>>21666704Thank you! We discussed that with /meat/ a bit some time back, basically civilian /meat/ traders of common goods wouldn't be apprehended at all, since they can plausibly be unaffiliated with /meat/'s more unsavory activities. After all, /morig/ is opposed to /meat/'s blasphemous activities, not its very existence. Within /morig/ waters, patrols would likely do a bit of ethnic profiling and hail them more often than others, to sniff about for any excuse to mess with them, like a cop looking for weed in a basketball american's glove box, but they'd have to adopt a gentler touch in an ally's territory.
For example, a slaver ship in /morig/ or international waters would prompt an arrest or a fight, depending on the perp's response, but agreements with allies would force deadbeats to play nice if the slaver is going about perfectly legal business according to local laws. /morig/ sailors in those posts would probably get in situations where they have to let a slaver ship go by unmolested
Samantha feeling internal struggle entry idea?. I can imagine they would get very conflicted about those events, and there would be some deadbeat ships patrolling outside of those maritime borders, specifically trying to catch those ships before they got to safety in /kfp/ waters.
Since the slaves coming into /kfp/ are high-grade ones destined for the nobility, there would probably also be a dynamic where those slavers would have the means and contacts to camouflage the slaves as passengers and the ship as a perfectly normal vessel, which would be harder if you stacked three dozen chained up, bleeding raid victims in your hold.
And yes, deadbeat and /meat/ sailors would absolutely be looking for excuses to throw down when on shore leave kek.
