I am running "The Borderland Run" as part of a PoD campaign, and my group is about to get attacked by a mercenary ship. It'll be a tough fight but they're likely to win. Knowing my players, they will want to take the ship afterwards if possible.
I find myself wondering what the various parties' responses are likely to be. It's not quite piracy. Would taking the ship affect the group's standings with the Imperium or the Hierate?
The merc company that the ship belonged to is going to be pissed, of course.
What would other merc companies think about the event? Are they likely to treat it as something that's just not done, or are they likely to think that's part and parcel of the mercenary life?
Are there any other major groups you can think of that might have a strong opinion one way or the other?
[EDIT: assume the merc company in question has a neutral reputation.]
