Navy corruption. Following the Collapse the situation became even more dire for these “written-off,” regions as they were flooded with bands of well-armed and desperate military deserters.

	Lord Admiral Orona herself is said to strictly uphold these religious codes. A woman shrouded in mystery, little is known about Orona’s background beyond vague strokes. While her year of birth is unknown Orona is known to be the child of Ma’zal workers employed by the Helium-3 industry on [[Empire of Dominia#Alterim Obrirava\|Alterim Obrirava]] and was intensely religious. She joined the [[Dominian Imperial Military#Imperial Feet\|Imperial Fleet]] and rose to an unknown rank before allegedly hearing the [[Moroz Holy Tribunal\|Goddess]], who commanded her to begin a holy crusade against the Empire’s enemies in the Sparring Sea and Badlands. Orona then deserted and has since formed the Flotilla around herself, commanding it from an unknown location said to be on the edge of Dominian space. Her status as a Goddess-touched individual — a woman able to commune with the Goddess and interpret Her words — has not been confirmed by the Holy Tribunal.

Her status as a Goddess-touched individual — a woman able to commune with the Goddess and interpret Her words — has not been confirmed by the Holy Tribunal.

	The Flotilla, despite its crusade-based origin, generally employs violence as a last resort and instead relies upon its fearsome equipment and reputation. Many independent merchant vessels in the Sparring Sea work tithes to the Flotilla into their budget, and some even opt to hire a follower of the Holy Tribunal to negotiate with them. Orion Express has begun to incorporate this into their shipping practices for the region, hiring ~~Tribunialists~~, even some former members of the Flotilla, as negotiators on their behalf. On the other hand, [[Izweski Nation\|Hegemony]] and [[Elyra Military\|Elyran Navy]] vessels serve as the main opposition for the Flotilla in the Sparring Sea and it generally avoids engaging them, instead preferring softer targets such as the lone Elyran or [[Hephaestus Industries\|Hephaestus]] merchant vessels it often captures for ransom. Besides these nation-states and corporations, the Flotilla also interacts with the many [[Unathi]] pirates who roam the Badlands and Sparring Sea. Their relationship with most Unathi pirates tends to be one of mutual distrust but not outright hate, with both sides wanting to mostly leave each other alone. This sense of mutual isolation doesn’t apply with Hiskyn’s Revanchists, led by Fer’is Hiskyn, once Fer’is Kazhkz. Her husband was killed for not wanting to join the Empire by the Unathi who would go onto form House Kazhkz, and after a short battle which she lost, she swore vengeance upon them and the Empire itself. Whenever vessels flying her black and red skull adorned flag spot vessels belonging to the Flotilla, they attack, attempting to board as many vessels as possible regardless of their own losses. Those who surrender and are human are spared, however any Unathi are immediately put to death. While significantly less well equipped then the Flotilla, and too small to cause any significant harm, the Revanchists are a small thorn in the Flotilla’s side, harassing larger Flotilla forces within the Sparring Sea and forcing the diversion of raiding groups to squash these efforts to intrude on the Flotilla’s hunting grounds. Both the Flotilla and Imperial Navy have attempted to deal with the Revanchists for some time but have had little success aside from destroying vessels whenever they appear.
