The 100th Tactical Wing was known to be the privateering unit of the Iron Fang County, under Akeelah's command.

Kelsoe and his crew fought back and eventually turned Aranog and his crew over the authorities. Aranog and his crew attempted to takeover the Pioneer. This caused some rejoicing on the Pioneer, before they realized that the crew of the Justice had changed and become pirates. In 2380, they were discovered by the USS Pioneer near the Great Barrier Rift. Lost and alone in the Oralian sector, almost ten years before the Federation made official contact with the local inhabitants of the region, Captain Bruce Aranog and his crew turned to piracy as a way to cope with being surrounded by strange aliens, who were technologically superior to them by a hundred years. The crew of the USS Justice (NCC-1721) from 23rd century were lost in time going from 2263 to 2363. Along with the RIS Bouteina it launched an attack on a planet held by a Mirak-dominated pirate cartel to both recover some of the crew of the Marianela and to privateer from the cartel by outright capturing the planet. The GHS Marianela began her career as a Prime Industries sectorial flagship before being captured by the Gorn Hegemony.

A person who does so on behalf of a sovereign government is called a privateer. A pirate is a person who commits acts of robbery on another vessel either in space or traditionally at sea.
